Astrill VPN is undeniably powerful and packed with useful features. Its network of 300+ servers in 64+ countries offers superfast connection speeds and access to geo-restricted content around the world. By way of comparison, ExpressVPN has 3,000 servers in over 160 countries.
This VPN provides a long list of encryption algorithms and secure protocols to choose from, including a proprietary prot

Excellent All Round
Very robust VPN, the only real choice for China. A little on the costly side but the only one which has consistently worked well over the years. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending, especially for anyone looking for a reliable VPN for China.

Good... when it works
I've been with them for several years but this may be my last. When it works it's great, but this year I've experienced throttling where I get 1-5Mbps on a 1Gbps connection on ALL servers. Their customer service has gone downhill and I've experienced rude representative who have been pushing to upsell additional products all while avoiding to resolve any of the issues on their servers. Stay away for the moment until they can resolve some of their internal issues and hopefully they can return it to a consistent and favorable service.

CyberGhost (with its top-secret hidden discount page) calls itself a "truly complete VPN solution". I put the service to the test and examined CyberGhost and the rumors surrounding it.
I'm based in Australia, so my local internet is both slower and subject to more censorship than countries like the US. I've tested lots of services to find a VPN that will give me unrestricted internet access without

Very good, but missing Netfix for the Netherlands
Works always good, only missing Netflix for the Netherlands.
It would be nice if you can make the streaming for Netflix.
Otherwise i'm satisfied.
The speed is good.

We recently learned that Perfect Privacy uses a US-based location to handle some payments.
If you’re paying via PayPal, the billing address will appear as Vectura Datamanagement Limited Company, based in Cheyenne, Wyoming:
This may come as a surprise for some, especially when PP doesn’t mention a US billing address for PayPal anywhere in their terms (although they aren’t obliged to

Outstanding vpn for security
I have tried and used other popular vpn's but find that Perfect Privacy seems to work the best when it comes to security and privacy....it also has a more professional feel to it compared to others.
Its worth the little bit of extra money i paid for it.

Improper billing
Had a trial - but did not work even with help of their tech support. I cancelled before end of trial period but was charged anyway.
Since I could not prove the cancellation - it was on their web site - they said they could do nothing. Unfortunately I did not catch the charge, so I was billed and they even tried to auto renew the charge at end of subscription period.
Unless you check everything carefully, and keep precise records, they will not help you.

Dont do it, its sketchy.
If you like me, cannot find a way to cancel your payment (Its through paypal.) then you are outta luck. Also, its easy to lose your password because they give you a temp password with NO means of recovery for your password if you lose the email with the temp password.
Whats worse is if you lose that then you are going to have to contact them and hope they can give your password to you which good luck with that, when I contacted them for a refund and asked them for my password, instead they went to berate me.
Terrible service, "I'm sure that Paypal is on our Side, because it was your
fault."
Yep, a rep literally said this in an email when I was asking for a refund and he wouldn't give it so I went to paypal for it. He said, "Its your fault for not canceling the service sooner." when literally I couldn't find a way to cancel it for HOURS because I couldn't find my password. I gave up at one time and forgot about it and then I went at it again. I used their service for literally a day.
So do NOT buy this service, on top of all this its actually very hard to find a server with good ping and actual space for MB also, if someone enters the server and fills it up to max, it slows the server down for EVERYONE so there is going to be severe lag spikes that will happen utterly randomly.
I was going to use it to block ads on twitch but I can just go to literally any other VPN with ad blocking.
