Private Internet Access is a sponsor of Linux Mint; it works well on Linux Mint. Here is a guide you can use: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/f ... int-debian. Alternative it also has links to videos you can use instead.

Does it have a GUI? I have been looking at PureVPN lately because they have so many server and options to change to a specific country. Any experience with PureVPN and Linux Mint?

I just read your post and the good replies to it. Here are my thoughts on this as well.

They offer a deb package right there: https://torguard.net/downloads.php
Release Type: DEBIAN x64Bit if you're on a 64bit system, otherwise Release Type: DEBIAN x32Bit

Hi "mintcandy",

+1 again for the superb low cost VPN provider "Private Internet Access (PIA)", as user "xenopeek" mentioned they are also a Linux Mint Sponsor. And, they only cost "$3.33us per month". They have great service and a lot of available servers worldwide.

It would help to know more about your system setup. If you run "inxi -Fxzd" from the console terminal prompt, highlight the results, copy and paste them back here, that should provide enough information.

I would highly recommend that you use the "openVPN" protocol with the TCP option with any VPN provider because it is the most secure option. Linux Mint already has the Network Manager and the "openVPN" protocol programs already installed by default. The Network Manager is in your system tray panel, and shows how you are connected to the Internet, and how you can easily setup a VPN server connection (import VPN).

Hope this helps ...
