I'd really like to get started with this stuff but finding the technical requirement exhausting.

Trying to install privoxyvpn- "simply add the proxy to your browser and ensure the configuration is correct" (no help as to what this means, or how to do it and following the basic instructions just renders my browser unable to connect - googling the error message gives me replies like "simply make sure you read the logs" (no description of how to get to the logs or how to read them)

hearing I need a proxy and a reverse proxy, install SWAG — "first, point the A name at your server and the CNAME at the A and then install the SSL certificate - but be sure to pick between directories and subdomains if you have fewer than 20 domains in your account."

Like what the fuck does any of this mean?

Then I hear if I have a proxy it might interfere with the reverse proxy and both might interfere with the VPN and vice versa.

How does one even get started?

Unfortunately I can't give you specifics - because I simply don't use mulivad. It looks like mulivad used open VPN if on windows, or wire guard for Mac/linux. And Gluetin is a generic vpn client packaged in a docker container?

If you are downloading onto your main computer - a docker vpn client is just going to get in your way. I should ask - what is is said computer running?

it's a raspberry pi running raspbian bookworm

what's the difference between wireguard and mullvad. Is mullvad just another shell for wireguard?

Got it. Yea. In this instance it's a wrapper for wire guard. If your on windows or would be a wrapper for openvpn. And your running mulivad on the pi?
