For educational reasons I've decided to create my own CA. Here is what I learned.

First things first

Lets get some context first.

GPG / Mutt / Gmail

About

This is a collection of snippets, not a comprehensive guide. I suggest you start with Operational PGP.

Here is an incomplete list of things that are different from other approaches:

• I don't use keyservers. Ever.
• Yes, I use Gmail instead of some bespoke hipster freedom service

Installing Net::SSLeay with openssl from homebrew (macOS)

You don't need to do anything fancy other than running cpanm - with the most recent Net::SSLeay things should Just Work.

Updated 2020-Mar-10

I realized that since Net::SSLeay is looking in known places (including homebrew's install locations) for openssl, it means that my instructions that set up environment variables are no longer necessary! The following will install the module:

# openssl 1.0.2d

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• A Turkish translation can be found here, contributed by agyild.
• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
