Decent VPN Service

superleeds27 · 12 Nov 2016 at 09:25

I'm currently using NordVPN, went for it when it was on offer around a year ago. At the time it seemed okay, but i'v started noticing really slow performance no matter what server i was on.

What VPN Companies do people here recommend? I'm looking mainly for privacy and speed.

Used Private Internet Access for over 12 months, never had an issue and plenty of exit locations with good speeds. Roughly $40 for the year.

@OP

I currently use Cryptostorm. I've also heard good things about AirVPN.

Cyberghost. Not the cheapest but excellent services and options.

You can get a year's premium Cyberghost for a little over £6 from Humble at the moment.

Was about to post the same as above, been with PIA for well over a year now and never had any issues. I used cheaper VPN's before signing up such as Cyberghost and it would drop out all the time.

I've used CyberGhost before but wasn't that impressed.

I've heard good thing about PIA and AirVPN.

Does anyone have any information on ExpressVPN? Few decent reviews popping up about that.

I've had PureVPN for about a year now. I always get full speed as they have a 'fastest server' connection option. It can be used using the normal Windows VPN, their own client or whatever. Works nicely on my phone and on FreeNAS as well.

$69 lifetime licence: https://stacksocial.com/sales/lifetime-of-purevpn, unlimited bandwidth.

Yet a couple of threads down from this one, someone claims PureVPN is restricting them access to certain sites.

I've never had an issue with it. Sounds like the OP of that thread is having other troubles rather than PureVPN being the issue.

Gone for PureVPN, the lifetime license makes sense.

Any tips for best config/speed on android and PC?

Make sure you use the fastest server address: https://www.purevpn.com/speed-test
It'll connect you to the fastest server available to you within that region.
