Once you add your server, that’s it! In the Outline clients it’s just a matter of pressing “Connect”, and all your traffic will be proxied through your server! You can use this connection to keep your traffic safe when you’re on public WiFi networks, or just to keep your browsing hidden from your ISP.
### Conclusion
That should be all you need to get your very own VPN up and running! **Do not share your access key with anyone**, this is the key starting with `ss://`. If you want to grant other users access to your server, click “Add a new key” in Outline Manager and give them a new, unique key. If you share a key, anyone with knowledge of that key will be able to see all the traffic of anyone else using the key. It should go without saying, but don’t send people keys over unencrypted channels: No Facebook Messenger, no emails. Stick with [Signal, Wire, or Briar]({% link _evergreen/real-time-communication.md %}) if you don’t have a secure app already.

With Outline, there is no need to worry about the security of your server. Everything is set to automatically update with no intervention required! Another thing to note: The port on your Outline server is randomly generated. This is so the port can’t be easily blocked by nation/ISP level censors, however, this VPN may not function on some networks that only allow access to port 80/443, or on servers that only allow traffic on certain ports. These are edge-cases, but something to keep in mind, and if they apply you may need to look for more technical options.

## Avoid Free VPNs
Privacy-respecting VPNs can provide their service because you pay them for it. Free VPNs are **worse** than your ISP when it comes to respecting your privacy, because **selling your data is the only way they can make money**, whereas an ISP is primarily paid for by you.

## So what next?
If you're currently using a commercial VPN, use this information to evaluate their business. Do they seem trustworthy?
At Privacy Guides we've [evaluated]({% link legacy_pages/providers/vpn.html %}) a huge number of VPN providers along similar criteria to these. In our opinion, as of October 2019, Mullvad leads the pack with respect to all these criteria, with IVPN and ProtonVPN falling just slightly behind but catching up quickly. There are still a huge number of providers out there, however. The way to find the best solution for you, is by researching providers with _your_ criteria in mind.
