I'm an old woman whose only access to the internet is through HughesNet. The only reason that I would be interested in a VPN is to acquire an ISP location outside of the United States so I can watch foreign free TV of sporting events that are not carried in the US. I bought a year of Hide My Ass before I signed up for HughesNet, but HughesNet doesn't work with that sort of VPN. However, HughesNet does say that their service would probably work better with the SSL VPN.
So I'm looking into SSL VPNs and found y'all.
So a few questions:
1) Have SSL VPNs been at all affected by Heartbleed?
2) Has anyone here experience with trying to use SSL VPNs, in particular Open VPN, with Hughes Net and was it of sufficient speed to allow streaming video?
3) Would Open VPN be able to provide a foreign location for my computer?
4) I'm using Windows XP Pro, SP3 for my only computer. If the second question is or can be answered "yes", how complicated and expensive would it be to set up a single user VPN that might be used very sporadically when the sporting events I'm interested in occur around the globe? Is special hardware required?
Please help with this.

To answer your questions, you should check their website for yourself. Since I'm sure nobody is in an exact situation as yourself, it would be just to do research before asking these questions. If you need help try to post questions with details.
