Buffered VPN has a lot to offer due to its user-friendly interface, fast connection speeds, and reliable security. One thing it can't do is unblock Netflix, you'll need a premium vendor like NordVPN for that.
In addition to dedicated apps available for all major platforms, Buffered VPN also offers router compatibility. There are 40+ servers available in 37 different countries, including three ser

I considered a number of VPN's before going with Buffered which I find excellent.
No issues in any aspect, On the rare occasions that I required assistance (in the initial set up stage), the Help Desk was outstanding. Would highly recommend Buffered to anyone considering using a VPN

Scam scam scam.
I tried to create an account. Declined. Tried again. Declined. Checked my bank and my card was frozen from suspicious activity from their website, obviously I did do this, so unfroze it. Now I’m charged twice, and my account was never made so they are telling me I can’t get my money back. At this point they ask me for a screenshot of the charges... uh okay, with my bank info? So I screenshot and there’s FOUR charges, but “no way to get my money back” finally I get so angry she “finds a way” and so far only two have been reimbursed. Yeah, only sign up if your ready to be stolen from!! I understand how I was charged twice, but not four times. If they insist you have to have an account to bring up that info I should have never been charged in the first place!

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.

Not Worth the Headaches
I tried this. Kept getting blocked d/t usage. Even after paying for the "Elite" service I would be blocked & receive a notice that "You have used up your bandwidth. Please buy more or upgrade" & this CONTINUED after I had paid for 2 YEARS of "Elite" service. It was also telling me my subscription had "expired" even tho I had had the service for less than a month. Repeated emails to support got me canned answers to change my password (??). Even after changing it 6 times in a matter of an hour I STILL could not get my "Elite" account to work. Finally did get an answer from a "live" person (I think) who was able to do nothing except keep telling me to change my password. After a week of trying to get help, I gave up and asked for a refund. ExpressVPN is SO much easier.....don't even waste your time here on a FREE account.
