[dba-Tech] A safe VPN

Hi All:

A few days ago I was talking to a fellow who I did work for over the years. (Moved him from a single screen to four screen as he worked his way up the ladder) He has always worked for Nesbitt Burns, the wealth management section for BMO (Bank of Montreal) and he recommended a piece of software that he and a number of his clients use. 

It is Hideme at https://member.hide.me/en

He uses this software for a number of clients who do not want their share-holding status to be sent out on insecure mail networks or information from foreign banks, trust accounts or off shore investments. Then there are many businesses who deal with foreign companies and do not want to be exposed to the whims of particular governments. In fact his entire department uses the above linked product for their various cllents.

The software has a number of advantages. It can be turned off and on depending on what your activity is, it can use a number of different encryption methods depending on what PPTP client or VPN you are running, it officiates your browsing IP address and other credentials, runs on virtually any platform and there is a 'free' 2GB per month option which should work just fine for doing your monthly banking and such. It is easy to install as I did so within a few minutes on my desktop Ubuntu box.

Below is the pricing model: https://member.hide.me/en/pricing
