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

Been using it for 5 years now.
The windows and android apps are really easy to use.
I've hardly ever had issues with it. It's very reasonably priced as well. It does everything i want it to and more for a minor amount of money.

Watch out for the auto-renewal
All the language about customer satisfaction doesn't apply to a "renewal". There is no refund for the auto-renewal. I received notice that my credit card had been charged. I immediately requested a refund (same day). they rejected the request and referred me to an extremely vague clause in their agreement.
Too hard to fight so they just basically took my money. It feels like a scam and a setup.

Very, very satisfied
I am into my third year of using IPVanish. I am extremely happy with the speed, reliability, features and reliability. The fact that I have used it for this long without trying the competition speaks volumes. I am never going to try anything else because I am completely happy with what I have. Why risk it?

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.
