There's one that's $30 a year.

Is it worth it? You can hide your IP address and change your IP's location

Cactus vpn has an iPhone app. But I think it's more than that.


ETA: When using it on my MB Air it is much slower than my Cox connection alone. Was able to stream but tiled a lot and took a long time to get to pages.

I would guess any VPN is going to experience a slowdown versus your standalone IP.

I've used Private Internet Access and haven't noticed a slow down... but I haven't tried to stream videos while using it.

I've had them for well over a year and have never once noticed slowdowns

I was using a London VPN so I could stream Eurosport through Cox service in LA.

Not sure how one is supposed to bounce a signal across the globe through your local ISP and not experience any slowdown.

Maybe it was because my VPN was specific to the UK.

I would say in general it depends on where your ISP is and the VPN is physically.

Whoops, sorry, I should correct that:

I haven't noticed any slowdowns on the U.S. VPN endpoints.

Using endpoints outside of the U.S., yes, there's quite a bit of slowdown. However, as I use it as an anonymizer more than anything, I use the U.S. endpoints.
