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

If I could give zero stars I would. I was a customer for three years overpaying but double the amount. Shortly after I had signed up, they dropped their price in half and never informed me. I only realized this after buying a new computer and having to download the application on my new device. I reached out to their customer service, who told me they did not have to inform me of such and if I wanted the new price I had to cancel my automatic renewal and wait to sign up again. Such poor customer service, these people are true scammers and do not care about their customers. I will be switching vpn and finding another service. I would not give these people any of your money. Aside from their awful customer service, the vpn blocking did not work many times and when I checked my own IP address it still showed up as my own and the connection was extremely slow. So many better services out there!

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.

Private Tunnel helps secure and protect your personal data and information while you surf the web anonymously. We were disappointed to find that it can't unblock Netflix. If you're looking for a VPN for streaming, NordVPN is a safer bet. It has a super-fast global server network and it can unblock 140+ streaming services.
With Private Tunnel, you can connect no matter where you are, and you can

Do they keep logs?
They seem unclear on that one no peer to peer for my needs makes it less worrisome.The low amount of servers is a minus,and for a time it had a Turkish name as where the location was last year. Speed is decent,do they keep logs?If you want net freedom no VPN should. Useless with BBC too.

Cheap and nasty - avoid
Now owned by a company known for malware and adware, this product is cheap and useless.
It’s cheap but for good reason. They cancel servers without notice, have unreliable connections and make it extraordinarily difficult to cancel.
Their service is useless and all they are concerned with is “can I close your ticket now?”

Bandwidth package lost, customer service won't help.
I had a nice fixed bandwidth package that would have lasted me for years.
Because I accidentally signed up for a trial account, my bandwidth package was removed from my account (they admitted that this is a bug in their website)
They refuse to reinstate my bandwidth package, saying that it is impossible (with all their expertise, I find that hard to believe).
The fact is that they don't want to, they would rather I sign up for a high monthly fee.
