![]() All of that easily put KeepSolid's installation process on par with the leaders in that side of things, like TorGuard VPN (for Linux), with only the cumbersome device management aspect marring what is otherwise an absolute dream to use. For those not wanting to install the app, there is a nice configuration generator on the website that takes the device, desired server, and protocol, and spits out a valid configuration file that can be imported into the Linux Network Manager. It's just a matter of picking the fastest server, clicking connect, and you're off to the races. Once installed, using the application is simple. I definitely had to ding KeepSolid a bit for this part of its otherwise nicely designed setup process. While useful to someone wanting to track VPN usage by device, this whole process really isn't appropriate on a consumer-level product. If you add something by mistake, expect to put in a support ticket, because there's no other way to get rid of it. Worse, you can only change or remove those devices once a week. I found it annoying that any devices I wanted to connect had to be named prior to connecting. While basic setup is easy, KeepSolid dropped the ball when it comes to device management.

For all those reasons, while KeepSolid VPN Unlimited is a good choice for those who want to stick to a single device, it remains behind NordVPN (for Linux) and Private Internet Access VPN (for Linux), our Editors' Choice winners in the Linux VPN category. But while its overall performance is certainly good, it falls behind that same competition when it comes to device management, ease of torrenting, and even some aspects of performance. For that, you get an as-the-name-implies solid virtual private network (VPN) service that steps a little ahead of its Linux VPN competition when it comes to making installation easy. KeepSolid VPN Unlimited begins at $9.99 per month when billed on a monthly basis.
