I want simply the best VPN in the performance – price ratio

VPN
1

I’m looking for a reliable, cheap, and speedy VPN. I have read many reviews, most were affiliates, and I don’t trust those much. I want simply the best VPN in the performance–price ratio. I do need advice from someone with personal and practical experience, I don’t want to read more and more articles about nothing.

I require a fast, reliable VPN that works on multiple devices simultaneously, iPad, iPhone, Mac.

My favorites are:

Private Internet Access
Surfshark
NordVPN
Cyber Ghost
Others—???

I’m an advocate of Mullvad. Usually if I find a slower server I’ll just switch, but I’ve only found 1 that I’d avoid

I’ve had excellent luck with Surfshark for the past year with 0 issues. It’s fast. I run it on multiple devices as once (TV, iPads, MacBooks, iPhones) and can unblock content from other countries. There are a lot of locations to choose from.

In the past I’ve used expressVPN, WeVPN, CyberGhost with mixed results.

I guess it depends what you are using it for. But this is just my experience.

Nord worked well for me. I also got their password manager.

NordVPN. Very reliable, zero downtime and excellent add-ons like NordPass, NordLocker and NordLayer. Meshnet ready. Strong threat protection, along with DarkNet monitoring. I used it while traveling in Europe and the Middle East for six months and never an issue. Same with home use here in Maine.

Windscribe… $3/m for the build your own plan wirh unlimited speed and data and all US servers. No contract. They give you 10 gigs a month as a free user so you can try before you buy. It’s not the absolute best, but for torrents, geospoofing, etc it’s fine. They don’t log.

More important question is what are you using it for?

Surfshark is definitely faster and more reliable than Nord despite it being a sister company.
Surfshark is also easily configured in GL-Inet routers.

I run my own openvpn server in Google cloud. Costs around 20$/month.

On that list Nord is the only decent one. Mulvad,proton, lastly nord.

12

Express VPN seems the best for streaming thru a fire stick

13

I’m currently having excellent speeds and features with Proton.

14

StarVPN Residential or Mullvad

15

Private Internet Access

Thanks, it was my first favorite. How are you?

16

Yes, I am very happy with them too!

17

Surfshark is cheap af… I never really judged it on performance so can’t say but I’ve been happy with it. I seem to recall paying like $50 for 3 years

18

“All US servers” goes on to talk about geospoofing :rofl:

I’ve used a bunch of VPNs including a few on OP’s list and ProtonVPN is solid. It’s my current option. I trust Proton more than most VPN companies out there, and on a practical level I’ve found it very fast and reliable and only getting better over time.

Every now and again in the earlier days I would notice everything slowing down, so I’d check and see that the server I’m on is nearly full, and switch to a less busy one. It was a bit annoying, but I genuinely don’t even remember the last time I needed to do that. Similarly, the macOS app used to be kind of buggy, but again I don’t even remember the last time I had issues with it. They’ve done loads of good work.
