From Private Internet Access:
Dear Goats,
The internet is not meant to be censored.
Private Internet Access has generously donated to Voat users, 20 x month-long free trials of their no-log VPN service. Voat is going to give these out to Goats in the first official Voat & PIA VPN Giveaway. This is the perfect tool to Unblock the Web and say "FUCK CENSORSHIP".
How to enter:
Submit a picture of your middle finger raised and a verification sheet of paper that says "FUCK CENSORSHIP".
Here is an example:

Winners must agree to post a follow up about their experience using PIA.
From Putts:
Isn’t it funny, that in a time when most websites try to prevent VPN access, Voat is promoting it? This is because tools like PIA help you to protect yourself, and it’s best to “always use protection®.”
I’ve been using PIA personally since they reached out to us during the New Zealand ISP blocking and I have been very impressed. We both thought that you Goats would like a little something so we're spreading a bit of love around.
Since this is Voat, I want to mention a few disclaimers:
-
Keep the picture doxx free (obviously!)
-
We reserve the right to deny your entry for any reason (expecting shitposts)
-
First come, first serve
How it will work:
If your comment (post it as a reply to this submission) is approved, we will PM you the free month trial code along with some simple instructions on how to get started. Have fun!
Edit:
Ok, we wrapped this up (mostly). Thank you to all who participated. I think you'll like the experience and I hope you enjoy using protection. ;)
Do me a favor Voat… One person got finger-shy and deleted their submission. I have saved one code for this person. PM me you shy goat you and I'll send you the code! It's waiting for you. :)

I doubt it would work with Linux without a lot of hacking. Using tor there are blackouts when the sites are under attack via captcha loops, and just out right not now denials. cloud flare redirects.

VPNs work fine on linux, most have their own install package

I have setup a VPN, and use it when I travel to access my local network, it works nice. All I see is VPN services advertised with free windows software to protect your camera and microphone. Something that comes with free windows software, doubtful they have a Linux install package, maybe directions on how to install their keys, configure your Linux box. I have seen VPN services for business that support multiple device platforms, not worth the price for my use.

NordVPN has a linux install package. It works marginally well. Also there are multiple VPN manager packages within linux.
