Some time ago I've ever introduced a free VPN access ItsHidden.com, but works according to the last comment, it just does not match the service. Lack of access I can not verify the present, but also with UltraVPN there is a free replacement to ItsHidden.com. The service relies on donations as well as free software, and claims to pursue any commercial interests.

Disclaimer: Please note that the operators view of the unencrypted VPN traffic can. It is not clear who was behind UltraVPN and why the service is offered free of charge. In the forum of UltraVPN Gulli and there has been related discussions. I would not stir up panic or distrust. The service is certainly something to a geo-IP filter bypass, but I personally would not send confidential information about UltraVPN.

[UPDATE 16.12.2010: Apparently UltraVPN has adjusted its service. One can no longer connect to the servers and UltraVPN UltraVPN forum accumulate the evidence that the operation was stopped. This guide can therefore be safely ignored.]

You should have a Windows machine available, install the Windows client and then copies the files Client.ovpnAnd Ca.crtFrom the directory C : \ WINDOWS \ UltraVPN \ configOn your Linux system.

Alternatively, you can also install the Windows program using Wine and / or if you should give me confidence, ultravpn_certs.tar.gz this archive and unpack it. In order not to lose track of which I've renamed client.ovpn ultravpn.ovpn, I hope that I pins therefore no confusion.

Troubleshooting

Network connection caused timeout

I came across the problem that the network manager with OpenVPN can not handle multiple VPN gateways. In the. OPVN file are stored multiple gateways, which selects the OpenVPN connection at random or even skips when an online gateway. NM grabs but only the last gateway “servers443.ultravpn.net” from this list and disregards the rest

And apparently just do not want this gateway so right. I'm always at this gateway the message …

Failed VPN connection
