The list of actions listed below was taken mostly from Book Of Zeus with minor modifications and did the job well for Ubuntu version, which was available at that moment (May 2016). This gist was created for internal use and was never meant to be discovered by the web, although Google managed to find and index this page, which was a great surprise for me. Please check the original source for the updated information (links are provided in most of the sections), and read the comments below: they provide more details about the usage experience.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

A more complete example (with rewriting cookie domains/paths) can be found at http://blog.haproxy.com/2014/04/28/howto-write-apache-proxypass-rules-in-haproxy/

We will try something roughly equivalent to the following ProxyPass directives in Apache2:

ServerName www.example.com
...
ProxyPass        /foo/  http://foo.local
ProxyPassReverse /foo/  http://foo.local

In haproxy.cfg we define a backend, say foo, to reverse-proxy to foo.local backend server.
