Hide.me is known for speed, security, and transparency. They do not keep logs, which their privacy policy reasonably reliable. Also, with apps for almost all major platforms, they remain a favorite among millions of users. I'll dive into this more further into the review, but Hide.me does have some unfortunate limits, namely that it doesn't bypass Netflix's geoblocks. For that, go with a service we've

Superb
I am using Hideme since last 2.5 years. In my view its one of the best VPN service provider. Their service and customer support both are very fast. Never faced any kind of serious issue and if it happened, it was resolved within 24 hours. Rates are also very economical in return of the value.

Don't buy
I've had this VPN for a couple of years now, but since the last build, it's been nothing but trouble. Every time I send in a service request, I get a "try this, try that" approach. I tried rebooting my PC and my modem, and it still doesn't work. I paid for 2 years, just glad I didn't get sucked into the lifetime plan.

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. The short answer? No. IPVanish can't unblock Netflix, so if that's what you're looking for in a VPN, I'd sug

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.

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.

Chat Support is no longer available
Chat Support was really convenient, that is while it was available. From my experience trying to use it hasn't been an option. I've had service for about 2 months now. Had no problem connecting Android and fire TV. But for some reason have not been able to connect on Windows 10. Was getting some assistance with the Chat Support. But not the case lately. Am now having problems with setting new password. So now I'm unable to connect anything. Have tried email without any progress! 🙄

Did not protect me!
Nice and easy to use, a great interface, but I have received several copyright infringement notices from MY ISP while using PIA. Their customer service worked with me over and over and they were not able to make PIA work for my Win 7 computer. At first it was leaking my Ipv6 info, and now it is something else. And I am in big trouble. I had previously used a simple anonimizer with no problem for years. DON'T USE PIA!
