VPN Help

[NodeWest-Dan]

Are there any VPN services out there that are reputable? What do you recommend?

Alternatively, are there any good guides for OPENVPN out there you would recommend ?

I'm guessing you don't want to setup your own VPN?  You can get a small VPS cheaper in some cases, and the setup isn't very difficult.  You can even find guides/autoinstallers here.

We made some videos on OpenVPN installation and setup.

Personal pref: Never buy a VPN service. Always setup your own if you want security and privacy.

I think Todd left it on the home page still. I know he made a couple of videos. Have questions, feel free to ask.

On a side note, when the video was made I know the wrong client was used. We just haven't had the time to make a new video yet but the server setup is basically all the same and either client works, but the older one used was glitchy.

But if you are the only one on that IP doesn't that make it traceable? I guess privacy is not the same as anonymity.

Setup your own OPENVPN or PPTP VPN for better security and privacy...

I guess privacy is not the same as anonymity. 

Those two were never the same.  But rather than go on that rant again, I'll just direct you to the last paragraph of which sums it up nicely.

 PPTP was cracked long ago. I would not trust it.

Well I just assumed that the OP was looking for a business VPN setup and did not care for anonymity.

I have already read that post and I agree, I meant more in the context of this thread and not in general.

Yea business VPN it is.
