Vpns help

[firenice03]

Gonna ask.. What exactly are the end results you're looking for...??

I read between the lines and see thanks for https, private internet and selling data to big companies are you referring to the majority of web browsing or do you need a secure tunnel for ALL traffic??

If you want secure browsing... I would look into TOR or such..
Jerry supplied a how to here: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/tutorials/installing-tor-in-linux-lite-3-x-series/msg28923/#msg28923

If VPN is the way you want to go, assuming not VPN'ing into your network (configuring your router) but outward to another entity...
1st research the VPN you're looking at - saw a story not long ago free VPN's (android based) were doing the opposite capturing your data and selling...

Food for thought...
Using a proxy (tor) will slow your internet speed, a VPN will slow it more as there is more to encrypt.. Could be marginal or could be enough to be a headache.. Depends on whom you choose, current bandwidth and things like how many hops between the you and host/server...

Just a plugged nickle, hopefully it helps enlighten and give options..

Good Luck

I prefer American companies over overseas granted we don't need to pick our location to set there

Hi bluzeo,


Here is a short review of one of the CBT Nuggets instructors:

One aspect on their website caught my eye though.  Under "Why Choose Us?" you'll see listed "US based corporation", which is for quite a few people actually a reason NOT to choose them.


If I only knew myself which one best to choose
If you come to a conclusion please do share.

Thanks. I'm debating privateinternetaccess for my VPN. This selling data thing is not cool. Thank Goodness for https.

You'll have to go to Network Connections (Menu, Settings, Network Connections) and Add/Create a VPN connection.  I believe this just sets up a VPN client.  You'll have to have the credentials of the VPN server/service you'll be connecting to.

I'm looking for an VPN service since now it perfectly legal over here to sell my data to big companies if frontier or att want to. I found one but it all terminal stuff. Is there way I can just do it on gdebi??
