Re: VPN
I am no security expert. What we need from one of you frighteningly clever chaps is an idiots guide to setting up this vpn
Most providers have simple HOWTO guides for it, it's not that hard.
However, I would keep on searching if I were you. When you choose a provider to protect your privacy, you should IMHO expect them to take reasonable care to indeed protect your privacy - all of it.
Sadly:
www.citizenvpn.com: runs on Rackspace servers in the US
mx citizenvpn.com: all their email is handled in the US, possibly Yahoo.
No thanks. Next!
