What VPN should I get for Linux? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'd prefer to get a VPN to avoid the risk of my internet getting shut down, but I'm not aware of what the options for Linux are. I figured this would be a good place to ask.

PIA for cheap service

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I can also vouch for PIA's cost vs. performance, but their prices have risen recently (still cheaper than most), and I also learned the other day that they're now owned by Kape Technologies, a company that used to do bloat/malware development to do shady data mining.

I'm actually considering switching to AirVPN or Mozilla VPN/Mullvad, despite being a longtime customer, just for the peace of mind. Also, if you buy the three year plan of AirVPN, it's cheaper than PIA.

And, PIA still doesn't offer a standalone WireGuard configuration file, despite promising it was in the works a few years ago, and that's been a stick in my craw when trying to set it up the way I want on Bazzite Linux.

hey’re now owned by Kape Technologies, a company that used to do bloat/malware development to do shady data mining.

not a new thing. been that way fr years nw. sucsk but there apps are stlll foss (on github), still 3rd pary audite, and ii still havent been sued for downlodaing shit lpl

an they have wg. but you neeed to clone their git repo and run some shit to generate it. i wish it was just a simple conf file like ovpn but something about auth token i think. idr
