Re: v p n and linux
When it comes to using VPN for disguising identity, personally I love AirVPN. I'm gonna have to take a look at this one. You can purchase an account with Monero, without providing any personal information. This seems a welcome change from all those VPN's I see advertised all over TV and the internet that want personal information in order to purchase my account. Well worth a look. ~Kyle ___ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list

As for security in the sense of vulnerabilities, this is a thing with every single technology. You can check out the range of activities AirVPN handles, the people behind them and determine their competence. They’re not hiding anything.
