Like everyone else here, I've been using ssh -D. Which is awesome especially because I have my hosts organized into my ~/.ssh/config file, so if I need a connection in the USA, I'll just type "ssh -D 4444 us".
I have a similar setup on my Android phone, by using Vx ConnectBot (http://connectbot.vx.sk/ http://connectbot.vx.sk/) plus ProxyDroid (https://github.com/madeye/proxydroid https://github.com/madeye/proxydroid).
If anyone need some of the advanced features provided by OpenVPN, I can suggest this script: https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install
I've successfully used it to install OpenVPN several times, and it's mostly effortless.
As for the VPSs, I can suggest http://lowendspirit.com/ http://lowendspirit.com/, awesome owner and can't beat the 3€/year (yes, year) price. You don't get a public dedicate ipv4, but if you need only a VPN then it's not really needed.
- jzelinskie 13y agoYou can actually specify the -D in your .ssh/config with "Dynamic Forward 1234". Now whenever you connect, it'll also open up a proxy to which you can optionally connect. Another neat trick is having a wildcard for a host to set global options, like compression. Here's a little sample of what my ~/.ssh/config looks like: https://gist.github.com/jzelinskie/10675197 https://gist.github.com/jzelinskie/10675197
