As a complete newcomer to using Linux, installing Ubuntu on a new hard drive was completely painless, but I know need to work out how to install a VPN on Linux so I can work from home. I am would be most grateful if anyone could point me in the direction of a VPN that is (ideally free) would work with a Windows server and firewall. I put my hands up and say I have never set up a VPN on Windows so am starting from a non-existent knowledge base!
Setting up a VPN on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Thread starter d0cb0b
- Start date
Hey Doc! I'm not too familiar with VPN either, but you'll need some info from your Windows server administrator (like the IP address to connect to). Below is a link to a YouTube video that gives a nice simple explanation. Hopefully the real installation will go so smoothly as the demo! Good luck!

I run Linux Mint 18.3
I use AirVPN
It costs...not free.
Three Days:
1 €
One Month:
7 €
Three Months:
15 €(5 €/m)
Six Months:
30 €(5 €/m)
One Year:
54 €(4.50 €/m)
Works on Linux, and therefore Ubuntu...seamlessly. It even works on a Mac
I have only had 2 minor problems with it....in each case I contacted their support and the fix came almost instantly.
