Windows 11 on Your Root Server: RDP, Tailscale & VPN for a Free Internet
In this article series, I present an alternative approach: Instead of relying on classic VPN services, you install Windows directly on a vServer and access it via Remote Desktop (RDP). The advantage: You don’t just surf “similar to a VPN,” but through a full-fledged Windows PC – which is much harder to detect as a VPN connection.
Why does this make sense?
Many users rely on services like NordVPN, Surfshark, or ProtonVPN to bypass geoblocking, network restrictions, or internet censorship. But these providers are often under scrutiny and specifically blocked by streaming platforms, online services, or restrictive networks. Even modern alternatives like Tailscale face limitations here.
