Topic: Which VPN to pick? - page 4. (Read 1937 times)
Choosing Virtual Private Network (VPN) is just only use to change your Internet Protocol (IP) and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or server just to open or browse some of the website or platform that is not acceptable on your country, also you can use the Http Injector, OpenVPN (Ovpn) or the SSH Elite if you want to browse some of the VPN but some of this requires some configuration that you will get through the groups related on that VPN most of the time they are giving server in the country of SG, PH, US, KR or CH.
your current location matters(country) because some VPN restricted services in some countries. especially the African continent. also, why you want to use VPN is another reason. you can use Nordvpn. it is powerful and one of the best vpn around. i personal use Dotvpn because the services are affordable and always available. Also the free services are works well when you are out of subscription but Ads will always be your problem.
NordVPN certainly has a lot of positive things going for it. My only real issue with them is that they were hacked back in March 2018, and it took them 18 months to tell their users that their data might have been compromised or their traffic decrypted by a malicious third party. It's difficult to trust a company who don't tell their users when there are security issues.
Tunnelbear's privacy policy isn't terrible, but they do keep some logs including details about your OS, your app version, and how much data you use. They are based in Canada (five eyes country), and are owned and operated by McAfee. Their free plan only allows 500MB a month, and the only way to pay for a plan is via a credit card, which obviously then links your VPN activity to your real name and address, which is far from ideal. Overall, not a great choice.
Avast's privacy policy is awful:
Avast collects your personal data including real name, address, social media accounts, and IP addresses, and shares that data with marketing, surveying, and data analysis companies. Avoid them at all costs.

Nord are easy to use, big and reliable. They reduce prices at various times in sales and give a good discount for a long term packages which is fair to take up.
The free ones I can remember using are tunnelbear who do want you to pay but also give a free allowance and Avast vpn I used for like month or two and was no hassle, again they want you to sign up eventually but it was easy to get hold of, engage and then not use later so easy all round.

Orbot is good, but it isn't a VPN. It routes all your mobile traffic over the Tor network.
Ho, I am sorry. Orbot working as vpn, it will hide IP address perfectly
I had used hola VPN in the past which wasn't good whenever I tried to change the specific country it was changed to something else after that I tried some setup VPN but it was also not working properly. Thank you, OP for creating this thread and all the members for sharing the new VPN. I will definitely try out the recommended VPN.
I'm using CyberGhost.
It offers an excellent VPN product with strong, unique features not found elsewhere, along with a generous number of simultaneous connections.
CyberGhost is one of the worst. Also, I'd be interested if you could tell me a single "unique feature" they provide which isn't found elsewhere, as I am not aware of any.It offers an excellent VPN product with strong, unique features not found elsewhere, along with a generous number of simultaneous connections.
Let's take a look at their Privacy Policy:
No one here mention orbot?. this free VPN for android.

i use ProtonVPN.
Did you read the last few posts?
Please read the last 2 pages and then give your opinion-suggestion about what OP should use.
Try to post multiple options for him or her, don't do the same mistake I did unless you are very sure the VPN you suggested is a trusted one.
i use ProtonVPN.
Is this whole thread just going to turn in to people suggesting VPNs and me showing them how terrible their Privacy Policies are?
HotspotShield is a free browser extension. Therefore it is not a real VPN, and as has been said above, if you are getting something for free, then you are the product. The bottom line is the must be making money somehow, or else they would cease to operate, and they do so by selling your data. Let's take a look at their Privacy Policy:

What. The. Hell. Red flags number 3 through 100. Avoid this spyware at all costs. We may allow our business partners to place certain tracking technologies in our services.
Go for Tunnelbear. i think it is wonderful but there are restrictions especially for some countries. Another good VPN is turbo. Looks good and quite impressive. Remember that VPN is not free of charge and you are to pay if you want a premium services.
I'd prefer to go with HotSpot Shield by AnchorFree as I've been using it since last 3 years and had no problems in getting latest proxies every single time I switched the VPN on. It has 2 types - Free and Premium where Premium costs you $12 monthly and around $96 yearly.
I understand, Everyone has his or her own opinion on what's good for them,
I've been Using Secure VPN 2019 since last year,
And it worked perfectly well for me,
So I highly recommend it for your Device safety from useless site,
As it protects you from virus as well.

4) I don't know if the product is a "shit" product or not. That's why I said moonyguy to try more and pick one he likes.
Even if you are not getting paid to promote this "free VPN" extension OR you are not related to them, keep in mind that ANY free VPN/proxy is a spyware. They need to pay their servers, right? If you don't pay for the product, you are the product.Why would you advertise something like this? This doesn't necessarily mean you deserve a negative trust right away, BUT it is kinda shady (also considering it was your first post).
I understand what you mean, but I didn't said is free.
OK, I don't want to talk anymore and get into details, it will be considered I continue promoting that VPN.

Hey, I am just starting out and would like to use a VPN, but don't know which one... Would you recommend NordVPN? I have done some reading https://www.reddit.com/r/nordvpn/ and looks alright, how is it for bitcoin stuff?
For me NORD vpn is already good. But as of now, I am using Touch VPN in my pc. It offers a lot of countries that is why I would like to recommend that one to you. It is called touch because in just a touch, the vpn will literally gonna be activated. Try to check that out and for sure you will not regret that using it. 
1) I do not promote any product, I posted what I use answering the thread initiator question.
2) How can you trust or not someone if you don't know him? Just because you saw 1 post of him?
3) As for the brand new account, maybe because I am new to this forum.
