</div>I'm still puzzled, almost certainly due to my ignorance.<br>
What exactly is a "personal VPN"?<br>
Is OpenVPN a "personal VPN"?<br>
<br>
As far as I can see, Hotspot Shield and Tunnel Bear<br>
are both running VPN servers, on a free/commercial basis,<br>
and if you subscribe to them you can run a VPN client<br>
which communicates with or through them.<br>
Or have I got that wrong?<br>

</div>It's not really clear to me what this has to do with Linux or Windows.<br>
In fact, from a very quick glance at their bumpf,<br>
it seemed to me that Hotspot Shield probably is running a Linux VPN server.<br>
<br>
But I admit I'm far from expert on VPN.<br>

@Timothy: Yeah, HSS & TunnelBear both are using OpenVPN Linux Servers, the thing is,<br>
They're apps oriented for the final user, see: <br><br>To connect to a VPN (or parse your Internet Connection Trough one) you need 3 basic things:<br><br>1) The VPN Server (yours or external)<br><br>2) The VPN Software (OpenVPN for example)<br>
<br>3) The VPN Client (Kvpnc, NetworkManager)<br><br>The thing is, in Win & Mac, users just Download an app such as TunnelBear for example<br>and install it with a "Next>Next>Next" tool, then just click ENABLE and they're "magically"<br>
browsing through VPN connection... They don't need to setup a private server, then parse the<br>keys and the certificates, then install all the things, deal with config files and so on...<br><br>I commited myself to the simple duty of finding something similar but for linux and<br>
Hostizzle (with a little help from other tools) seem to be the closest alternative<br>to such software.<br><br>More clear? :)<br><br>Cheers.<br><br>-- <br>Manuel Escudero<div><div>Linux User #509052<br>Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/Jmlevick" target="_blank">@Jmlevick</a><br>
