Made a little video tutorial about the easiest way to setup the "Hostizzle" service in Linux (On Fedora KDE using NetworkManager) Also I show how the tool works; Instructions in english are available in video's description at Youtube: http://youtu.be/gwhYl4QthO0 @Daniel: in KDE with NetworkManager I can leave SELinux Enabled and the Hozz VPN Works :) @Timothy: Yeah, HSS & TunnelBear both are using OpenVPN Linux Servers, the thing is, They're apps oriented for the final user, see: To connect to a VPN (or parse your Internet Connection Trough one) you need 3 basic things: 1) The VPN Server (yours or external) 2) The VPN Software (OpenVPN for example) 3) The VPN Client (Kvpnc, NetworkManager) The thing is, in Win & Mac, users just Download an app such as TunnelBear for example and install it with a "Next>Next>Next" tool, then just click ENABLE and they're "magically" browsing through VPN connection... They don't need to setup a private server, then parse the keys and the certificates, then install all the things, deal with config files and so on... I commited myself to the simple duty of finding something similar but for linux and Hostizzle (with a little help from other tools) seem to be the closest alternative to such software. More clear? :) Cheers. -- Manuel Escudero Linux User #509052 Twitter: @Jmlevick <http://twitter.com/Jmlevick> Blogger: Blog Xenode <http://xenodesystems.blogspot.com/> PGP/GnuPG: E2F5 12FA E1C3 FA58 CF15 8481 B77B 00CA C1E1 0FA7 Xenode Systems - xenodesystems.com <http://www.xenodesystems.com/> - "Conéctate a Tu Mundo"
