Re: Which VPN
I use VyprVPN. Fast and not too expensive.

Re: Which VPN
I'm not a 'heavy vpn user' but I have found PIA (Private Internet Access) to be very solid when needed.
For quick 'casual usage' I sometimes use the free vpn that comes with Opera browser.
Re: Which VPN
I have used PIA on several machines in the US and all over Europe and Africa. Very dependable, fast and works well with Linux.
Re: Which VPN
I use PIA, and a couple of my friends have started using it, too. Now and then I do come across a website that I have to turn the VPN off to access, but other than that, quite happy with it. (Their interface has a spot to report blocked sites.) PIA does not keep any records of what you do, and that has been verified by them not having anything to turn over when they were subpoenaed. Also, PIA is a Mint sponsor.

Re: Which VPN
3 key factors :-
1] geographic location ( and the relevant jurisdiction )
2] logging policy
3] leaks
In recent times , various previously " well-respected " VPN services have publicly soiled themselves ,
by turning over logs under legal pressure .
Logs that they claimed in their publicity to have never made or stored !
I'm reluctant to make recommendations , but PIA have not put a foot wrong , so far .
Pricing is very reasonable but I don't know if they have a free trial ( which is often useful for leak-testing ) .
There is always the option to " roll your own " VPN service of course ...... plenty of how-to info is out there on the Sprawl .

Re: Which VPN
I have a paid subscription to ExpressVPN. I have it setup on my Synology router so that all my devices that connect via wired or wifi are able to connect via VPN. This includes my TV, printers, computers and iOS devices. Been using this setup for almost a year now and I'm very pleased.

Re: Which VPN
I use ExpressVPN and it is proving to be a great choice and the best service.
Re: Which VPN
I would recommend you to go with PureVPN. I have been using it on different os and devices from IOS to Linux, and it works great so far. Also, it does have 256-bit encryption, so it's more secure than other VPN Services. You can also test it by getting its 3 days VPN Trial, to make sure if its a good fit for you!
