Re: What are your VPN Recommendations?

Try installing PIA VPN. Available from MX Package installer. It is a nice app similar to the ones you find in Windows. Very easy to install and has VPN from different countries.

Private Internet Access (PIA) was acquired by Kape Technologies, an Israeli based firm.
