Local deployment

You can use Algo to configure a local server as an Algo VPN rather than create and configure a new server on a cloud provider.

Install the Algo scripts on your server and follow the normal installation instructions, then choose:

Install to existing Ubuntu 18.04 server (Advanced)

Make sure your server is running the operating system specified.

PLEASE NOTE: Algo is intended for use as a dedicated VPN server. If you install Algo on an existing server, then any existing services might break. In particular, the firewall rules will be overwritten. If you don't want to overwrite the rules you must deploy via ansible-playbook and skip the iptables tag as described in deploy-from-ansible.md, after which you'll need to implement the necessary rules yourself.
