Full transcript

1. 0:00Amnesia is your own private VPN on a
2. 0:03server used only by you with no
3. 0:05subscription, no shared users. The
4. 0:07entire setup takes about 5 minutes and
5. 0:10requires no terminal commands. Let me
6. 0:12show you how to set up AmnesiaVPN.
7. 0:20AVPN routts your traffic through another
8. 0:22server, hides it from your local
9. 0:24network, and gives you a different IP
10. 0:26address. With a commercial VPN, you're
11. 0:29essentially trusting a company with
12. 0:30everything you do online. You share one
13. 0:33IP address with thousands of other
14. 0:35users, [music] and those IPs are often
15. 0:37blocked. You also pay a subscription,
16. 0:40sometimes per device. And in restricted
17. 0:42networks, well-known VPN services are
18. 0:45the first to get blocked. The
19. 0:47alternative is to run your own VPN on an
20. 0:49affordable server. Only you use it. The
21. 0:52IP belongs only to you. [music] No
22. 0:55subscription, no third party sees your
23. 0:57traffic. For this, one of the best
24. 1:00solutions is AmnesiaVPN.
25. 1:02Free, [music] open-source, self-hosted.
26. 1:05What makes Amnesia different is that the
27. 1:07entire setup happens from the client app
28. 1:09on your computer or phone. No terminal,
29. 1:11no manual server configuration. The app
30. 1:14connects to your server via SSH and
31. 1:17deploys everything automatically. By
32. 1:19default, it installs Amnesia WG, an
33. 1:23obfiscated version of WireGuard that's
34. 1:25[music] fast and works even under strict
35. 1:27DPI. If you need deeper obfiscation for
36. 1:30heavily censored networks, other
37. 1:32protocols are supported as well. Open
38. 1:34VPN overcloak X-ray and protocols like
39. 1:38Shadow Socks are supported as well.
40. 1:40Before you start, one thing to [music]
41. 1:42prepare. All you need is an affordable
42. 1:44virtual server. Requirements are minimal
43. 1:48for personal use. One vCPU and 1 GB of
44. 1:52RAM is enough. OS a fresh Ubuntu or
45. 1:55Debian. The important choice here is the
46. 1:58region. This is the country your traffic
47. 2:01will appear to come from. So, choose
48. 2:03where you want your IP to be located.
49. 2:04And if you're bypassing restrictions,
50. 2:06pick a location that isn't blocked from
51. 2:08your network. After ordering [music] the
52. 2:10server, the provider will send you its
53. 2:12IP address, the root login, and the
54. 2:14password. You'll need those. Now, the
55. 2:17setup itself. First, download Amnesia
56. 2:20from the official website, amnesia.org.
57. 2:23You'll see versions for Windows, Mac OS,
58. 2:25iOS, Android, and Linux. [music]
59. 2:28We're demonstrating on Windows, so we
60. 2:30select that version and click download.
61. 2:32Once downloaded and installed, click the
62. 2:34add button, the plus icon, and a menu
63. 2:37for creating a new connection will open.
64. 2:39Select self-hosted VPN. In this window,
65. 2:43fill in three fields.
66. 2:44>> [music]
67. 2:44>> In the top field, enter your server's IP
68. 2:47address. For this example, we're using
69. 2:49the hostkey control panel at
70. 2:50invi.hostkey.com.
71. 2:53Here's our server. Copy the IP address.
72. 2:56In the SSH username field, enter routt.
73. 2:59In the password field, enter the
74. 3:01password provided when you ordered the
75. 3:02server. Then click continue. On the next
76. 3:05screen, select the automatic
77. 3:07installation option and [music] click
78. 3:09continue again. Wait for the
79. 3:11installation to complete. It typically
80. 3:13takes no more than 5 minutes. During
81. 3:15this time, the app connects to the
82. 3:17server via SSH, deploys Docker and the
83. 3:20protocol container, and configures
84. 3:21[music] everything automatically. Once
85. 3:24complete, Amnesia creates a readytouse
86. 3:26connection. [music]
87. 3:28All you need to do is click connect.
88. 3:30Connection successful. Let's check what
89. 3:32our IP address is right now. Our IP is
90. 3:3582.26.171.216, [music]
91. 3:38216, the same as our server's IP located
92. 3:42in Finland. To use your connection on
93. 3:44another device, download the Amnesia
94. 3:46client on that device as well. No need
95. 3:49to create a new connection. Just click
96. 3:52share, then share again, and a
97. 3:54configuration will be generated.
98. 3:57You can send it to another person or to
99. 3:59yourself on another device, either via
100. 4:02QR code or by copying and saving the
101. 4:05connection data to a file. That's it.
102. 4:07Your own private VPN fully under your
103. 4:10control. Set up without a single
104. 4:11terminal command. [music]
