    VPN Selection


    Completely new to VPN...

    After reading a couple articles from TechRadar i am interested in trying out a VPN.

    NordVPN looks most impressive in their balance of speed and cost, while SurfShark is quite well rated, costs less, but it would seem they do not offer the speed of NordVPN.

    Unfortunately for me, there is absolutely no way from the articles for me to have an understanding as to where i would see the hit i would take in speed using either, which has always been a big concern. Frankly, both 1) cost and 2) a hit in speed, have been the highest two reasons i have not engaged a VPN. I also suspect it is relevant that our ISP, Verizon, also provides out television and it is all over FIOS.

    Can anyone give me a practical comparison?

    If it helps, according to Ookla, my DL is 108.44Mbps and up is 106.14, which is fair as i took Verizon's 100Mbps offering-

    Thank you VERY much for sharing your knowledge and expertise!!!

    :)

    AirVPN

    In contrast to all the big names such as IPVanish, TorGuard, Hide My Ass!, PIA etc, AirVPN has been the most useful in terms of performance, cost, privacy and service.

    • No torrent (or other format) throttling
    • No region/server locking
    • Full server stats live, with reports and repair ETAs
    • Packages include complete tunneling and multiple protocols
    • Can be setup for virtually any platform(including a easy to use Windows package)[also user guides exist for bespoke arrangements, such as pfSense, which I run]
    • Their website/user portal is very thorough and flexible. You can build custom VPN configuration files
    • Cost is extremely good for what you get
    • Service is often quick and prompt
    • Forums are active
    • They tick all the privacy qualifications, no record keeping

  10. Selectively disabling VPN software for web browsers

    Selectively disabling VPN software for web browsers: To me it sounds like they would like a software switch that encrypts only certain traffic on their VPN of choice. Ahh, So ! Thanks for the clarification.
