VPNs

[RocketDog]

I did extensive research on  VPNs three years ago even calling several to ask pointed questions. I even subscribed to two of them for a month to test.

 

I tested the hard way by using P2P to download books and waited for a scolding letter from my ISP about copyright infringement.

 

Final result was me subscribing to ExpressVPN for nearly three years now. It is $110/year and I would pay more for it if I had too. They have their own (not leased) severs all over the world manned by their own employees. They encrypt end to end and are immune to deep tunneling even. They use a rotating ID address system so up to dozens of people use the same ID every hour. Impossible to tie one person to any website or data flow.

 

For that price you can install it on three devices. I have it on my cell phone & my laptop 7~24 in Thailand. Completely avoid Thai censorship by logging on from servers in dozens of places in the world. You can even install it on your WiFi router and all devices now have VPN. Really I can't say enough good about them.

They're support is fantastic.

 

I use utorrent to download books on a continual basis for over two years now with no nasty grams from my ISP ever. If you view porno in Thailand without a solid VPN you will be very sorry. They ARE watching.

 

I simply can't endorse this product enough.

 

Cheap or free VPN providers will roll over on you in a heartbeat if the authorities contact them, will sell your data, don't own their servers so your data is not protected, have slow rates, bad connections problems, DNS leaks, and generally bad encryption.

 

EXpressVPN tells the authorities that they would quite happily turn over records to authorities but simply have no such records or any way to produce them. Pretty clever strategy actually.

 

Don't waste time, money, and legal help on cheap VPNs. Above all, do your homework well before signing up for one to protect you. Good protection costs money and resources.

 

The truth is that there are very few good services out there, and NONE of those are free or cheap. Some of them are outright scams.

Use Express as a model product to compare others to and you will quickly see the truth.

I take my privacy against intelligence gathering very seriously.

 

If you have very little use except for movies in another country then cheap ones are OK. But don't for a second think they are protecting you from anybody.

Yes but you are limited to one country in Europe i think, i use Browsec easy to switch freely between four countries, and many more paid for!

Before paving for PIA ($40/yr), I used Hide.me free subscription. Worked well, but have to resubscribe each month or as needed to get the free allotment of usage.

Use a Smart DNS. Around $50 a year but don't throttle your internet speed.
