VPN CyberGhost, Anyone use it.

Which of the Free VPN easily implement in Puppy Linx? I would rather not spend a lot of time testing.

I'd either go with something opensource or instead with our emails you pay a small fee for. I tried a free VPN before and thought that there was too much Spyware. However, if this VPN that you mention has good reviews then maybe I'll give it a try. One thing that I'd look for is to see if you can run the installer as spot.

VPNBook is the answer

Generally, VPN are made with Windows users in mind, for this reason few are made for Linux, and when they are available for Linux, it is only for Ubuntu. Fortunately, Puppy being cameleon-like, Puppy users can use a VPN for Ubuntu with an Ubuntu-based Puppy, anything based on Precise up to Vivid.

But i would go for VPNBook. It's open source, free, available on demand when privacy is needed in a hotspot (coffee shop, public library, airport, etc). You must have OpenVPN installed beforehand, and nearly all OS have it in their repository.

I refer you to the post VPNBook and OpenVPN in Security section to learn how to use the terminal in order to use VPNBook.

In the end, Windows users pay for a VPN based on something open source and free to use (OpenVPN); Linux users are wiser.

The only VPN I have used and trusted is AirVPN.

ahhh....It came back to me. The malware loaded vpn that I tried a few years back is called "hotspotshield"

Which is why, I would avoid free VPNs that are closed source.
