  • Good VPN?

    From red floyd@2:250/1 to All on Mon Jun 27 22:51:14 2022
    Has anyone got a good VPN for Mageia?

    I've tried both NordVPN and PIA. PIA installs, but gets the dreaded
    messed up DNS.

    I can't even install the latest NordVPN due to missing dependencies, and
    the older version seems to hang when trying to connect.

    Any solutions for either PIA or Nord are welcome, or suggestions for VPN software would also be good.

    Thanks

    I installed NordVPN about 3 years ago. If you believe the video
    channels, they are all pretty unnecessary, or you can write your own. I
    don't find movies very interesting, and there are a few Kodi add-ons,
    such as the Oath, that are completely legal.

    Has nothing to do with media use or downloads. I am transitioning my
    laptop to Mageia and want security when I use third-party wifi.
