Hello,
HMA VPN enables you to encrypt your Internet connection and make it anonymous. There are no special systems requirements that you need to worry about as this service works fine on any normal computer.
There are following methods by which you can install this service on Linux. Follow these links to find information, instructions and downloads related to the installation.
VPN on Linux via OpenVPN protocol.
This application executes VPN procedure for the creation of point-to-point connections. It makes the use of SSL/TLS for the key swapping.
VPN on Linux via PPTP protocol.
PPTP protocol is a technique for the implementation of Virtual Private Networks, however its implementation is not recommended by Microsoft nowadays.
VPN on Linux via L2TP protocol.
Layer 2 tunneling protocol is used for the same process as above. It depends on encryption protocol to exhibit privacy.
I hope this answers your questions.
