vpn.ac

[labbe5]

First, here is a review to get you started : https://vpnreviewer.com/vpnac-review

For features, look here : https://vpn.ac/features

Examples of features :
Self-hosted, encrypted DNS services; we do not rely on 3rd parties

Same as DNSCrypt-proxy, rarely seen in the industry.

Cutting edge VPN encryption: up to AES-GCM 256-bit encryption with Elliptic Curve and/or 4096-bit RSA authentication, SHA512 HMAC and PFS

Elliptic Curve is also rarely seen in the industry.

As for privacy, there is not a lack of features :
Users' privacy is increased through shared IP addresses on VPN Nodes.

All DNS queries are encrypted (AES 128-bit) to protect customers against 3rd party DNS monitoring and hijacking

vpn.ac is backed by a security company :
We provide a VPN service, but that is not what makes us a security company. Rather, what makes us a security company is much more than that, it is the fact that we carry out pentesting, do security audits, consulting, and the fact that we've been into the information security industry for over 15 years.

Here is how to connect to a VPN via NetworkManager, a step-by-step guide :

Open terminal and run apt-get install network-manager-openvpn (as root) to install Network Manager
Open browser and download your VPN provider’s CA (configuration) files and .ovpn (server) files that you want to use
Click on Network Manager icon, choose VPN Connections, followed by Configure VPN
In the new window – click VPN tab and import downloaded .ovpn file
In Settings – give your connection a name, choose Password for Authentication type and input the VPN login given to you by your provider. Then select the ca.crt (CA Certificate) file downloaded earlier. Click Save
Close the Settings window, click on the Network Manager icon once again, choose the VPN connection that you’ve just created to connect. Done!

There is also a SecureProxy addon for Firefox and Chrome, but you must be a registered vpn user to use their addon.

p2p traffic is supported.

The reviewer was impressed with vpn.ac, for good reason.

If you need this kind of privacy and security, you will have to pay a somewhat higher fee than most vpn.

tallboy no client for Linux just like most VPN providers but easy enough to set up using OpenVPN, PPTP (insecure), or IPsec in Linux OSs and they do say it's been tested on all major distros. I jus don't like the idea of the all in one client cert (embedding certs) that they seem to use.

I absolutely agree to that, it seems like an intelligent product, with a sort of old-fashioned way of thinking design quality!
