Ask HN: 2023 Alternative to the Streisand Project

2 points

3 years ago

The Streisand Project[0] provided easy installation of well-configured certs, VPNs and various other software on cloud instances. It was great for travelling internationally: run the script and after a few minutes one had a cloud instance and everything one needed to securely access the Internet through one’s own country.

Unfortunately, it was archived in 2021. Is there anything in 2023 which approaches it? I’ve seen Algo[1], but I don’t believe it does as much to help one to avoid censorship. It’s also based on Ubuntu rather than Debian, which seems like a mistake with security-conscious server software.
