Linux has become a very popular operating system due to two important factors:
It’s legally free: it doesn’t cost a penny to get a copy of Linux.
It’s an open source operating system: Linux is developed collaboratively. In other words, many companies and developers participate in the ongoing development of Linux which has resulted in greater chances for innovation.
But no matter how great Linux is, you will need to secure your Internet connection through VPN for Linux which is quiet difficult to find. We did our best and here are the top 4 VPNs for Linux in 2013:
WASEL Pro
WASEL Pro VPN doesn’t have a VPN app for Linux currently. It supports Linux through L2TP VPN protocol, so you have to manually configure it on your computer. But if you put security first, it won’t get in your way as L2TP is considered an extremely secure VPN protocol as it features 256-bit encryption.
Plus, if you connect to WASEL Pro VPN through L2TP on Linux, you will be able to use it OpenVPN app on Mac, Windows or even Android using the same VPN account.
So you get two concurrent VPN connections for a rather low rate with privacy and security guaranteed as it doesn’t keep logs.
StrongVPN also doesn’t have a dedicated VPN client for Linux and it’s manually configured on your computer. But it provides a high quality and trustworthy VPN service. StrongVPN supports Linux through PPTP, L2TP and OpenVPN protocols but it costs about $30 per month and it keeps record of all logs.
Hide My Ass
Hide My Ass has a dedicated VPN client for Linux but it doesn’t have an interface as it is command line based. But the speed of HMA may not be as good as expected.
ExpressVPN has a detailed guide with pictures on how to use VPN for Linux step by step. It supports Linux through OpenVPN protocol but it doesn’t support simultaneous connections and doesn’t allow P2P.
