ExpressVPN raised their prices. Recommendations for alternatives?

i personally used proton years ago and it was slow, people also claim their servers get flagged quickly and some platforms ban them
even nord wasnt up to express speed, altho i dont see many talk about speed diffs
maybe cuz downloads arent common use
i dont care about connecting more devices (which is the reason for express price hike), but would u guys recommend staying anyway?

Nortvpn, i use it for games too, but if someone got an alternative for games, i don’t mind hearing it.

I use proton VPN with next DNS , I suggest you give proton VPN another go since its been improved a lot in speed and reliability. Also the only VPN that I know that still have port forwarding since many other VPN dropped support for it like mullvad VPN.

HMA vpn is a good alternative

I’ve been using surf shark for 6 months and never faced an issue

I use TunnelBear, i highly recommend it, you can use it for free because they give u up to 10GB free VPN after that you can pay. Check if it’s good, if not then you can delete your account. They make offers too.

Urban vpn free and descent

I use PIA which is great

If you sub to google for their extra storage they give you a free vpn. Check it out. It’s part of Google One

Hotspot shield premium

why do you need vpn OP ? geo locking

streaming and download good?
what location do you use, if i may

saw urbsn on “top 10 vpns” sites, altho the sites are wonky, but it seems it’s got a good rep on reddit too

descent, 1st time i hear about

saw it topping some online rankings i saw
can it trick netflix and prime into thinking im in another location?
no hiccups in ur exp?

last i checked it didnt work in q8, but ill check again

u fr? is it comparable to express?

several reasons

like at least a few times a year i have to access sites for transactions that wouldnt allow me unless i use a local ip

and then streaming and downloads is the majority of my use

and honestly at this point, cuz im so used to it, it just makes me feel safe, generally, maybe its a placebo, idk

Old is gold, I stand by my choices lol

Streaming yes not sure about downloading as I don’t download a lot, but downloading was never an issue as well. I mainly got a vpn to protect my privacy as I am very involved in crypto and can’t risk getting hacked or traced
