Greetings,
For the purposes of safety, security and anonymity I was thinking of
going to a VPN (I've already heard that ToR was hacked).
Currently I'm on Ubuntu Unity 14.04 LTS. It was a bit of a headache
to set up but seems to be working now and I have a firewall up.
Any ideas on VPN would be appreciated.
You don't really say what the other endpoint of your VPN would be, and
that's important because most VPNs operate point-to-point. (You can't
just setup a VPN client on your Linux machine and then "VPN the
Internet." You need a defined endpoint to which to connect your Ubuntu
machine.)
That said, OpenVPN is available for Ubuntu. It can be somewhat tricky
to setup if you want to use x509 certificates for authentication, but
you'll find plenty of HOWTO documents floating around the Internet.
Several Linux-based wifi routers (e.g., many ASUS units) have OpenVPN
built-in or available as an option; you might check your router
firmware.
