In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing Firezone on a Debian operating system.
Firezone is a virtual private network that can be used to browse the internet securely and anonymously. It offers various features, such as no-logging, AES-256 encryption, DNS leak protection, and kill switch.
Before we start with the installation process, we need to make sure that our Debian system has the following:
To download the Firezone installation package, we will use the wget command-line utility. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo wget https://www.firez.one/download/linux -O firezone-latest.deb
This command will download the latest version of Firezone in Debian package format to the current working directory.
Once the package is downloaded, we can install it using the following command:
sudo dpkg -i firezone-latest.deb
This command will install Firezone on our Debian system. If Firezone has any dependencies that are missing on our system, the command will fail. In that case, we need to resolve the missing dependencies before installing Firezone.
After the installation is complete, we can start Firezone with the following command:
sudo firezone start
This command will start the Firezone service and connect it to the nearest server.
By default, Firezone connects to the nearest server, but we can change the server location by modifying the firezone.yaml configuration file.
To open the firezone.yaml file, run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/firezone/firezone.yaml
In the file, we can see various options we can configure, such as server location, protocol, and DNS server.
Once we modify the configuration file, we need to restart the Firezone service:
sudo firezone restart
To check the status of Firezone, we can run the following command:
sudo firezone status
This command shows us whether Firezone is running or not, which server it is connected to, and the IP address of the server.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Firezone on Debian Latest. Firezone is a reliable VPN service that helps to secure your internet connection and protect your online privacy.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
