What’s everyone’s opinion on a VPN provider? I’ve used Nord for a long time, but my subscription is up next month and I’m exploring my options. I use a vpn 24/7 on my laptop and most of the time on my phone as does much of the family.
Requirements:
- Support for family plan/multiple devices
- Apple Ecosystem - macOS/iOS clients (Linux nice to have)
- Fast enough to always be running on the device
- Easy to switch between servers and countries
- Not on a lot of deny lists
I did a couple searches here and was surprised I didn’t come across this question before. I hope it’s not asked too often!
E: Currently leaning towards Proton
I really like mullvad but I unfortunately had to switch because they removed port forwarding. I first switched to Airvpn which is decent but has a max bandwidth of around 600 Mbits/s and I wanted 1000 at minimum but optimally 2000+. Proton VPN fits that requirement well. Unfortunately port forwarding is annoying because they give you a new port every time you connect.
Fortunately there are forks of the VPN app that automatically change the port configuration in qbittorrent. I’m pretty sure I use this one: https://github.com/ravesheep/ProtonVPN-windows
There are similar solutions for Linux.
