Can I change my location with OpenVPN?












0















I have setup an OpenVPN client and when I want to activate the vpn I type openvpn client.ovpn in my terminal. So far so good.



Is there some way to make it seem like I am browsing from another country?
I have found some vpnmclients online,ready to do what I want, but they are only for buying. So is there a way to do it for free with OpenVPN or some other vpn client?

          There are free VPN-Plans out there. A few providers allow free users to use their vpn services like (i didn't try them myself):




          • ProtonVPN https://protonvpn.com/pricing

          • FreeVPN https://freevpn.me/accounts/


          also u might want to have a look at the list at
          PrivacytoolsIO: https://www.privacytools.io/#vpn



          When a vpn connection is established u might want to do a dns leaktest at https://dnsleaktest.com/



          If you want to browse most anonymous as possible you should use the tor-browser bundle from the torproject website https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en
