Which product is the best for VPN?
-
A lot of conflicting views on the matter. Some say it is slow others say itās great. Maybe it just comes down to personal preference.
I expect that this depends on where you are in the world, and which node you connect to. Again, as you say, itās going to be aligned to personal experience. One manās junk is another manās gold.

Wasā¦ but it seems to have gone up overall by Ā£4-5 through the year.

@phenomlab Yep. I think I noted above that that deal was only thru 9/20. New ādealā though:
Just not quite THE deal.
fwiw; I am becoming less than keen on them. Only minimal testing as of yet as I have been busy w/other things. Maybe okay for general browsing but kind of sucky on streaming and/or multiple tabs/containers. At least on desktop FF browser app. Also, I have yet to grok where one can choose various protocols, e.g. wireguard. Maybe easily resolved by a reach out to support but ā¦ busy with other stuff as of late so take the above with a dose of salt. Gotta run
Opinionated two bit opinions are my own. Caveat emptor, eh?

For what itās worth Iāve just signed up for 2 years. Interestingly I wonder if I do indeed appear to have a different IP? Can you confirm this Mark?

@jac Thatās correct. Youāre sitting behind their proxy services which is how all VPN providers work.
Fully expected
-
@gotwf Yes, in my testing (Iām a little late posting here - sorry) I found that the speed was staggeringly decreased when using the proxy services. For example, I have 380mbps internet at home, and when connected to the VPN, I was only getting around one third of that.
I guess this is in line with @gotwf findings. For browsing in general itās probably fine, but for streaming is probably a different story altogether.

@phenomlab said in Best VPN:
@jac What speed reading did you get ?
17.02 (download) mbps from local server.
Connected to a multi hop server (french/Swedish) and that came out as 39.71mbps.
-
@jac interesting. How does this compare to your actual line speed ?
-
-
@phenomlab said in Best VPN:
@jac try speedtest.net
Current speed 55.9 mate.
However Iām connected to a multi hop server which is Australia > USA and thatās showing 53.41mbps.

The above is line speed without VPN mate.
