Would love to see a bitcoin purchase option.
Yes, and please add an option to pay in bacon while you are at it.
I'll be sticking with iPredator, and here's why: I don't care what my VPN client looks like -- I care about how secure it is. I have immense trust for Peter Sunde & Friends. They are not in this business to Get Rich Quick™. They are in it for deeply held moral, social reasons; reasons, so deeply held, they have put their own personal safety and freedom at risk. I feel very safe knowing they will NEVER comply with NSA…
Hi, I'm Ivan Sergeyenko, also known as iBear. I am one of the engineers on the TunnelBear team. We all hold deep respect for Peter Sunde and his team. iPredator is definitely one of the most trustworthy VPN services out there. Our goal, however, is different. We aim to bring VPN/privacy protection to people who have never heard of VPN (notice that we don't have "VPN" anywhere on our site, except for in a quote from T…
Haha - No thanks. The fact that TunnelBear rely on reviews from the MSM, who are gvt mouthpieces defending the NSA spying through sneaky wording techniques, this just puts me off. I mean come-on, they're getting Yahoo to vouch for them? With the amount of hacks Yahoo have had recently! Yahoo didn't even use SSL between their severs for christ's sakes... and not to mention the NSA are all over their users' data!
I like the idea, and the interface is attractive. But only a solid review from the likes of TorrentFreak (or a similar 'forward-thinking' media outlet) would reassure me enough. Does TunnelBear even accept cryptocurrency?
SSH doesn't work over Tunnelbear. That's really a deal breaker.

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.
Now I use DigitalOcean's $5/month box running CentOS.

Pretty sure that's not true. I believe I've used SSH over TunnelBear, and this page specifically calls out SSH as supported: http://help.tunnelbear.com/customer/portal/articles/1470869-...
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is there a 1-click deploy for a VPN on DigitalOcean that just works? SSTP prefered.
For most things though, you can just use ssh, no setup on the server required. You just need putty, or another ssh client on your local computer.
Nice guide for putty here: http://www.bestvpnservice.com/blog/how-to-setup-putty-for-ss...
For command line ssh clients, things are much easier. Just go:
ssh yourhost.com -D 8080
and then set up firefox to use a 'socks proxy' at localhost:8080, like the firefox part of that putty guide.
