Set up a VPN

Problem
You want to use a VPN.

Solution
VPNBOOK provides free VPN accounts. In this YouTube video it is explained in detail how to set up a VPN connection under Ubuntu using VPNBOOK. I tried it under Manjaro too, the process is exactly the same.

The VPN connection worked well when I tried it and I could listen to Pandora Radio, which bans everyone outside of the US.

Links
What Is My IP Address is a great tool to verify if VPN was activated or not. It will also tell you the location of the VPN endpoint.

If you are willing to pay for your VPN, Proton VPN can be a good choice.
