[ale] VPN recommendations?

[dev null zero two]

I can highly recommend PIA and Torguard wrt # of locations around the world
AND speed. I can reach the single thread limit of the OpenVPN client on my
CPU (130 Mb/s) with both services.

however, if you are going to heavily restricted countries that actively
monitor VPN endpoints, your best bet is to setup your own Shadowsocks
server as that is less detectable.
