I also used OpenVPN. We started out by making a wrapper over the OpenVPN client on windows. Hindsight being 20/20, I would recommend for someone starting out with building a VPN provider to start on focusing on building a great infrast

Iceland is not free from censorship (and is far from the freedom of speech haven people seem to think it is). The largest ISPs in Iceland were forced to block access to The Pirate Bay and Deildu.net (icelandic torrent site). These blocks we

Hi there, I did the same. I founded a VPN provider[0] in my free time. It is still running, but I have at times been close to shutting it down. Most of my code has been open the whole time and is on github[1]. Some internal tools and the we

Seems like you have a similar use-case as me. How do you deal with sent messages between the POP client and the IMAP clients? How and where do you store the authorative copies of the sent mail?
