Re: vpn compatibility
Do an internet search for vpn reviews and look for one for linux.
My brother uses windscribe which runs fine on MX-17.1 and it's free. If you decide on it I can have my brother send me his link you can use which will give him and you an extra Gig.
I use a payed one Expressvpn which you will need to search here as it requires a fix to work without using systemd.
Re: vpn compatibility
I use Astrill VPN which works well on MX Linux. It's a G.U.I. VPN.

I too use PIA-VPN. It is great. Fantastic client GUI, easy to use & very reliable. Price is pretty good too. I prefer PIA to Air, after having used Air for some years in the past.

Re: vpn compatibility
I daily VPN to my work servers via openvpn works great, no issues at all :-)
Re: vpn compatibility
I have it configured in Network Manager, and have been using it for over a year. I will have to check out the GUI. There is also a browser extension for Google Chrome.
EDIT: The GUI is a lot easier to set it up than in Network Manager., and a very nice notification icon showing when connected. When I signed up a year ago the GUI was not available. Looking at the change log, they update it quite regularly squashing bugs and adding features.

Re: vpn compatibility
@richb, I've mentioned it before... The PIA GUI won't install in Artix, as Artix does not use the standard Arch repos (though it does use Arch repos too). This is the problem that caused me to leave the "Arch" world & find another great distro that doesn't use systemd.
I could run PIA without the GUI in Artix. But to get all of the functions that the GUI provided was far more effort than I wanted to put in. I never thought that I could possibly trade pacman in, but there you go.
So here I've been for ~7 months or so now. :)

Re: vpn compatibility
I have been using NordVPN for a while now. I use the Network Manager and their config (.ovpn) files. It seems to be working fine here on MX18. Unfortunately they don't have a gui for Linux. There are browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox.
