Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Since Red Hat spoiled us with RHEL 7.2 by rebasing Gnome, but will not be again updating Gnome for 7.3, I felt I would continue that action for them.

CentOS/RHEL is a great platform to work with, but on a workstation it feels out of date. I intended to fix that. So I built Gnome 3.20 and its dependencies for that platform.

Welcome to the Gnome 3.20 repository for CentOS/RHEL 7.x.
