[plug] PIA

[Benjamin]

Hi Dave,

PIA is an example of what are generally called VPN services. Most VPN
services have extensive support for Linux - indeed 95% of the actual VPN
servers themselves are running on Linux machines!

If you're in the market for a VPN, do the appropriate diligence and read
reviews and so on. Private Internet Access as you mentioned is a great
option. I personally use OverPlay for my VPN needs.

Hope that answers your question. :)
