Only if you don't understand the technology.
It's like "free public private parking", where you get a private spot, for free,
which is open to the public, on a first come first serve basis.
Or free public key cryptography, which is all about privacy.
Or, for that matter, privacy on the public Internet.
There should be free VPN servers on the net which should work on Linux.
You can try this one: http://www.bestfreevpn.com/

Left-click on the Network Manager icon in the Ubuntu desktop panel bar:
Network Manager->VPN Connections->Configure VPN
Network Connections->Add
Choose a VPN Connection Type->OpenVPN->Create

On Friday 21 February 2014 15:01, somebody impersonating Aragorn
conveyed the following to alt.os.linux...
Please note that the poster who wrote the above is an impersonator. It
is a nymshifter who posts through aioe.org - I myself post through
eternal-september.org - and he is someone who runs off his mouth about
things of which he has no understanding in several of the newsgroups I'm
subscribed to.
His most recent posting identity before he decided to impersonate me was
"Wolf Muller", but as I stated higher up, he is a nymshifter and he has
a whole collection of fake names and fake e-mail addresses. He
primarily seems to reside on alt.os.linux.suse and alt.os.linux.ubuntu.
