I use NordVPN on my Chromebooks and android devices. No issues at all. And caught it on sale too. I tried Express and had issues downloading, it was too much to try and figure out the issue. Nord worked right away with little-to -no configuration.

thanks

that's all I'm really looking for

want to see how people REALLY using it like it

so for Pia and Express have gotten good reviews

 

[Jay Ringo]

I use windscribe , lifetime sub. No issues.

 

[rebel]

i use PIA i like the killswitch and the domain filtering features. do you have a router that would allow you to define a vpn so you can have a sitetosite vpn tunnel instead of needing vpn client on each one of your devices?

 

[Adam Knows]

NordVPN is the one to use. i use them myself.

 

[MCP]

Watch this before you choose

 

[knightmelodic]

Express VPN is the truth.

Possibly more expensive than others but the customer service is great. I don't remember the other services (I tried the trial versions before I chose Express) as far as location but you can choose servers all over the world. Auto-shutdown if you get disconnected so your ISP doesn't jump in. Other cool features. Worth every penny IMO.

I too use Express VPN. No complaints and fast as hell.

 

[blackpepper]

I use a pretty cheap service called BulletVPN. They keeps no logs, have been audited, and as the name implies it is pretty fast. The configuration is a little more wonky than the other paid service I tried, but for the price I'm cool.

Oh, it's a Streaming Media Player. I don't even know about those things but if you're going online to play, then yeah a VPN is essential. Set up your location in Sweden or some shit..

PIA

 

[knightmelodic]

I forgot to add, ExpressVPN doesn't store or kickback your information like IIRC all the others do. That was a big reason I chose it. Plus the encryption is military-grade.

 

[Flawless]

pia or protonvpn

Yo express getting a lot of love...

No worries fam

I don;t know sh*t I;m learning as I go.

I did not even KNOW yo COULD do that sh*t!!!!

It's the best one. I've tried proton, nord, pia, and a bunch of others. Express costs more but you get more also. These other budget vpn's being mentioned in this thread ain't fucking with it. I've literally tried a dozen or more over the years and always came back to express.

I don't think you'll be disappointed but by all means, try the others. I think my plan has 3 or 4 devices so I have it on my cell, tablet, and lappy. No prying eyes on public networks. It also integrated seamlessly into my home network. And as I mentioned, that shutdown feature if no network is detected is major.

 

[knightmelodic]

Yeap. Let's say - hypothetically of course - that you want to d/l a file for free and then the host wants you to wait 24 hours or whatever, just switch your location and you have a brand new IP. You don't even have to switch locations, just turn off VPN and turn on again. Some content you want to *acquire* from countries without laws e.g., Spain, Poland, Switzerland.

I use NordVPN on my Chromebooks and android devices. No issues at all. And caught it on sale too. I tried Express and had issues downloading, it was too much to try and figure out the issue. Nord worked right away with little-to -no configuration.

There is a sale going on now i think I'm hopping on.

Like 3 years for 125.

 

[durham]

Express is the most stable (and most expensive), but if you have a gigabit connection at home Nord is twice as fast since they now have wireguard (max 500Mb). OpenVpn maxes out out at 250Mb.

 

[tical]

Dumped PIA for ExpressVPN and couldn't be happier.

 

[STAR-69]

I also use ExpressVPN, and I have no issues
