[NFBCS] Accessible VPN Software

[Littlefield, Tyler]

Can you explain what you're hoping for with a VPN service? It just 
changes your origin of connection, nothing else. If a "hacker" is going 
to take over your system, they'll likely do it through a webpage, which 
a VPN will not help with.

If you do want a VPN, I've had great luck with private internet access. 
They just use OpenVPN which is accessible.

Just remember that a VPN controls your outbound connections, not access 
to your computer.

Alternatively, if your accounts were compromised, consider a good 
password manager with lengthy passwords, and make your recovery account 
an email address that no one else knows, which you only use for recovery.

HTH,
