How to Deploy your own Outline VPN server on Amazon Lightsail

First, download the Outline Manager “https://getoutline.org/en-GB/get-started/”.

You can choose the one that matches with you operating system.

After completing downloaded, install the Outline Manager.

In the Outline Manager, you can choose the cloud provider where you want to host the Outline VPN Server. For now, I continue with Amazon Lightsail.

Now, go to Amazon Lightsail and create instance.

You can choose the Region where you want to host your server.

You can choose the Operating System. I continue with Ubuntu. Note that please choose Operating System (OS) only.

Choose your plan that meet with your need. And then create the instance.

After creating instance, go to Networking section and create and attach the static ip.

In that Networking section, a little bit scroll down, you’ll see IPv4 Firewall rule and create “All TCP allow” rule.

Now, go to Connect section and click “Connect using SSH”

Run “sudo apt-get update -y”

And then copy and run the command from Outline Manager.

After completed installation, copy and paste the green part to the Outline Manager.

Now, we have Outline VPN Server.

Let’s create a key by clicking “Add new key”. Enter the key name as you prefer.

Now. let’s connect the vpn.

Before you connect, you need to install the Outline VPN client in your device. You can download from the above link.

Get the Outline Access Key in the share button.

You can connect the VPN by just copy and paste the access key or you can share the access key if you want to connect in other devices.

I recommend you should use one access key for one device.

Now, let’s check our ip. You can check in “https://ipleak.net"

My result is Singapore because I hosted the server in Singapore region. Your result may be different depends on the region where you hosted the server.

Okay, That’s all. How easy. I hope you can deploy your own VPN Server! Thank you!
