Self Vpn Setup

Self VPN Setup

Overview

Provide a step-by-step workflow to help the user buy an Aliyun SWAS instance, install the VPN stack with a one-line script, and configure their client. Keep the flow interactive by confirming prerequisites, OS, and credentials before running commands.

Workflow

0. Collect Required Inputs First

• Request a single reply containing: client OS, Aliyun account status, target region, instance public IP, and whether the user allows credential sharing.
• If the user does not want to share credentials, switch to "user-runs-command" mode and provide exact copy-paste commands.

1. Qualify And Prepare

• Confirm the user wants a self-hosted VPN and understands they will pay the cloud provider directly.
• Ask which OS the user will run the client on. Default workflow assumes Windows with v2rayN.
• Ask whether the user already has an Aliyun account and a payment method.

2. Provision The Server

• Direct the user to the Aliyun SWAS purchase page and walk them through instance selection.
• Ensure the user opens all required ports in the SWAS firewall (TCP+UDP all).
• Ask for the instance public IP after purchase.

3. Install The VPN Stack

• Ask the user to reset the instance password in the SWAS console.
• If credentials are shared, use SSH to connect and run the install script.
• If credentials are not shared, instruct the user to run the same command locally and paste back the final share link line(s).
• Capture the output and return only the final share link line(s) to the user.

4. Configure The Client

• Provide the correct client download link for the user OS.
• For v2rayN, instruct how to import the share link and test latency.

5. Validate And Troubleshoot

• Recommend testing with the hysteria protocol first if present.
• If latency is -1 or no connectivity, check firewall settings and IP/password correctness first.
• If Google or other sites fail, advise checking client rules and enabling TUN mode.
• If campus/corporate networks block ports, suggest waiting or switching ports.
• Declare setup success only when latency is not -1 and at least one target site is reachable.
