Hello fellow Soylentils:

Colour me a nice Soylent Green Canadian who up until recently has only worried somewhat about security.
I use linux (mostly Ubuntu) and in the past had time to worry and work at config files and do google searches to end my problems.
Today i have far less time to do these things: my question is, can anyone (practically) hand me a good, easy and hopefully cheap (extra kudos to those who help me with free options that work) VPN solution.

Canada seems to be heading in the direction of teh United States and I am beginning to worry that my internets is being taken from me.
Can anyone come up with a solution to keep my internetting private and my downloads from being pried into? (I've heard VPN is the way to go, but searching for solutions leaves me wondering if I'm getting scammed in the process.)

Must be linux friendly.

Thanks ahead for the help.
