I like mine (cryptoseal.com) obviously, but I don&#x27;t think there&#x27;s a single best VPN for all uses right now. It really depends on how you want to use it:<p>1) Travel? Travel to China? -- then worry about what VPNs are blocked<p>2) Need strong anonymity against the US government? You&#x27;re probably out of luck, but Tor might be a good technology to use for now. Really, you want something which is message-based, not streams, and can have mix-net style latency, not onion routing. Other than email (mixmaster&#x2F;mixminion, both too small in deployment to be safe, now), you&#x27;re out of luck. Stay tuned, though. (You also probably need more than just the network -- incognito mode, some kind of filtering proxy, etc.)<p>3) QoS&#x2F;etc. evasion on e.g. Comcast for torrenting? I&#x27;d probably go with the torrentfreak recommendations. (<a href="http://torrentfreak.com/vpn-services-that-take-your-anonymity-seriously-2013-edition-130302/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;torrentfreak.com&#x2F;vpn-services-that-take-your-anonymit...</a>) Generally I think a seedbox is a <i>far</i> better solution for torrenting than a VPN, though.<p>4) Great Mac support? That is GetCloak&#x27;s focus.<p>5) Mobile? The PPTP&#x2F;L2TP stuff built in is the best, although the security is weaker than SSL or IPsec VPNs.<p>6) Price? AnchorFree is free. The others range from (generally) $3-20&#x2F;mo&#x2F;user.<p>7) Need to tie in with your existing on-premises networks, AWS VPC, or support multiple clients, or do DLP, etc? That&#x27;s what cryptoseal&#x27;s business product tries to do, or you could use a conventional on-premises vpn hardware appliance from Juniper, Cisco, etc.<p>8) etc.<p>There isn&#x27;t one best choice.

VPS on Hetzner + OpenVPN with HMAC firewall.<p>I think if you are using generic webhosting instead of pure VPN, then your traffic is less likely to be monitored&#x2F;recorded in association to your credit card number.

It&#x27;s also quite cheap $40&#x2F;year.<p>Had multiple issues including poor bandwidth with a prior VPN whose name i forgot.

Hey guys,<p>I&#x27;m a Dutch national who had the same question a couple of months ago. Our country has net neutrality by law so has less trouble with government surveillance etc.<p>Since there were no good VPN&#x27;s hosted by a Dutch company I started one as a pet project, with free accounts and paid ones. The free ones are equal to the paid ones. The idea of the project was just to give me and my friends protection when downloading or traveling.<p>By no means am I trying to spam promote here, but it&#x27;s free and awesome. Truly believe that it would be useful for you. You can find it here: <a href="https://bluevpn.co/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bluevpn.co&#x2F;</a><p>There is indeed no best choice, but unless you are going full metal jacket wit Tor this will work perfectly and on all devices.

I&#x27;ll add <a href="http://airvpn.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;airvpn.org</a> into the mix.<p>I&#x27;ve had no speed issues, they have lots of locations, accept bitcoin, no logging and their owners are quite frequently on the use forums.<p>I think they&#x27;re based out of Italy.

I would suggest you avoid any US and UK providers. Surveillance cooperations like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UKUSA_Agreement" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;UKUSA_Agreement</a> are red flags.

With the degree to which the US government threatens, coerces, or infiltrates tech businesses, I don&#x27;t have any real trust for any VPN service, whatsoever. I pay for one (proxpn - it was the only one that didn&#x27;t seem completely shady at the time) and use it, but I certainly don&#x27;t trust it.<p>Additionally, finding one is the first part. Being able to pay for it, is another, apparently. (I was paid up for awhile ahead of time with my service before the credit card companies stated they&#x27;d no longer process transactions paid to VPN services outside the US).

Depending on what you want for VPN. And what is Best for you. All i cared is Pricing. And I use VPN is go pass firewall.<p>I use VPN.sh<p>And they have a new plan where it is a Pay as You go package. No Monthly fees, you buy a block of 100GB and use it for as long as you want. Top it up when you finish with it. For Light browsing usage this is the cheapest I find.<p>Not to mention they have 6 location for you to choose from. So you get the best speed for your local website. And You can swap in and out when ever you need to.<p>They have some Coupon code in LET. So check them out if you see fit.

The only reason not to roll your own VPN on some private server, is the lack of deniability. The dedicated IP of the server is tied directly to your name&#x2F;credit card. A public VPN, while also tied to your banking info, usually acts as a NAT. Multiple clients exit the VPN given the same source IP address. If no logs are kept (as promised on most services), no one can (accurately) tie an IP address to your name. I personally use the BTGuard VPN for this reason.

some basics: -- always use a secure vpn (that is NOT just any vpn) -- always use high-end cryptography for the stream content on the vpn (like IPsec) -- look for a vpn provider that has absolutely nothing to do, work in, have equipment installed in, is a subsidiary of a company residing in the US, the UK and all its commonwealth dependencies, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. -- besides that, the vpn provider should also provide you with a voluntary connection (that is YOU holding the ONLY key in any encryption -- and the vpn provider should contractually commit to not having, maintaining for any purpose any logs of your connectivity -- always use that from a fully portable operating system (DVD or USB stick) like Tails -- use when possible also Tor (note that Tor traffic remains always visible and is not encrypted) for anonymity -- use an automated MAC spoofer -- always use PGP&#x2F;GPG with RSA&#x2F;RSA subkey set and 4096 bit keys<p>If you have accomplished all the above, you have a &#x27;relatively&#x27; safe communications vehicle.<p>happy camping all.<p>and oh yeah if somebody on this medium operates a vpn service accomplishing all the minimum demands above for it, please make pr, cause your service is in high demand.
