Hello, all
I’m sorry if there is an FAQ somewhere. My VPN is about enter it’s yearly billing cycle and I thought I would come over here and see if anyone had a better suggestion. I’ve been using IPvanish for the last 10 years and have been pretty satisfied. I picked it by going into the darkweb and seeing what the criminals recommended to each other.
If anyone has other suggestions or tales before I renew, I would love to check it out.
Proton or mulvad
https://nym.com/ is great.
Njalla, hands down.
Co-founded by Peter Sunde of The Pirate Bay fame. Run by a great little crew that cares about privacy. They do VPN, domains, and hosting.
Wireguard and OpenVPN. Your external IP periodically rotates through the pool, but at least all ports are forwarded.
Too bad almost nobody knows about them. They even have a Wiki page, ffs!
airvpn seemed nice but i havent tried it.
Windscribe or Mullvad. I personally use Windscribe and it has some really good features and so far they have a really good reputation in privacy circles.
mullvad but you cant seed while torrenting with it due to no port forwarding
Top 3 for me are IVPN, Proton VPN and Mullvad.
I personally use Proton VPN because it has lot’s of servers to choose from.
I suggest using https://www.techlore.tech/vpn to compare VPNs and see which one has the features you want.
Hi just wanted to share these 2 links, since others have already answered your question:
Links should help you decide what to use for other apps as well.
I personally use Mullvad since I don’t need port fowarding, but it does come with full IPv6 support.
Airvpn is perfect for my needs (torrenting)
Don’t know if Tor proxy front ends like Orbot or Carburetor count as a VPNs. If so, I highly recommend them.
Tailscale Mullvad combo
Mullvad apparently no longer supports port forwarding. This better in tailscale?
Firefox VPN is cheaper isn’t it, and funds the Firefox nonprofit?
I recently started using WireGuard hosted on elest.io platform It works realy well, we are a 4 people company full time using it and i pay around $15usd a month with a dedicated ip It’s self hosting made easy https://elest.io/open-source/wg-easy

Refer this page for better understanding about vpns and to know about good providers in market.
Windscribe is also good which is the same company own controld.
I enjoyed mozilla vpn until a few months ago - seemed like every site in the world had their ips blocked; ended up rolling my own on a cheap vps.
How does the price of a vps compare to any other vpn. Surely this isnt as private?
I purchased a lowend vps for $15 USD a year. Correct, it is not as private - due to the singular ip; however, for my needs it works quite well.
Would you be willing to share which one can be had for that cheap?
Sure! https://softshellweb.com/shared-hosting looks like it’s $20 USD a year without a promotion/coupon. I bought a holiday special if memory serves me correct.
Not one surfshark mention…
