A good VPN provider

[dobrowol]

I'm thinking of getting one. Name a really good one please.

[Snow]

Tunnelbear and Private Internet Access.
Finally all those ads from Linus videos have come of use.

[Eldin]

Tunnelbear is the best

Does PIA provide static addresses, for instance to access Netflix US from other territories?

[Cathulhu]

Yeah, no. NordVPN is known to sell data collected from their customers. That alone disqualifies pretty much the whole list as there has been no quality control.

Have been a PIA user for several years, very satisfied.

Have not needed the customer service aside from billing questions, it works very well with the occasional glitch but very few and far between.

Extremely reliable and can keep connection for months, worth checking out.

Edit - for Netflix, I think they are blocking PIA now - from what I understand ExpressVPN works well for Netflix, but no experience with them.

I was looking at VeePN. Any good??

BTW thanks for the heads up on NordVPN. I didn't know that. They advertise alot in PC gamer magazine.

I would try a few & decide for yourself! Id recommed Airvpn , Mullvad or Protonvpn, but choose one that suits your needs, then do a little research!

Both the links above provide some useful information to get you started!

Same here no complaints about PIA.

Netflix is a funny thing working sometimes then out of the blue not, bouncing around to different servers gets you hooked up sometimes.

If you've got a VPN like PIA there are other options to getting what you want.

ProtonVPN.

For netflix on pc web browser like chrome express and nord work for multiple countries 5+ (?) They might have dns services for devices other than pc? Getflix which is a dns service works on multiple devices but can be a pain to set up on devices and is US netflix only. Their vpn service isn't great and doesn't work with netflix so US region only using dns service. Dns codes need to be entered into your router for devices other than pc I think.

This is why I use the VPN that comes with my Norton 360. I feel like Symantec are the least likely to screw me.

PIA would be my suggestion, been using them for years with no issues.

You can make your own if you don't mind taking some time to learn how to do it.

I've always used ProtonVPN. The free service gives you USA, Netherlands and Japan servers and is really quick. The last time I checked I was getting something like 130mb/s from the Netherlands servers.

Also, I read a review a few months back which included an in-depth read of terms and conditions of VPN providers. Soooo many claim on their websites that they don't log data but buried in the T&Cs is details of data they do save. ProtonVPN wasn't on the list!

Their email (ProtonMail) is good too.
