0 Sulphy Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I use ExpressVPN... i tried loads of other offers, before settling on ExVPN... speed is great, they dont log IP's etc... works great on all my devices. Pricing isnt too bad. there are cheaper ones out there, but i always read the fine print and reviews, especially for ip logging! xrobwx71 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1410938-what-vpn-service/#findComment-598672279 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use OpenVPN access server: https://openvpn.net/vpn-software-packages/ which is really easy to setup and is free for two remote connections, I then use the cheapest OVH VPS: https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/vps/ to install OpenVPN on to. Personally I think its better hosting your own VPN as you are in control of the other end.

0 +E.Worm Jimmy Subscriber¹ Posted August 31, 2021 Subscriber¹ Share Posted August 31, 2021 I have been using NordVPN for years. Pretty sure the price was good for the deal that I got and the speeds are fast. I only ever had to reset it once in a while otherwise I mostly forget it is even there.

0 Guest Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Just to jump on the bandwagon, is there a VPN that will actually function correctly with Netflix and the likes? I've tried a couple in the past and Netflix seems to have got quite good at detecting them. (And I've seen youtubers often use this as a selling point even when it definitely doesn't work right on a bunch of them) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1410938-what-vpn-service/#findComment-598672320 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would normally just grumble and say, "well fair play" since they (Netflix and Amazon) are just trying to follow the geolocation rules imposed on them. But I spent last month in a hotel while looking for a new apartment, so naturally I had NordVPN switched on at all times because I didn't trust the connection. I still had the country set to Switzerland, I wasn't trying to get around any geo-blocking. But every 20 minutes or so Netflix and Amazon would suddenly stop and say, "err, would you mind switching your VPN off?" It didn't matter how many times I tried switching the connection, it kept happening. I'm not quite sure how they have managed to get so good at it recently, but it's annoying...

I assume that you're referring to this? I wasn't using them then. Sounds like the issue was with a third-party server that wasn't configured correctly, and since then they have been performing security audits. The debacle seems to be in how they handled the situation when it came out, not in what actually happened. Regardless, I'm ok with it.

0 Brandon H Supervisor Posted August 31, 2021 Supervisor Share Posted August 31, 2021 when I was down in Colombia for a work trip I used ExpressVPN, it was very reliable for things like Netflix and Pandora and reasonably priced compared to many other offerings On 31/08/2021 at 05:43, cacoe said: Just to jump on the bandwagon, is there a VPN that will actually function correctly with Netflix and the likes?

Then I stumbled across ExpressVPN and it worked without hassle, you just pick your location and go.

0 PeRTeX Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I use SurfShark VPN with the code from VPN mentor and I have my account/subscription until 2023. I mostly use it for region-locked content, like Japanese anime/shows/movies that are not offered in my country's Netflix listing as well as YouTube videos only available to Japan.

0 xpablo Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Always been a Cat & Mouse game with Streaming services and VPN's. I've used : StrongVPN :long long time ago, it was okay, but their speeds were very poor at the time. HideMyAss: More like Kiss My Ass! P.I.A : Everything was okay but speeds were lacking Cyberghost: Good Speeds, only issue was the App only allows install on 5 devices, even if I never used them all at once. For GeoBlocking you had to pick a separate server for NetFlix and then switch server if you wanted to watch Prime. SurfShark: Everything was awesome at first, but now they seem to be lacking when it comes to accessing international streams. When others have fixed their workaround SS still hasn't fixed theirs.

It's about $5 a month will no account/email required and they accept numerous payment options including Bitcoin. Their software is open source, has Wireguard support, has been audited by 3rd parties, and they have a no logging policy. OP, did you search the forums before posting this? I feel this question is asked like every other week. +Raze 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1410938-what-vpn-service/#findComment-598674907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
