Free (or very cheap) OpenVPN services with multiple US locations

[krick]

UDP. I always use UDP w/ OpenVPN, regardless of the provider, unless it gives me problems.

I'm having some trouble getting FastestVPN working. It's not connecting. The setup instructions on their site don't match the ASUS Merlin fork build that I'm using. Do you see anything obviously wrong? I'm trying to set it up to work with MLB TV on my Roku TV. Right now I have "Redirect Internet Traffic" set to "All" but I assume I'll need to set it up to route the IP of my TV to MLB (whatever IP that is).

Never heard of FastestVPN. However, I'm successfully using NordVPN running in the router and watching every MLB game I want (except for nationally televised games, of course) using MLB.TV running on my Raspberry Pi under OSMC (Kodi).

I just figured it out. I was trying to use their US-Dallas location and apparently that's no longer valid because it's not in this list...

When I switched it to phoenix, it worked perfectly.

there are some scripts that extract the password like https://github.com/HiMyNameIsIlNano/vpnbook/blob/master/password_extractor

Someone have this working after vpnbook have modified their image?

I use ProtonVPN as a free backup to my paid VPN provider. I route a couple fo devices through both VPNs.

What's the purpose of running a backup VPN? I'm currently using PIA VPN and i don't believe I would need a backup to it...just curious?

Edit: just tested its working!!!!

I am glad my work could be of any help!

It should be working. If it does not please contact me via github (I am the author of the script) and I will have it fixed, but I have tested this myself a few minutes ago and it works.

Since it (ProtonVPN) was free, I figured if there were ever any technical issues with PIA it wouldn't hurt to have another setup already to go with the flick of a switch. I ultimately decided to route some traffic (torrents) through one VPN (PIA) and all other traffic through Proton thinking that splitting it up may increase performance due to bandwidth limitations.

That was not the fix, rather the bug. I managed to fix the issue and push it to master so feel free to use the new and corrected version.

@octopus: Thanks for your help.
