Although it’s based in Singapore, which sometimes faces censorship issues of their own, Ivacy has proven itself as an exceptional VPN.
The VPN has standard encryption and security with 256-bit military-grade encryption and several protocols including IPSEC, IKeV, L2TP, OpenVPN, TCP and UD.
On top of that, Ivacy has a kill-switch, which will cut your internet connection if there is a leak.

Happy user
The service is excellent, the responded to my emails was very rapid. It is good around VPN for the money you pay. I did experience a loss in speed while streaming on - line with my Android TV- Box it occasionally cause buffering.
This was over come my changing the connection to another area.
Very easy to install on any device works well.
I have recommended it to others with in my circle of friends.

Needs improving.
PC app is really unstable, connection disconnects a lot, it will use the Ikev network adapter even when you set it to udp, it’s meant to use the openvpn adapter when you set it to udp or tcp, so I have to manually delete the ikev adapter for it to recognise and use the openvpn adapter, also the killswitch will shut off the internet completely which is good but even the Ivacy app will not be able to use the internet to login to your account!!! So have to disable the killswitch, and to prevent ip/dns leak you’ve got to restart the app in admin mode which will the disable the killswitch while the app restarts, also the windows app sometimes factory resets itself and all the settings you’ve set are gone and you have to login again. The iOS app is even more of a privacy hazard as the killswitch uses the “connect on demand” switch, what occurs though is that when you switch networks to say a new Wi-fi network or you turn off Wi-fi and use cellular, the “connect on demand” switch will sometimes disable itself and you are unawarely browsing the web with no VPN connection. Also they offer a free trial but with the NordVPN scandal of hacker/scammers abusing free vpn trials, I hope Ivacy gets rid of it to deter them, and offers a money back guarantee instead.

Windscribe VPN is a Canada-based provider that promises to help you browse the web privately.
In addition to its paid service, this VPN has a popular free version that attracts many users with its generous 10GB monthly data limit.
The Pro version gives you access to unlimited data and servers in 110 cities spread across 60 countries.
I put this VPN to the test to find out how its performa

All time go to VPN
Windscribe is the best VPN I've put my hands on in a while. It's great to have something that actually works, so i was over the moon after trying the free plan and finding it to have no issues. Never hesitated to upgrade either. Worth the investment especial when you consider you are getting everything you need to enjoy safe surfing.

Horrible Customer Service
Customer Service basically does not exist. All you can do is open a ticket and pray that someone will eventually respond. You will get automated email promising to get back with lame excuse that all reps are human (except poor Garry which is not much of a help). I am not going to renew.
