AirVPN is a reliable, budget-friendly VPN with high-end security features. It offers unlimited bandwidth on 220+ servers across 20 countries.
Let’s take an in-depth look at its features and policies to find out if this is the best VPN for you.
AirVPN does work with Netflix, but it's not quite the seamless streaming experience we'd hoped for, with slow speeds and ads. If you want speedy, unin

You can forward up to 20 ports simultaneously!!
They allow you to create and forward up to 20 ports simultaneously. (Above port 2048) No other VPN allows this. I have made fully working ToR exit nodes on AIRVPN servers. You just can't do that on other VPN's. Being able to make your own port and have full access to it on any server is just amazing.

The Linux client is buggy, the Android client doesn't even attempt to block your IP, servers are often extremely laggy (less than 100mbps) forcing you to reconnect to continue usage, and - they may very well block you from using not only their servers, but their website as well for absolutely NO REASON. Meaning you can't get in contact with them for support unless you make a public Tweet about it... which they will delete... and still give you no answer on why they blocked you. I'm not a "hacktivist", I'm "Russian", and I just needed a secure VPN fast so I could continue working and going to school. These people are NOT serious at all about this service. The positive reviews here are probably from friends of theirs, and not anyone that has any random real-world experience with their service as a stranger. Pay attention to the negative reviews - they are the ones telling the TRUTH. There are similar VPNs out there which render better service, real customer support that isn't limited to a website they can freely block you from at random, and genuine security. I paid for a year of service, and only got 6m out of that.

Hide.me is known for speed, security, and transparency. They do not keep logs, which their privacy policy reasonably reliable. Also, with apps for almost all major platforms, they remain a favorite among millions of users. I'll dive into this more further into the review, but Hide.me does have some unfortunate limits, namely that it doesn't bypass Netflix's geoblocks. For that, go with a service we've

Been using it for 5 years now.
The windows and android apps are really easy to use.
I've hardly ever had issues with it. It's very reasonably priced as well. It does everything i want it to and more for a minor amount of money.

VPNSecure is a VPN provider that prides itself own having built their own VPN clients and server hardware and software. This helps them be one of the fastest VPNs (almost as fast as ExpressVPN). All aspects of their service are entirely customized.
While its speeds are great, its unblocking capabilities aren't. It's unable to unblock Netflix, so if you want to find a vendor that does, I'd suggest

Works awesome for me
I bought the lifetime option/version and have it on my mobile (Android 10 on Pixel 2XL currently) and several PCs (a mix of desktops and laptops). Only site I have found issues with is Netflix which is a known issue. Other that than I have zero complaints about it.

Watch out for the auto-renewal
All the language about customer satisfaction doesn't apply to a "renewal". There is no refund for the auto-renewal. I received notice that my credit card had been charged. I immediately requested a refund (same day). they rejected the request and referred me to an extremely vague clause in their agreement.
Too hard to fight so they just basically took my money. It feels like a scam and a setup.

Paid for Life-Time Plan, Never Worked
Paid for Life-Time Plan, Never Worked
The life-time offer was through StackSocial.Com
Tried tech support, could not get it to work.
StackSocial said to get refnd from VPNsecire
VPNsecure said StackSocial should refund.
There was no refund. So total loss.
So switched to other VPN services.
Always keep your loss and initial outlay small.
Do not believe reviews blindly.
