VPN Installation and Setup in Kali Linux
VPN is not installed and enabled by default in Kali Linux which leaves you greyed out. To get this working, we need to download any VPN provider’s OpenVPN configuration files (.ovpn). A VPN service that supports Linux without supplying a native Linux client makes its OpenVPN configuration files available on its website. The information contained in these files can be used to create a VPN connection over Linux using the Network Manager, a third-party client. For the demonstration purpose, we will install the necessary packages and set up the popular ProtonVPN service in Kali Linux. It provides a free version of ProtonVPN for public use and it is fast and secure.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) Setup in Kali Linux
VPN (Virtual private network) is a technology that encrypts your internet traffic on unsecured networks to protect your online identity, hide your IP address, and shield your online data from third parties. VPNs use real-time encryption and send your internet data through a secure virtual tunnel to minimize the possibility of anyone tracking what you do online. A Virtual Private Network is a way to extend a private network using a public network such as the internet.
