Apr 27, 2018 SoftEther VPN means Software Ethernet and another easy to use multi-protocol open source VPN server software that can run on Windows, Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, and Solaris. You can use this VPN software for personal and commercial free of cost. SoftEther VPN also supports Microsoft SSTP VPN for Windows Vista / 7 / 8. Some SoftEther VPN Key Features.
I use Hotspot Shield (Free VPN) on the Windows. Do anyone know of a similar tool or service for Ubuntu?
that:
- Free VPN Connect for Linux. Openvpn is NOT the answer, nor is any proxy server - because the QUESTION is about free vpn 'services', not free vpn 'servers' (huge difference!), nor proxy servers (even bigger difference). The only free VPN service that works on Ubuntu is.
- Jul 22, 2019 To connect to a VPN server on Linux, OpenVPN, OpenConnect, AnyConnect, and Network Manager are all popular VPN clients. But even better is a provider that makes a plug-and-play native VPN client. They require far less configuration and tend to come.
- Would not require me to have any server.
- would hide my IP.
- Would effectively tunnel all my connections in Ubuntu.
- have free plans
please explain pros and cons of your suggestions.

How to install ItsHidden.
Alternatively you can install OpenVPN server on your home PC and use it as a gateway.
If you only need IP anonymity and don't mind of VPN you can also try TOR.

Based on their web site, Hotspot Shield is not a VPN but just a web proxy service that you connect to with HTTPS:
It should be possible to connect to it from Ubuntu too, but maybe you'll have to configure things manually (e.g. if you need SSL certificates). You might want to contact them about that.

Ubuntu provides openvpn as a package that can be used to create virtual private networks between different computers over a public network.
