Raspberry Pi with a VPN on it can provide you with a stable and fast private network connection with a high level of mobility. How does it all work?
VPN ( or Virtual Private Network) helps you encrypt your connection and browse the Internet anonymously with a hidden IP to protect your privacy. And you would probably want to set up a VPN on your Raspberry Pi to protect your privacy while surfing the Internet.
Today we’ll tell you about Private Internet Access VPN Service. Although PIA doesn’t have an installer for Raspberry Pi you can use PIA and set up a VPN on your RPi with the help of ExaGear Desktop. Below is a simple instruction on how to do that.
