My subrsiption with surfshark is ending soon and I was wondering if there was something better around the same price. There are a lot of ads about many VPNs but a lot of them don’t look so “safe and private” as they want you to think so it’s hard to really figure it out. I don’t want to spend too much since I don’t use them very often but I kinda like the “change catalog of netflix” thing and to be safe while doing some “”“”“”“shady”“”“”" stuff
I use private internet access. Say what you want about them, they are one of the few that have proven in court that the do not keeps logs.
I had a few different ones (Surfshark, Mullvad, Vypr), but in the end I just really liked Proton the most. It is not the cheapest, but the UI of their software is easy, I can use it on all my devices (including fire stick), it works well with streaming services like Netflix and I recently upgraded to pay 2€ more per month and now I got a cloud drive of 500GB, some mail adresses and other stuff on top. I can recommend it because for me it just works flawlessly and the speed is good.
I use Proton. May be a bit overkill for what you’re looking for if you want just a VPN - Proton includes email, a calendar, and cloud storage - all encrypted. Their VPN client supports port forwarding and split tunneling. They categorize their servers to show which are best for torrenting and/or streaming. Some of their servers also serve as end points for the TOR network.
In terms of privacy, Mullvad VPN is the one that considered the most private by the community.
A. WireGuard.
B. Cross-platform.
C. No need for Email to register.
D. Let you pay with cash.
E. Don’t have affiliated videos amd commercials.
F. Support port-forwarding.G. Had no scandals over the past decade.
Stolen from Reddit - link to archive.org - to make sure that Reddit won’t make money out of it :3
E: unfortunately F is no longer true :/
F. is no longer true. They recently removed support for this after lots of people abused the feature.
MullvadVPN is great. It’s a no-bullshit VPN.
