Read full details here: A very detailed guide on how to setup VPN on Kali Linux and Ubuntu
Every day millions of people uses different VPN service providers to protect their online privacy. But it not all VPN providers are as anonymous or as secured or dedicated to protecting your Online privacy as they claim to be. Some VPN service providers even log your activity and if you are living in a country where certain sites are not allowed or you might get prosecuted for doing something as simple as scanning a network (yes, it’s in-fact an offense in many First World countries). I wrote this article on fixing VPN grayed out problem in Kali Linux. Many readers asked me to write a complete guide on how to set up VPN and which ones are secured.
Fact is, I simply cannot test all VPN providers. I cannot vouch for other users experiences and I usually only write stuffs I am sure about. Of many VPN providers, PrivateInternetAccess is claimed to be the best and fastest and according to their ToS and Privacy Policy, they seems to be well praised and recommended by several reviews such as done by TorrentFreak and LifeHacker. I strongly suggest readers to do some research before committing to any providers.
Following eight questions were taken from TF website and I feel that you should be asking yourself the same questions before going for any VPN providers: (I’ve added some comments below, your opinion might be different).

- Do you keep ANY logs which would allow you to
match an IP-address and a time stamp to a user of your service? If so,
exactly what information do you hold and for how long?
- No logs.
- Under
what jurisdictions does your company operate and under what exact
circumstances will you share the information you hold with a 3rd party?
- Out of US, GB or any NATO affiliated countries if possible. But then you compromise on speed. Alternatively suspend user account instead of handing over logs or data.
- What tools are used to monitor and mitigate abuse of your service?
- Other than abuse blocking and service uptime, no monitor at all.
- In the event you receive a DMCA takedown notice or European equivalent, how are these handled?
- Suspend user account instead of handing over logs or data.
- What steps are taken when a valid court order requires your company to identify an active user of your service?
- Suspend user account instead of handing over logs or data.
- Is BitTorrent and other file-sharing traffic allowed on all servers? If not, why?
- I never cared for BT, but I guess no discrimination on any type of traffic.
- Which payment systems do you use and how are these linked to individual user accounts?
- Anything and everything. Best would be BitCoin. Setup own BTminer and pay with that. In that way, little/no online trace whatever.
- What is the most secure VPN connection and encryption algorithm you would recommend to your users?
- AES-128, RSA2048 or higher supported. Don’t use SHA1.
