Hi there, it's my first post so please bear with me if I'm doing something wrong.
I'm looking for a good free VPN to use that retains good connection speed in the UK, preferably one that's easy to install in Ubuntu 14.04! if you need any more information please don't hesitate to ask!
Yeah sadly a free VPN is just BEGGING for data mining. Those companies have gotta make money somehow...and how do you think the free VPN companies do it? :P Maybe you should host a VPN on your home network if you're just concerned about privacy when you're on the go. I do that and it works well (I use openvpn on pfsense) but if you need a free solution best I can tell you is to use the HTTPS everywhere extension. You just aren't going to get privacy for free. (As many ISPs are showing, half the time you can't even get privacy when you pay them :P)
I have no experience with paid VPNs myself (I never needed one really) so I can't really point you towards anyone specific. Sorry :(
