I've been using ProXPN for a couple years now because I picked up a lifetime subscription for pretty cheap. Today when I went to connect it just flat out didn't work. I tried to check their site to see if there was some issue with the service I didn't already know about (I already know about a LOT of them since their service is pretty much garbage), and I find their "knowledge base" is erroring out and their Twitter account has been suspended. Short story long, any recommendations on a VPN?

@mike I've had a lot of luck with ProtonVPN, and my friend has had a lot of luck with ExpressVPN, I'd recommend checking those out!

@mike Always best to set up your own. Pick a VPS provider with a good track record who respects privacy and set up Pritunl(Or do it by hand if you want) there. Could be done in 30 minutes or less even.

@mike I like IVPN because they have this adblocking feature at the network level. Good to have for your mobile phones (they have apps for iOS and Android)

@mike IVPN and Mullvad are both excellent; they offer good network speeds, modern connection protocols, and seem dedicated to protecting your privacy.If you’re trying to get around geo blocking for streaming services ExpressVPN is the way to go :)

@mike Using ExpressVPN, it's quite good, I had no problem unlocking YT/Netflix videos, but back then I didn't know about Mullvad, so when it's time to renew I'll try M.

@mike I've used PIA for quite a while now, and it's been great. Also, they recently added Wireguard support.

@mike I've used AirVPN & Cryptostorm recently (with airvpn being better).I would suggest you look at https://privacytools.io/providers/vpn

@mike Both ProtonVPN and Private Internet Access are good. Especially if you like zero logs.

@thumb @mike I use Algo but not for privacy. One person using one server IP would make it pretty easy to figure out who you are.

@mike I've heard only good things about https://mullvad.net/en/ . It will probably be my next one when my current subscription end. Also considering ProtonVPN.

@mike Been using PIA for years and works quite well. Also have Windscribe now which I like quite a bit, but it doesn't have a Linux client. Both are located within the 5 eyes however.

@mike Been using ExpressVpn for a while as I was living in a country that blocked a fair bit of the internet. When they were blocked they usually managed to bust past the firewall but sometimes took a couple of days.Could always set up your own on a server somewhere. Depends a little on what you want the VPN to do.
