I'm still puzzled, almost certainly due to my ignorance.
What exactly is a "personal VPN"?
Is OpenVPN a "personal VPN"?

As far as I can see, Hotspot Shield and Tunnel Bear
are both running VPN servers, on a free/commercial basis,
and if you subscribe to them you can run a VPN client
which communicates with or through them.
Or have I got that wrong?

It's not really clear to me what this has to do with Linux or Windows.
In fact, from a very quick glance at their bumpf,
it seemed to me that Hotspot Shield probably is running a Linux VPN server.

But I admit I'm far from expert on VPN.
