Re: [liberationtech] Free or Cheap VPN for OS X?

For all else, I run my own OpenVPN servers. Very easy to set up.


Is there any way to do this without linking the server to one's name 
(through financial records)?


I stopped using this method since while this set-up provides security, 
this would work against providing basic pseudonymity, which is something 
I desired.

In most cases, no. Friendly orgs/hosts will sometimes gift a cause anonymous
space on a rack, with an Internet-facing IP, but that's pretty rare.

Right. I don't use my own VPN for anonymity. Tor is better there. I use my VPN
when traveling to give me a (fast) tunnel through the ISP and over the border on
relatively innocuous ports. The rest of the time my VPNs are used as LANs on the
Internet, getting me through to machines around the world I need to stay in
touch with that are hidden behind a NAT.

Cheers,

So what is the known status of the native clients?
I tend to like ipsec...

 Hi,
 Can anyone recommend a free or cheap VPN for OS X (a Psiphon 3
 equivalent)? 
 Before anyone says it, I'm well aware of the various dangers related
 to VPNs and the availability of TOR etc but I'm just looking for
 something for low risk stuff when travelling etc. 
 I don't use OS X myself (Linux on the road) but recommend students w/OS X to 
 use
 TunnelBlick, an OpenVPN client:

 https://code.google.com/p/tunnelblick/

 For low-volatile content, where you just need to get over the border and/or 
 off
 the SP, VPNBook's OpenVPN server is great as it also offers a tunnel over 443,
 80 and 53 - useful when on a non-net-neutral pipe with prejudice against VPN
 traffic:

 http://www.vpnbook.com/

 For all else, I run my own OpenVPN servers. Very easy to set up.

 FYI never use a closed source VPN client, even if the content is non-volatile.
 It might be FedWare or simply dodgy; VPN clients generally need to exec with
 root privileges. OpenVPN clients (like TunnelBlick) are your best bet.

 HTH,
