This was featured 2 years ago. http://hola.org/ is an easier alternative for web browsing.

I would like to see this kind of software open source.... Most of the VPN Clients are to complicated...

Note that you can't use hola for anything except the browsers it supports. (As far as I know.) So it's good if you want privacy only in the browser.

It's not quite as "on-off switch", but: http://www.tinc-vpn.org/

I want to thank the Tunnelbear guys, they've made their service free for everyone in Venezuela during the protests, to avoid government internet censorship (which is about to get worse since they are now meeting with the ISPs to implement more strict website filtering).

I know they cannot offer this indefinitely but I want to thank them for their help.

Curious what logs and other personal information is kept on their servers. Haven't read through the blogs yet, but one thing a number of people consider when using a VPN service like this is the type of information that the provider keeps.

Tried them about a year ago, Service was pretty slow. Never heard from CS after 3 attempts. Ended up needing to go through PayPal to get my money back. Private internet access has been my goto ever since.

They claim that they keep no logs. http://help.tunnelbear.com/customer/portal/articles/1469449-...
