## How To Setup A Lokinet Exit Node for "Normies" aka newbies aka non-developers.
|
||||
|
||||
A Lokinet Exit Node is a next-generation onion routing service that works like a VPN.
|
||||
It is similar to TOR or I2P, though a heck of a lot better. You will be able to surf Lokinet as
|
||||
well as regular 'ol clearnet (the "real" main internet everyone uses) with complete state-of-the-art
|
||||
privacy and anonymity. For example, if you are a TOR regular, you likely use a VPN for that
|
||||
extra protection against ISP snooping. Well, now you can just use a Lokinet Exit Node for
|
||||
a vastly superior protection in comparisson to regular VPNs
|
||||
|
||||
You can find free Lokinet Exit Nodes around, although performance mileage may vary.
|
||||
Alternatively, some super high performance Exit Nodes exist, where for a very small
|
||||
fee you will be able to surf the entire internet with great performance. You can find
|
||||
offers over at http://cafe.loki
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can run your own Exit Node!
|
||||
|
||||
This guide is intended for everyone out there who struggles with classic
|
||||
build instructions given by developlers. What is terribly logical to them is often
|
||||
weird and alien to the rest of us.
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of this tutorial is to give you an idiot-proof copy/paste procedure
|
||||
that should work with virtually any VPS (virtual private server) running Ubuntu 18.04
|
||||
or Ubuntu 20.04. Other flavours are likely to work, however not tested.
|
||||
|
||||
A Lokinet Exit is very CPU dependent. Be sure to buy a quality dedicated server, or a very high
|
||||
quality VPS. Recommended is 2 or more cores, and 4GB RAM. RAM is not so important, but the
|
||||
more cores with higher frequencies, the better.
|
||||
|
||||
Be sure to check their bandwidth limitations and your personal usage to avoid nasty surprises
|
||||
come billing.
|
||||
|
||||
Alright, enough talk, let's get our hands dirty.
