Most Valued Members cyberhash 188 Posted March 3, 2018 Most Valued Members Share Posted March 3, 2018 Never actually felt the need to use a VPN personally. So cant really recommend any. This review gives a bit of info and shows you how many devices you can have on each service, price etc, and might narrow down a decent one for you https://www.techradar.com/vpn/best-vpn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi 19 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I highly recommend F-Secure Freedome VPN. It is fast and from a reputable company. They offer 50% special time to time. I know for sure Black Friday they offer this. Follow them on Twitter so you don't miss the deal. Stay away from Avira Phantom VPN. It is slow.

senna 3 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 It depends a bit on how experienced you are and for what reasons you want to use a VPN. Not every VPN is good. And you always have to trust a companies promise that they are not logging any of your browsing habbits. You can hide your IP (some VPNs do that better than others), and hide your browsing from your ISP but be clear that the VPN you‘re using is potentially able to record everything. So it‘s a matter of trust. Just write a few words what‘s your intention to use a VPN. I might recommend you some good sites reviewing VPNs.

Daedalus 16 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I also don't feel the need in using in using VPN but I had to choose one it would be: https://protonvpn.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senna 3 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) You also may want to have a closer look at those sites: - https://thatoneprivacysite.net/ - https://www.privacytools.io/ I think they are quite informative and tell some interesting things about privacy. In my opinion a good VPN: - should not log your traffic, IP adress, DNS requests - and should not have any contradictory logging policies - should use strong encryption - uses OpenVPN protocol - should have IP-Leak protection, DNS leak protection - offers anonymous sign-up - is still fast enough Just a few points to think about.

Anugo 1 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 There's more to a VPN than just pricing. So you must check out the specific VPN features while signing up with any of these services. I haven't experienced any issues concerning speed with my current provider (AceVPN) as of now, but I know that I must wait a little longer before I get a vivid picture.
