Which product is the best for VPN?

@phenomlab Thx. I could live w/the speed situation. The random disconnects are a bit more disconcerting. Maybe I’ll standby for another day or two, pending @JAC reports.
I’ve been using it for a few weeks now. It’s my first VPN so I didn’t really know what to expect, but I must say I’ve not had it disconnect but I have had it a few times where I’ve had to connect to a different server as it’s been too slow etc for what I need.
I’m not looking for a refund and will keep Surfshark for my family for general browsing probably but I am on the lookout for a different VPN that is able to cope with streaming better.

@jac Thanks. Good update. This is why I chose to stick with NordVPN

How has Nord been mate?
I know you don’t do streaming but generally how has it been?

If it comes to it I can always change to Nord.

Although I’ll have to try get my money back under the 30 day money back guarantee and then pick the right one this time.

Tempted to make the switch, maybe keep both.

@jac The mobile experience was recently updated and is rock solid.

@jac That’s not expensive in my view.

Seems a lot more expensive. I’m going to wait a few days and weigh up the options / hope there’s a slightly better deal that crops up
.I’ll have to try get my money back with SurfShark first, either that or use both for now and compare and then see which is better.

Compared to Surf shark it is, although maybe you get what you pay for I’m not sure.

@jac Cheap often reflects quality my friend…

Of course mate I agree, although this was driven down with a 2 year membership.

@jac True, but it’s worth it.

Side edit - I’m switching this to a standard topic as it’s become much more (thanks to all participants) of an in-depth discussion than a simple question

@jac Interestingly… Surfshark makes their #3 slot. And yeah, streaming seems to be one of Surfshark’s weak spots on my end as well. For e.g. Youtube vids will be playing fine and then buffer briefly.
Another irritation w/Surfshark is that while they support various protocols, I did not find any way to easily choose which I preferred to be using in a given app. FF browser plugin for e.g. I guess it is using OpenVPN? I’d like to try/test it w/wireguard, w/o having to reach out to support and/or spend an hour surfing their tech support articles.
Price is definitely a factor but not at the cost of poor quality. Think I shall dump 'em and go back to living dangerously. Maybe just toss up a vm at my cloud provider and IKEv2 through there as necessary? Yeah, I know, FBI can still p’wn all my bases but at least maybe something w.r.t. the site trackers and such? Just got to watch the bandwidth… wh/come to think this thru further, probably makes it a non starter.
Edit: Hmm… that is odd… I thought I was replying to @phenomlab tech radar link. Freakin’ brain dead today…
