Librem One – A growing bundle of ethical services

The VPN isn't a hosted service? Just the client software? A few others mention they are connected to subscription systems, such as the back-up service. So it seems to be more than just repackaged software, but software + service + support (the big barrier for most OS adoption - requiring the customer to set up and configure 6 different services).

Either way, anything that gets people using more encrypted open-source software is totally okay with me.

As long as they are transparent about their stack and the authors of the software are cool with it - why not have it bundled with clean packaging and a slick donation model?

A VPN can't be a hosted service because it needs to sit on the machine you're trying to protect.

I believe you are mixing up "hosting" an OpenVPN server and having a client on your machine to connect to it (ie, their branded OpenVPN-powered client).

From the page it's clear they are also providing hosted file and email servers via subscription in addition to the branded-clients. Which is why I asked specifically about VPN hosting.
