Commercial VPN service at opensource

    Good day to all!

    Let me introduce myself.
    I am the CEO / CTO / CIO / etc VPN service SmartVPN.biz.
    You can call me Victor Ivanov, since that was my nickname in the customer support service SmartVPN.biz.

    A couple of years ago, I decided to create my first startup - VPN service.
    The idea came to light after about 5 friends asked me for a VPN on my personal server.
    Naturally, there was no analysis of the market, competitors, or writing a business plan. I just sat down and started coding.
    After some time, the project became available for use - and he saw the light of day.


    There were few expenses - personal development time and $ 20 per month for low-end servers.

    A year and a half the project was in production. A lot has happened during this time.
    The government increasingly tightened nuts around the Russian Internet. Residents of Crimea could not use many foreign services. Many honest, not at all terrorist sites were blocked.
    I am glad that I helped people use the Internet freely, bypassing stupid useless prohibitions.
    Our service also twice experienced DDoS attacks, an unforgettable feeling when you realize that someone is interfering with your project.

    But time passes, and in a place with it, interests and priorities change. Therefore, I decided to stop SmartVPN.biz.
    So that my work would not be in vain, I decided to send the source code of the service to open source, under a MIT license.
    If I understand it correctly, then you can do whatever you want with the code, for example, change and launch your VPN services.

    This is not an advertisement, I just don’t want the work to sink into oblivion, fork and use it: github.com/Mehonoshin
