[liberationtech] TomatoVPN

[Katy P]

This is in a location where there is a high level of surveillance.
I know that VPNs aren't perfect, but I have a need for speed as well.
(Child needs his Netflix.)

I want a router-based solution rather than having to set up VPN on all my
devices in the home.

I will have a VPN when I'm out and about.

I've read about TomatoVPN. I routinely put alternative firmware on my
routers, but have never set up a VPN like this before.

Thanks!
