Getting Started

When you use commercial VPNs, you just move the risk down the VPN tunnel as you trust 3rd party providers with your data. By deploying a private VPN, you take ownership of your privacy. You can do that now easily with Syntropy Stack.

What you're going to build?

We aim to make the process of setting up your private VPN as easy as possible. We believe that you will set up your private VPN infrastructure with ease by going through this tutorial. Moving forward, we will be building an extended knowledge base that brings you through the technical aspects of running your VPN, as well as educating you about privacy on the Internet. If you have any further questions, let us know on our Discord, where we have a dedicated channel for VPN support.

Setting up your private VPN is really no longer than four steps:

• 1 - Setup Virtual Private Server (VPS)
• 2 - Add your endpoints (devices) - you can add your endpoints in two ways, depending on the operating system installed on the devices:
  • 2.1. Adding endpoint using Syntropy Agent (Windows, Linux, macOS)
  • 2.2. Add other devices by creating Virtual Endpoint and installing WireGuard® App (Android, iOS)
• 3 - Establish a connection between VPS and your endpoints(devices)
  • 3.1. - Connect your Endpoints
  • 3.2. -Connect Virtual Endpoint with VPS and Set up your WireGuard® Apps on your devices
• 4 - Success! Monitor your connection
