Ask HN: Recommendations for a VPN provider?

10 pointschabeligian11 comments

I'm interested in setting up my connection here in the west coast of the US through a VPN. There seem to be a plethora of options--does anyone have any recommendations?

Price isn't really a concern for me. I'm concerned more with speed and reliability, as well as the usual privacy features (no logs kept, etc).

I use Private Internet Access, it works incredibly well.

Their site really needs a redesign, though.

I second PIA. Works well for me.

I use PIA and it works great. Their website design is not representative of their service at all.

I'm using torguard and must say I'm pretty happy with them. You can use your login/password for up to 5 computers, which is handy, the setup is fairly easy. I needed some advanced setup options but since they support OpenVPN everything worked great! Their support center is responsive + the guy a Greek Server which serves me well when I'm abroad.

On the security side they state that no logs are kept, security is paramount and so on. I've found this VPN provider through a torrentfreak post which was listing the top10 most secure VPN providers for 'torrent' downloading. I don't use it for downloading illegal material, but I guess most people do, hence I believe they (TorGuard) wouldn't really wanna know what their users are doing online. :-)

cheers!

Some of these services log what you are doing, but some even offer to not log anything that you do! So you are 100% hidden from the world via their servers. There are Top of VPNs, to find a decent one check out http://vpnwebsites.com/top-10-vpn-providers/.

VyprVPN from Golden Frog is an excellent choice, and their support is 24/7/365 if you have connection issues.

I'm on their trial now. Quick and their app makes it painless to get up and running.

I would highly recommend PureVPN, it's awesome, it's easy to set up and i use PureVPN to watch Netflix, Hulu, Bbc iplayer and any other blocked websites outside of US. http://www.purevpn.com/

We suggest you be your own VPN: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1221503813/protect-your...

I've been using boxpn for a couple years now. Speeds are good, service reliable, etc...
