Cloud Project Proposal
What I want to do with my cloud project is to create a virtual private network.
I’m using Microsoft Azure.
This project aims to make a secure and functional web application for users to use and access
the internet without being tracked.
This server will run on a virtual machine and use open-source tools.
These tools provide encryption protocols that
we hope will ensure data confidentiality and integrity.
Users will be able to connect to the VPN via our webpage and explore the internet.
VPNs are important because they deal with real security issues and certain privacy problems on the web.
They protect your personal data from cyber threats that may be on the internet that you can't see on the web normally.
With my VPN, it will be limited only being able to only a small number of
people online because of how strong my CPU is.
Another limit is that
the internet, while using the VPN,
will be a bit slower compared to
a regular connection.
It will be run on a single server, which will also play into the latency
you may face while using the VPN.
Some improvements I can make in the future are having multiple servers to help with connection speed and overall internet connection.
I can also maybe, in the future, make sure it’s more secure.
One way I could do that is with multi-factor authentication.
Licensing
The licensing for my project will be MIT license it’s a open source. Why I chose this license is because it is a widely used,
easily accessible and easy to use it has minimal restrictions which helps when it
comes to cloud projects like the VPN I hope to create.
The flexibility will make it easier for me because it doesn’t have to many complex
restrictions and are regularly used by students with projects.
