I'm one of these Texas motherfuckers getting fucked with by this dumb shit. I am in the market for a cheap, effective VPN.
I'm thinking about trying Express VPN, but I haven't had time to do all the comparison shopping for which one is actually best. I don't need a shitload of different devices, all at once. At most, I need to maybe cover one desktop PC and two WiFi devices. But I'd be cool with just one seat.
Anyone got recommendations?
Mullvad VPN is my go-to. No nonsense and meets all of my needs.
Hadn't even heard of them. I'll look into it. Thank you!
I love the fact that you put money in monthly like putting money in a meter. Really makes it feel anonymous with the no username or passwords.
I'm using Private Internet Access. It was purchased by a company some people think are sketchy, but they work well in my experience and are cheap. If you really need security that you trust, maybe go somewhere else. If you just need a VPN that works and is cheap, it's an option.
I just heard that Express VPN was bought by a shady company, too. I wonder if it's the same one.
EDIT: Yep. It's the same one. Kape technologies. They are apparently pretty evil.
Try WindScribe. You won’t regret it.
$69 for a yearly plan. They know what it's being used for.

This is mine as well, I like the price I like ControlD (the company’s other product) and I like that it’s not Nord or surfshark that’s good enough for me lol
I’d recommend proton vpn. They have a few other services like email and password managers but there free tier is more than adequate
Well, holy fuck! I already have a Protonmail account, so I guess all I need to do is download the VPN app. I'll fuck with that, later. Thanks for reminding me this exists!
No problemo
My recommendation is to run your own instance of something like OpenVPN on a $5/month Digital Ocean droplet tbh
While a good approach, this is not really possible for a majority of non-tech people.
Sure, I recognize that there are folks who won't be able to pull it off, but there are also loads who can - And don't know about options like OpenVPN. Figured it was worth a mention.
