I have a site in a US based hosting provider. I want to mask the IP to seem like the server is in Russia or any other country. Can I setup a VPN on the server? How would I go about this?

Using NGINX, Ubuntu.

It's possible to do it like that, but with a caveat. Think of a VPN as a tunnel. Your server'd be on one end, but you'd need a server with a Russian ip on the other end as well. Just moving to a Russian host may be easier.

If you'll be doing.. things of questionable legality you may want to consider setting up an .onion site instead. These route your traffic through Tor, which provides a stronger layer of anonymity to crack. Really read up before going that route first though, they're not hard to set up, but quite easy to mess up with and leak your actual ip from as well.

What I'm trying to accomplish I would call Grey hat hacking so no need for .onion site. :)

I had my server on a Russian host but server performance is nowhere near as fast as hosting it in US(most visitors are from North America)

You can use reverse proxy & cloudflare for your website

Will look into this thanks!
 
Has anyone here used freedns.afraid.org? Thoughts?

I admittedly just gave the site a cursory look, but don't they just do DNS forwarding? The hostnames will still point to your actual ip.

Use Cloudflare free account to hide your true server IP.

I'm doing just that until I find better alternatives. Cloudflare just ends up revealing your IP to anyone who asks though. Thanks.
 
What u wanna do is basically have two hosting blocks. Use ur Russian host and ur American host you can actually do a curl call from russian to the ameican host website like a web proxy does an that would give the appearance that the site is actually Russian because it's using a Russian hostbox as the proxy this would hide American IP permentaly an would be unrevealable. Although speed probably still be an issue unless both blocks are on a 1gbs connection.

Way around the above method.. find a host that's in Russia and the USA an have them map the IP to the American box otherwise the above is the only option .u have at truely hiding the IP from dns and public access
 
All good..but lets cut it short..if you want people to see traffic coming from russia..then server needs to be in russia..no if no but..if you want a russian server to forward request to your usa server then all these options apply..although iptables based dnat will be best performance wise

One way or another your traffic has to come from Russia, you cannot "fake" the ip no matter what you've seen on tv shows.
 
This is most definitely possible, but if you're doing it because performance is your main concern then you shouldn't.
What you can do is to setup a double reverse proxy configuration. You set up Cloudflare and configure it to point to your Russian NGINX box, and from that box you should then set up yet another reverse proxy to point to the US box. This way even if Cloudflare gives you up they will only be aware of the Russian box. Can't post any link because I don't have 15 posts.
Be aware that there are several other techniques that might be used to leak your IP depending on the services you're running.
