A bit off-topic for the Orca list, but I'll bite. :)
Recommending VPNs is a bit challenging because people use VPNs for different things, and the term is kind of overloaded. Do you want a VPN in a certain city so you'll get cheaper flights? Do you want a VPN to make ISP traffic more private? Do you just want to connect different devices regardless of what networks they're on? It sounds like you may want that one, so I'll answer *that* recommendation, but the solution I'm mentioning won't particularly improve privacy or bounce traffic from a different location.
If you just want to connect up and route your devices, check out
ZeroTier (https://zerotier.com). You can create different networks
with a chunk of 10.0.0.0/8 address space. Any devices added to the
network can then communicate regardless of how they'er connected
to the internet. Note that this does nothing more than ensure
connectivity, so it's up to you to for instance run a DHCP server
for address assignment, assign addresses manually, etc. There's a
Linux CLI client, and I'm pretty sure there are clients for most
OSs on your list. There's definitely an Android client, but I
couldn't get it to resume connections automatically on phone boot,
so there's that minor issue.
Anyhow, to make this Orca-related, I used their CLI and web interfaces under Linux. The web interface requires a bit of manual pointer routing and click simulation, but it is usable for at least approving systems that try joining networks from Linux or Android. Haven't done much more than that, but then again I haven't needed to.
Another option is to rent a VPS somewhere and set up Wireguard. Entirely command-line-based, with Linux support and an Android client, and other OSs in the works. I've administered OpenVPN before, and Wireguard was a comparative fresh breath of air.
Good luck.

Hello there, so I'm running Debian 9, with mate, and aside from maybe open VPN, I'm kind of looking for a solution that is plug and play, or at least doesn't require a ton of manual intervention, but something that will not only work on my Android devices, but Linux, iOS, and windows, primarily though, Android and Linux, but iOS, Windows, Fire TV sticks Etc would be a plus, since I also have those devices on my network. I have tried Express VPN, but didn't get too far with that's on the Linux side, I had some issues when setting it up on a Fire TV stick, Android Works flawlessly, so we're good there. Another solution that I've heard about is private internet access, the last time I tried the Linux client, it was totally inaccessible! So that kind of put that one out to pasture so to speak, anybody else have any other recommendations? I was looking at McAfee safe connect, but I don't think they support Linux, and aVera's, Phantom VPN, but again I don't think they'd support Linux either. I was also looking at winscribe, I think that's just command line Bass, the Android app leaves a little bit to desire though. Just interested in everybody's opinion. Thanks a bunch! |
