Best VPN
Posted on 3/16/22 at 7:16 pm

I’ve been using PIA for several years and was just wondering if there is something better. My renewal is coming up in a few days.

Protonvpn or Mulvad are really the only two ones you can trust.

I have ProtonVPN, love it so far, very fast. Had Nord for a few years on a promo, no complaints.

Use Express, but mainly to change location.

Former ExpressVPN user.
I currently use Surfshark. It's simple to use, and I always stay connected. Plus, I don't notice any speed lag issues like I did with ExpressVPN.

None. You don't need a VPN. It doesn't make you more secure.

+1 for surfshark. Easy to use.

Mullvad. I was a PIA customer for many years until they were bought by a shady ad company a couple years ago.

What kind of speed hit is good? 10%, 25%? What is fastest VPN? As I understand it, all VPNs will have an impact on internet speed, but have no idea what is an "acceptable" hit.

Acceptable is subjective

Agree. Just trying to get a sense of what one could expect from a fast VPN.

I use Surfshark. Hopefully, this should give you a better understanding. I pay for 150 down and 50 up.

Thanks. That's helpful. Ive used PIA and it's been 1/2 or more of my speed reduced.

This was my experience also. Plus, Surfshark is considerably cheaper.

From what I see in this thread, it seems like of the good VPN providers there isn't a bad one. But the bad ones are really bad. I have only ever used Nord and I'm happy with it. If you connect anywhere outside the US you will see a performance hit but if I connect to Dallas or Wichita I'm maxed at my subscribed DL speed of 300mbps. I like the options they offer such as double VPN, many different countries, onion routing to name a few. They offer some malicious site protection and a password manager included but I don't use them.
Those other services may offer them as well but I've never used them. Just thought I'd add my personal anecdote.
