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.

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.

Ivacy is not P2P friendly in America.
None of their servers in America are p2p friendly. When you find this out and ask for a refund, they'll tell you your out of luck. Despite having a year and a half subscription to their service left, I bought three years of Nordvpn and I'm already far more satisfied with their service.

Greatest and cheapest VPN!
I needed a VPN, to unlock my download Speed on Steam.
So i tried this VPN, and the download speed went from 600kb/s, to 1.7MB/s!! Then, i have instantly bought a plan, which it costs only 2$!
I totally recommend this one ;)

After going through a few VPN offerings including one of the major players, I came across a mention of the Canadian-based "Windscribe" in an article listing the best free VPN offerings. I tried Windscribe's free 10GB/month VPN service and it was both satisfactory and free (great combination; n'est pas!). I have given up on getting a dependable VPN that can access the BBC iPlayer with a consistent HD quality image and refined my needs to finding a low-cost VPN that will allow me to access all the geo-restricted content on American PBS stations instead. Windscribe does just that and for only $2.00 USD per month with their "Build a Plan" option. I actually feel a little 'guilty' I am paying so little for exactly what I want (great combination; n'est pas, encore!!). So far, so good and my PBS viewing is done with a rock solid HD picture hour after hour, day after day. As far as a slowing of the download speeds, I have an ISP that regularly gives me over 950Mbps on a fibre optic network that's also rock solid and reasonably priced. [P.S. If you live in downtown Toronto, Canada, don't even think about another internet service provider if Beanfield Metroconnect is in your service area because they can't be beat by any of the other players for price, quality, and customer service.] Now back to Windscribe...I did have some reservations about the signing up process when I ran into difficulties paying with PayPal and not having the transaction acknowledged. After a few e-mail queries to the Windscribe offices and nothing coming back my way I was more than a little frustrated. However, after the Christmas/New Year holidays were over I got a very competent response from Windscribe apologizing for the delayed response (due to holiday staffing numbers over the holiday period) and I was able to complete my PayPal transaction and have my VPN connection up and running within minutes. My "Build a Plan" is for US-based servers since I need a VPN to watch PBS offerings. However, for whatever reason a few other countries' VPN servers seem also to be active so it's a bonus. My Windscribe UK-based VPN server will not allow me to view either the BBC iPlayer or ITV Hub but they do allow me to view UK-based websites from within the UK so all is well and I can keep calm and carry on albeit without the BBC (c'est dommage, eh!). All in all, I think Windscribe is a reliable, easy to use and inexpensive VPN for most users however, I am not at all concerned with the security aspects of a VPN so read the extensive VPNMentor review above to suss out if Windscribe has the security features you need to stay out of the gulag in your country.
