I recently partitioned 256GB for Linux Mint and installed it. Everything is fast and snappy but I live in a country where everything on the internet is censored (YouTube, Reddit, and pretty much 50% of the internet). On windows I use “Hotspot shield VPN” but on linux everything I tried didn’t work (ProtonVPN, Windscribe). I also use windows hotspot to share my VPN connection to other devices. I’m wondering if there’s any free vpn that can help me on linux mint, or if possible, running a windows vpn on linux.
Thanks in advance.
ProtonVPN works perfectly fine on Mint, what issue did you have with it ? OFC the free version doesn’t allow torrents, but if you’re gonna be doing that, you should be getting a paid VPN anyways.
HotSpotShield has a linux client, my man. You can just install it on Mint and use the same account from your pc
You can try control d uncensored DNS it works pretty well in India because some Indian ISPs were blocking anime sites. And this had helped a few friends I have in India. Free DNS Servers - Anonymize Your Internet
Use the uncensored tab then configure then help me configure for whatever device you are using. Tell me if it helps you or if you need any other help.
No I don’t use torrents, I use vpns so that I can watch YouTube videos and play steam games. Whenever I try connecting it tries for a couple seconds and then times out (it works fine when I connect to my laptops hotspot when it has a vpn on, but i dont want my laptop on constantly and its going to make me have bad speeds)
The linux client only supports premium accounts, not free/basic ones
I clicked get started and it said that it’s not going to bypass government restrictions and it’s not going to help, should I still try or no
سلام خوبی؟
من از تلگرام یه وی پی ان پولی گرفتم، وی پی ان رایگانی که با مینت کار کنه نمیدونم
It won’t hurt anything 2 try. If it doesn’t work just revert it back. It depends on how your ISP is blocking things. It may help it worked for friends in India.
Hopefully it helps but try it for a bit and tell me . If it doesn’t work I will try 2 help you with other suggestions.
Thanks, I’ll try that when I’m home

I wish you luck and have a safe trip home. Also put it in the browser under secure DNS . Depending on your country they might just be using a DNS block of websites. Oh and if it does work set your router to use the DNS addresses. But after changing those settings either way restart the router and device 2 flush out the old ones.
The paid version has a location warp no VPN required it does it automatically . You just create a profile and set the location where you want it . It redirects all traffic from the custom profile.

I added the uncensored legacy DNS but unfortunately it didn’t load youtube
I’m sorry 
. I will think of other options.
Unfortunately the legacy is unencrypted so they can see that. You would need the encrypted DNS . But they probably got wise 2 it.
Don’t be sorry, you’re helping me on your own accord
The encrypted one is seemingly a URL so I don’t know how to set that up
This is a good guide on how 2 do that. Configure DNS over TLS on Linux Mint to Protect DNS Privacy . Try using the encrypted DNS in the browser 2 even see if the encrypted one works. But i will keep looking.
