As an FYI: Opera has a built in VPN that works reasonably well for web surfing. They claim they never track where you go.<br>

I have PIA (Private Internet Access) also. It's usable, but I get a bit frustrated that it seems to drop heavily loaded connections at the drop of a hat. I finally wrote a script that monitors the tunnel and restarts it when it drops. It also incorporates a kill switch using IP tables so that there is no leakage back to the ordinary connection when the tunnel drops.<br>
<br>
Overall it works, but the continual starting and stopping kills the throughput.<br>
<br>
There are a ton of pages and requests on the subject of PIA dropping connections. I never found a workable solution that stops the dropped connedctions. So I really just have a band-aid that mitigates the fact that I know it's going to drop.<br>
<br>
But it's $3 and change a month. Can't complain about the price.<br>
