Oh, Pardon me, you are right. They don't mention that on their home page so it seems you can blindly trust them ...
But maybe it'd be helpful for you to look up "Lavamail".
Thank you for your information.
EVERY usa company is bound by usa "law" which basically comes down to some gentlemen knocking and demanding something and prohibiting that you ever even talk about it.
So, using a usa based (company or server, no matter) VPN for, say, watching youtube is OK, but if you have ANY concern whatsoever for privacy, any usa based VPN is nonsensical and you might as well send your data directly to nsa, fbi, etc.
Same story in all 5eyes countries and in their colonies and vassal states (e.g. Germany, Sweden, etc.)
I got their recent minimal cheap annual price plan and it suddenly stopped working. I had configure it again in tunnelblick but this is not what you expect from a VPN providers. I've PIA and other self hosted VPN instance and they have been working flawlessly since 1.5+ years.
This! I've 3 self-hosted OpenVPN instances and 1 from PIA and one from vpn.sh. My self-hosted almost always beats the others in speed and are almost free in comparison.
That is weird. @Nyr 's OpenVPN script does not work. Whenever I connect to my VPS via VPN I can't access any websites. I tried using KVM-based VPS and even OpenVZ regardless of what operating system that I use. I even used the other DNS providers suggested by that script.
I was about to purchase an account through them, plus I am interested with their streaming VPN and dedicated IP. It is $4.99 per add-on. Expensive and over-pricing.
I've used that script with at least 7 different providers and never had an issue with Debian as the OS.
@AdventureTime it does work.
@AdventureTime Check Nyr's original thread. There were some people who had problems with specific OpenVPN clients, when they weren't running as administrator.
Try a different OpenVPN client or re-read that thread, there are some suggestions there. I've never had the problem you're talking about with Viscosity (VPN client) on my Mac.
The problem that I am talking about is regarding Nyr's script. I use tunnelblick as the VPN client. I have checked the settings of the server. The IPv4 forward is turned on as well as the MASQUERADE thing.
@Devil, please drop me a PM and I'll look into the issue you've had. Could quite likely be when we updated our OpenVPN files (an email was sent regarding this) which has resulted in the issues you've seen.
@AdventureTime each commit to the script is roughly tested on many different setups and distros. It does work and there isn't any known bug at the moment.
Most support requests always come from users setting up a firewall and blocking themselves, I spent countless hours debugging "not connectable" tickets and they were nearly always the same problems where the script hasn't anything to do.
If you still think the script is at fail, PLEASE send me root details of a CLEAN Debian, Ubuntu or CentOS setup at your preferred provider. I will make sure to test the script there, report back to you and fix any bug if the script is the problem, I am very interested in making it accessible and bulletproof for everyone.

Some reference for you:
HMA VPN user arrested after IP handed over to the FBI
Thanks for offering help. I actually asked you at GitHub but you said you don't offer support or something. I was about to give you an access to my server too.
Just a quick question. Why are you guys concerned with FBI or NSA stuff?
No, I did say something sightly different:
I can't make this work with your custom firewall, and honestly you weren't very helpful either: https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install/issues/33
Just mentioned them in the other VPN thread : CactusVPN are decent and worth a shot.
@Nyr said:
Yeah, how can you be helpful with this kind of message from you?
And yeah, normally I don't have any custom firewalls installed. After the OS installation, I install the script. I have accounts with Vultr, Ramnode, DigitalOcean, Crissic and OVH but you said the script worked. I've tried all VPS hosts and your script does not work which is weird because when you used the DigitalOcean droplet it worked. You only used the Debian installation though. I gave you another droplet which is CentOS-based.
Thank's for your information
I would recommend http://vpn.ccrypto.org/
I've never used it, but reading FAQ you can understand that guys are surely know what are they doing. It's open-source, too!
Try Astrill? Many countries...
Everytime China "ban" it, it will revive shortly. We Chinese have good review of them.``
Honestly I am using a reliable VPN service provider http://www.vpnfaqs.com/2015/04/choose-right-vpn-provider/. It is perfect service with extreme speed, no ads, high anonymity and complete privacy for all online movements. I highly recommend it for everyone interested in VPNs.
Try Astrill, their service is good.
I didn't see this message at the time.

I left the certificate on /root so you could check for yourself.
I asked you to stop making me lose time because that's just what you were doing: insistently assuring me the script wasn't working and opening issues on GitHub when the problem was just that you don't understand how to use a firewall.
Aditionally, some of the thousands of users of the script could assure you that it does in fact work on RamNode too, if you don't trust my word.

Seeing this, I have to mention that I'm getting comment spam from Pakistan and VPN IP's to my blog for that site and that makes it a no-no in my eyes.
@MSPNick define cheap? VPNArea's yearly package comes down to 4.92$ a month, with a coupon even less. There are servers in 51 countries to choose from and plenty of users from the above mentioned providers have left them for us. PM me for a coupon in case you need one
Zenmate.com
Are you looking for Personal use or business purpose ?
Actually I am totally satisfied with WaselPro VPN service provider. I have been using it for 2 years without any problems. High anonymity, stable connection, high speed and total security. Here you can find how to select the best VPN service for you http://www.vpnanswers.com/choose-best-vpn-service-2015/
Again, all of this VPN provider comparsion sites are BIASED and should never be trusted.
Case in point - Link goes to 'bestvpnfor.net' which lists top providers only becasue they pay affiliate (and they are funny enough sorted by their payout amount, making it even more clear).
any top 10 site cannot be trusted imo.
