Hacker Noon ☛ Love, Long Distance, and Linux: Building a VPN Blind to Bridge the Gap
My girlfriend lives in the UK. I live in Portland, Oregon. There is an eight-hour time difference and an ocean between us. When you are 5,000 miles apart, you don't get date nights. You get FaceTime calls and shared media. You find ways to exist in the same cultural moment, even if you can't be in the same room.
Right now, that cultural moment is Love Island All Stars.
She’s watching it live in London. I wanted to watch it with her, but the show is geo-locked to the UK.
There was another hurdle, too: I am legally blind. I have 20/400 vision in my right eye, no peripheral vision, and I rely heavily on NVDA (screen reader) and Windows Magnifier just to navigate a web page.
Most people would just buy a VPN. But I’m an Adaptive Systems Architect. I don't pay for things I can build myself—especially when the motivation is love. So, I decided to spin up a free Oracle Cloud VPS and roll my own WireGuard server to bridge the distance.

What's all the fuss about?
Some swear by it, some swear at it. We’re talking about the command line, that venerable human-computer interface that’s been around for over fifty years and still isn’t going anywhere soon. Even in today’s world of swish graphical interfaces and touch-screen convenience, there’s a place for the command line.
Back when Unix was developed in the late 1960s and very early 1970s, there was no such thing as a graphical user interface (GUI), nor a desktop environment (DE). Typing was the only game in town. If you wanted to interact with a computer, you used a keyboard, and you didn’t think twice about it.
