What is VPN?
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network.
VPN extends a private network within a public network and enables the users to send and recieve data packets anonymously if the users are directly connected to the private network.
While doing some transactions or working with corporate organisations, VPN protects your data from the web traffic and lets you communicate in a secure manner. It actually circumvents the web restrictions.
Configuration of VPN in Linux Destros.
There are a lots of applications providing vpn services. But many of them are paid. VPNBook is one of the best free vpns with a moderate speed.
Navigate to this link. And click on OpenVpn tab.
2. Download anyone of the Proxy Bundles from the list of available download links as shown in the figure above.
3. Navigate to the folder where you downloaded that proxy bundle.
4. Unzip (extract) the zip file.
5. Now a VPN folder will be created. Just navigate to that folder, There you can see the open vpn files with .ovpn extension.
6. Now open the terminal and type :
'sudo openvpn /path/to/vpn-folder/file-name'.
In my case, I have those files in VPN folder which is under my home directory.
'sudo openvpn ~/VPN/VPNBook.com-OpenVPN-Euro2/vpnbook-euro2-tcp80.ovpn'
Provide your sudo password.
Use the user name and password as provided in the website above.
It takes a few seconds to configure, and then you can start browsing securely and anonymously.
If it is too slow then use another file ..ie. I used tcp80 protocol in the figure above, similarly try all the files and choose the faster one.
