<p>Thank you Benjamin, <br>

<p>That's really worth following up - especially after reading Shawn
Powers' article "<i>All Your Accounts are Belong to Me</i>" in the
February Linux Journal!</p>

<div dir="auto">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!</div>

</div>
<div dir="auto">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.</div>

<div dir="auto">Hope that answers your question. :)</div>

It's some time since I posted here but thanks to
plug tips and Ian<br>
Morrison from linuxium, I have Ubuntu on this
little ideapad, and<br>
it's great. I can't remember my password but think
I'm still a<br>
member. Anyway I wonder if any of us have some
thoughts to share<br>
about a linux PIA - seems to be an interesting
concept. I note that<br>
the recent global cyber attack seems to have
little effect on Linux<br>
machines - maybe unnecessary?<br>

Hi, Dave. What's a PIA?<br>
