SlickVPN

-

SlickVPN’s lack of a Linux client means setup can take a little thought. The website does offer several installati­on tutorials, though, covering OpenVPN on NetworkMan­ager, Command Line and PPTP setup. They’re more detailed than Buffered VPN, too, though not as easy. The Windows client, which you can run through Wine, works well. It looks good, displays servers in a list or on a map, runs speed tests to find the fastest servers, and has some handy bonus features and settings for more experience­d users. Connect directly in Linux and you have access to all the usual OpenVPN tweaks via NetworkMan­ager, or any other OpenVPN-compatible client they want to install. Network novices won’t have as many options, because the SlickVPN website doesn’t offer much help beyond the initial installati­on.
