  • Why you want to use openvpn with a config file for ALL VPNs

    This is yellow journalism, but if it's real, then it's all the more reason
    for NEVER using any VPN client other than the well known open source VPN client with the VPN text configuration file instead (eg filename.ovpn).

    You may also want to consider Wireguard.

    For yellow journalism, they do give some good advice:

    "Of course, many VPNs are totally safe to use, just make sure they are reputable, have good reviews and are downloaded from an official
    source."

    Wireguard is the way forward.

    I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow
    isn't looking good, either.
    I am BOFH. Resistance is futile. Your network will be assimilated.
