BOOK HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED.
Amazon is processing my Unpublish Request on Sep 6, 2022.

PLEASE REQUEST A REFUND FROM AMAZON

Build a Smart Raspberry Pi VPN Server + Tor Router (3rd Edition) is a how to book written by me, Ira Finch, and published on Amazon as a Kindle electronic book.

NOTICE: This is the LAST version of this book (3rd Edition, Rev 4.0) and ONLY works with Raspberry Pi OS dated April 4, 2022. Any future version of that OS will likely not be compatible and no support can be provided. When the Raspberry Pi Foundation releases it’s next OS version, however minor, this book will be removed from the Amazon Kindle store and will no longer be available. This web site will remain available for owners of this final version for at least a year afterwards.
Why? Near zero sales and Amazon’s horrible support for book revisions (required for a constantly changing OS).

NOTE: The latest revision on Amazon’s Kindle Store is 3rd Edition, Rev. 4.0, which is current and correct for the latest Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye) released on April 4, 2022 for all Pi Versions. This includes a Tor Router, major script enhancements, SSH Hardening, OpenVPN over SSL and more. Check the page after the Cover Page of this book on your Kindle Reader. If you do not have the latest revision, contact Amazon’s Customer Support using the ‘Send Feedback’ menu item in Kindle to request it to be pushed to your Reader. This site also contains those corrections for all Revisions of my book.

If you feel there is an error or omission, I do apologize. Please allow me the opportunity to correct such issues before posting a negative review on Amazon. I read every email, every review, every posting and respond as quickly as possible. But I am only human, and don’t always catch every change before a reader does.
