We use a VPN so that we can be sure our local browsing traffic's private even when we're on an insecure connection like a hotel or airport. Of course there are many solutions available such as ProtonVPN, Mozilla VPN or RiseupVPN, but we like to be independent for our security, and also this allows us to customise the ports and locations and have higher bandwidth than a shared solution.
OpenVPN involves a pretty long installation procedure, but there are some good helper scripts around such as Angristan's OpenVPN-install script. The following instructions for using Angristan's script are based on Angelo's instructions.
Download and run the script
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/angristan/openvpn-install/master/openvpn-install.sh
chmod +x openvpn-install.sh
