While we wish it offered as many devices as NordVPN, Cloak succeeds in protecting Apple devices connected to public unprotected networks. It also succeeds in unblocking Netflix, but it's not reliable on every server. If you want greater reliability, speed, and quality, i'd recommend NordVPN.
Once installed on the users' devices, the Cloak app automatically creates a VPN connection when the device

Simple for all my iOS/OSX devices
I travel a lot, US and EU, and use airline club, airport and hotel connections - all of which make me nervous, especially because I check my IRAs 2-3 times a day.
Cloak is the third VPN I've tried - I don't remember the names of others because I quickly abandoned them when I found them kludgy and hard to set up. Cloak is SO easy, and shows up as a simple iOS setting choice. I see no speed impact, although I suspect there may be one, and so when I'm connecting to a slow service, I may use it only when transmitting or receiving sensitive data.
Like seatbelts and life jackets, the easier they are to use, the more likely they are to be used. Cloak is easy.

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.

VPN Unlimited is headquartered in New York and is the subsidiary of KeepSolid. While the fact that VPN Unlimited is US-based in New York does not thrill us (as opposed to, say, ExpressVPN, which runs out of the British Virgin Islands) VPN Unlimited provides users with a solid VPN service.
With its server locations and data centers in more than 39 countries and 50 regions respectively, VPN Unlim

Excellent VPN
Works well on Desktop,Tablet and Cell Phones. Speed is good. Virtual IP appears to be in the correct country it claims. Ability to fool Googles VPN check and other sites that think you are a robot and trigger a captcha window. VPN Unlimited allows you to fool these sites. No captcha = happy user. If you search you may find the special deal that offers lifetime subscription for $33(US) you can't go wrong.

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?”
