BTGuard is a small VPN and BitTorrent proxy provider that offers a scaled-back but secure service. Although they do offer a full VPN service, their main focus is providing security and anonymity for torrenting.
This is an okay choice for a VPN. However, we don't think 'okay' is enough. We prefer the best-in-class, industry-leading of a VPN likeNordVPN.It offers exceptional privacy and safe torrentin

Used BTGuard for a few years with really no issues. However, I ran into an issue about a month ago. Have opened tickets through support and sales with no luck. I even tried calling them to no avail. I even informed my CC company and they can't seem to get in touch with them. I just want to inform people to not use BTGuard and hope this review helps someone in the future. -2 stars!

Hotspot Shield is a popular VPN service with over 650 million users and multiple servers in 55+ countries.
In fact, the website claims it is the #1 grossing app for productivity in the US App Store. (When we checked the App Store source, it actually indicated #8, which is still an impressive ranking.)
One of the features that make Hotspot Shield special is its unique Catapult Hydra protocol,

So good
Best for BBC Iplayer, channel 4, channel 5, zdf, orf.
Everything is better than 2018, the chat service is so nice, I had some problems, they solved the problems for me. The helping center is so kind, I was used to be a member of Astrill VPN and they were very aggressive, very bad one, I must pay more for private IP for an UK country.(exclude from yearly package 99 USD)
So impress, The price is reasonable and friendly.

Private Internet Access (PIA) is one of the most popular VPNs on the market. True to its name, this provider is best known for its strict no-logs policy and commitment to user privacy.
Is PIA truly as trustworthy as they claim when it comes to protecting user privacy and anonymity? How does it perform in other categories like streaming, torrenting, and safety?

I Trust PIA
PIA has been protecting me for years now and been very easy to use. Payment via gift card is straightforward and an excellent option -- though a more expensive option since you won't get as many days as you would via other sources for the same amount of money. However, PIA has proven itself to be trustworthy with its no logs policy. That in itself makes me a loyal and continuing subscriber.
