I used Mullvad for a long time, but hearing about one of the two CEOs actively supporting and financing swedish Nazis, I'm looking to put my money elsewhere. That's the second one after Private Internet Access (who supported Gab).

I had AirVPN and Surfshark being recomnended, how do people here feel? What do you use?

Is routing everything through Tor a good option?

I just dont get why anyone would willingly tunnel all their traffic to some party they dont know the inner workings of.

I've just signed up to ivpn for a month. I appreciate their honesty on their website and the education they also have.

My only challenge is looking at getting through the great firewall.. I'm yet to find any successful VPN's / best practices

Bern using Tunnelbear with some success, but mainly to circumvent geoblocking.

Hey bud,

Whereever you are located, they will start blocking VPNs soon. rent a server using crypto and install xray vless realty tlx.

People don't like Surfshark because a while back NordVPN bought them but doesn't explicitly disclose that it's operating two products. The service of either is fine though if all you ever want is to stream or download. Nord's selling point now is that it has many servers and they're fast. Oh and they're operating out of Panama so they don't have to report your traffic to anyone.

But most VPN's aren't doing port forwarding anymore so expect not to be able to upload anything privately. Ones I learned that will still support port forwarding and are accommodating to p2p sharing are Airvpn and Proton (as long as you're actually paying for it). I've only tried AirVPN and the servers were slow but that was years ago. My next subscription with will probably be to Proton.

Since I use it only eventually instead of running 24/7 I like Surfshark. If I'm not mistaken it's under Netherlands jurisdiction, which makes it much more trustworthy than USA VPN providers. It also has good cost benefit and good performance overall.

I never looked into it too deeply though. But as I said, for sporadic use I am definitely satisfied.

Now apparently owned by NordVPN. And based in Panama according to another commenter.
