sparkVPN

Inspiration

We're networking geeks and wanted to discuss/play with related technologies.

What it does

Provides a VPN service with an on-demand pricing model and minimal user setup.

How I built it

Node/Express backend, provisions on-demand DigitalOcean vps instances for routing.

Challenges I ran into

Turns out cleanly/invisibly doing super user stuff (vpn client config) on a users computer is hard.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

It works.

What I learned

Network hacks are hard.
