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.

Made a little video tutorial about the easiest way to setup the
"Hostizzle" service in Linux (On Fedora KDE using NetworkManager)
Also I show how the tool works; Instructions in english are available
in video's description at Youtube:
http://youtu.be/gwhYl4QthO0
@Daniel: in KDE with NetworkManager I can leave SELinux Enabled and the Hozz VPN Works :)
@Timothy: Yeah, HSS & TunnelBear both are using OpenVPN Linux Servers, the thing is,
They're apps oriented for the final user, see:
To connect to a VPN (or parse your Internet Connection Trough one) you need 3 basic things:
1) The VPN Server (yours or external)
2) The VPN Software (OpenVPN for example)
3) The VPN Client (Kvpnc, NetworkManager)
The thing is, in Win & Mac, users just Download an app such as TunnelBear for example
and install it with a "Next>Next>Next" tool, then just click ENABLE and they're "magically"
browsing through VPN connection... They don't need to setup a private server, then parse the
keys and the certificates, then install all the things, deal with config files and so on...
I commited myself to the simple duty of finding something similar but for linux and
Hostizzle (with a little help from other tools) seem to be the closest alternative
to such software.
More clear? :)
Cheers.
