What vpn does HN recommended?
6 comments

For bypassing geoblocks Hola is great. Just have a seperate Chrome/Chromium installation just for Hola.

Or if you're a little bit evil, you can just use the Hola IPs as a regular HTTP/HTTPs proxy: http://milankragujevic.com/uploads/hola/

All the benefits, none of the downsides.

To do what Hola appears to do best (bypassing filter protection or basic traffic forwarding) I just use a socks5 proxy server, all you need is a box with ssh and make sure your dns requests as well as the http data go through the proxy.

I think you can even set it up with chrome/ff without addons, but I use foxyproxy since you can switch in seconds.

Set up an OpenVPN server on Digital Ocean's Germany region.
Germany?
Mullvad works very well for me.
F secure freedome is good.
You do realize that HN is more than one person, right?

Tomorrow you should ask, "What text editor does HN recommend?"
