Hello, all
I’m sorry if there is an FAQ somewhere. My VPN is about enter it’s yearly billing cycle and I thought I would come over here and see if anyone had a better suggestion. I’ve been using IPvanish for the last 10 years and have been pretty satisfied. I picked it by going into the darkweb and seeing what the criminals recommended to each other.
If anyone has other suggestions or tales before I renew, I would love to check it out.
Njalla, hands down.
Co-founded by Peter Sunde of The Pirate Bay fame. Run by a great little crew that cares about privacy. They do VPN, domains, and hosting.
Wireguard and OpenVPN. Your external IP periodically rotates through the pool, but at least all ports are forwarded.
Too bad almost nobody knows about them. They even have a Wiki page, ffs!
Tailscale Mullvad combo
Firefox VPN is cheaper isn’t it, and funds the Firefox nonprofit?
Don’t know if Tor proxy front ends like Orbot or Carburetor count as a VPNs. If so, I highly recommend them.
Top 3 for me are IVPN, Proton VPN and Mullvad.
I personally use Proton VPN because it has lot’s of servers to choose from.
I suggest using https://www.techlore.tech/vpn to compare VPNs and see which one has the features you want.
I recently started using WireGuard hosted on elest.io platform It works realy well, we are a 4 people company full time using it and i pay around $15usd a month with a dedicated ip It’s self hosting made easy https://elest.io/open-source/wg-easy

Airvpn is perfect for my needs (torrenting)
Proton or mulvad
I love Mullvad but for some reason they refuse to add reverse split tunneling, so imo the only options are IVPN or Proton.
Reverse split tunneling gives you the ability of using the VPN only in the apps/programs you select.
You can set up split tunneling yourself if you run the wireguard/OpenVPN daemon manually and move the “mouth” of the tunnel to a separate Linux network namespace.
Last time I researched it I didn’t found easy answers. Do you have an easy script?
https://nym.com/ is great.
Ive never had an issue with PIA, CHEAP as hell on a 3 year plan with an affiliate link and they run their servers on RAM Disk so no logging
Mullvad.
Windscribe or Mullvad. I personally use Windscribe and it has some really good features and so far they have a really good reputation in privacy circles.
mullvad but you cant seed while torrenting with it due to no port forwarding
You can seed, it’s just slow. It’ll only connect to other users that have closed ports. With ports open, it’ll connect to both, but as said not possible with Mullvad with port forwarding disabled. That’s at least as far as I know
airvpn seemed nice but i havent tried it.
It’s very good. I download a lot of obscure torrents so I wanted port forwarding, and it’s very simple to set up. The user experience is great. The only part they could work on is the desktop client, but I needed split tunneling so I use a third party one anyways. But I’ve never had any noticeable slowdown and it’s very stable.
