Buffered VPN is a simple VPN service, so you won't get the advanced security and privacy features of premium services like ExpressVPN. However, Buffered VPN still has a lot to offer due to its user-friendly interface, fast connection speeds, and reliable security.
In addition to dedicated apps available for all major platforms, Buffered VPN also offers router compatibility. There are 40+ servers

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!

IPVanish offers high-speed connections and an impressive list of advanced security features at a budget-friendly price.
For this review, we put IPVanish through its paces. We thoroughly tested its speed, performance, ease of use, and ability to access popular streaming services like Netflix. We hope this will help you decide if it's the best VPN service for you.

Fast and always reliable!
I've been using IPVanish for years and it's never let me down. I have it on my laptops, iphone and ipad, and it's always on. User-friendly interface. Excellent speed test performance. Hundreds of servers around the globe. Allows BitTorrenting. Automatic IP address cycling. Kill switch. I like the flexibility of the service and the options that are offered.

Mullvad is a budget-friendly VPN that operates 360+ servers in 30+ countries. It also operates bridge servers that help users bypass censorship and firewalls. This means you can connect to Mullvad from places like China.
It’s easy to use and security-minded. This VPN keeps a strict no-logs policy and protects your data with military-level encryption. You can try it free for three hours before

Used them for years and have been nothing but impressed
I'm glad to see this review validates much of what I purchased this VPN for ages ago. The speed is generally less than non-vpn, which I expect, but it is never so slow that I wish I had a different VPN. Also, if it is noticeably slower I can simply switch to another location/country with one click and it is immediately resolved. My primary reasons for choosing them was the multiple concurrent connections allowed, multiple Operating systems supported, complete anonymity (no e-mail or anything else required and option of bitcoin payment event though I've never used that and stick with paypal), and the no log policy.

Extremely poor treatment of customers
Completely useless!
They are far more interested in taking your money than being there to support you when their quite epileptic service begins to play up and interrupt the flow of whatever you are doing online.
Also they only present you with an opportunity to chat when you indicate a wish to terminate the service.
As said above, they do not really even warrant the minimum one star!

Technically superior to a lot of other services, but then out of left field, comes a surprise you weren't expecting.
I liked this service, but I won't beg. I opted for a years service and tried to pay them. The transaction was refused. "Too many transactions and it was too soon to renew" the error message read."
