LQ and Private Internet Access VPN Service


I've used Private Internet Access while traveling and have been very happy with the service. I'm happy to announce that we've partnered with them and when you signup using this link a small portion will help fund LQ. The PIA VPN Service encrypts your connection and provides you with an anonymous IP to protect your privacy. Linux is fully supported as are PPTP, OpenVPN and L2TP/IPSec.

Hi Jeremy, I just found about this vpn and would like to use it on Slackware (with wicd). I noticed their downloads only have a ubuntu download. Do you use it with Slackware and how?

Thanks,

Rob

While the official client only supports Ubuntu, https://helpdesk.privateinternetacce...N-PIA-on-Linux explains how to use OpenVPN on any distro.
