| Looking for a good VPN. What do you use and what do you like/dislike about it? |
| can't find my bookmark for it. the one I would use was independently tested for very little speed loss and isp addys all over the globe, which would be good too for getting lower prices for plane tickets. Cheaper in locations with poorer economy. price was in line. and no logs. |

I used StrongVPN mainly because it was the first one I found at the time for a decent price (was $55/yr) that gave me >100mbits and had no logs. They had decent customer support too.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that there is still a DNS leak through a VPN. You can find out if your DNS leaks through a bunch of websites like https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ . I use a program called VPNCheck Pro to take care of that. |

I had been considering getting a VPN when I saw this thread. I signed up for the PIA ($40 a year) service and configured my router to use it, so now I guess all my internet activity is going through the VPN.
Speed test with VPN enabled was 8Mbps down and 4Mbps up. (a different test said I was doing 9/5Mbps) With VPN disabled, I get 56Mbps down and 5.5Mbps up. (a different test said I was doing 109/6.15Mbps) Ping times in a game increased from 60ms to 100ms. I installed dd-wrt software on my router, so it's easy to enable and disable the VPN service. I don't play a lot of games, so I will probably leave it enabled most of the time. Edit.... I just realized that my download speed is probably being limited by the fact that my router is doing all the work. |

| I use TorGuard. I lucked out and got a yearly recurring 50% off coupon. I really have no way of knowing if it's great or not, but I've heard good things about it. They claim to keep no logs, according to a comprehensive survey of popular VPN providers conducted by a website that may not be CoC-compliant. |

CL blocks everything from known pia servers. And I know there are a few other sites that do too. Otherwise I'm happy with pia. But I'll probably shop around again when my subscription is up. Anyone know how to defeat CL's blocked IP list? |
