Bravo Brian, this article is worth the time

 

[ajack46]

A very good article i must say, have used Astrill and Purevpn works great.

I didn't see Hidemyass VPN and was wondering how it stacks up against IPVanish.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

IPVanish is much better , probably the best in my opinion.

 

[Ronald Ruffner]

Thanks SR-71 for your response to my inquiry, but do you know where they have a comparison of HMA and IPVanish? I'm probably going to test out IPVanish as I've used HMA and didn't seem to have a problem with it, yet they cost about the same.

 

[ajack46]

IP Vanish must be having some money back option as well, so you can always try it out.

Thanks for using HMA A search turns up several results on "HMA vs. X" and "HMA comparisons" if you're looking for opinions from around the web.

Here's a recent review: http://www.pcmag.com/review/343171/hide-my-ass-vpn

If anyone has any questions on HMA I'll be happy to help. Lots of answers here too: https://support.hidemyass.com/hc/en-us/categories/200181116-Knowledge-Base

Huge Fan of IP Vanish.

I've used IPVanish in the past. I had no problems with it and it was simple and fast to use. It's been a while since I've used a VPN and am currently in the market at the moment for a VPN service. I found a site which did a side-by-side comparison of many VPN services and there was one from Sweden or something like that. Their security measures used seemed a notch ahead of the others but I completely forgot their name. I'll probably get IPVanish again but I'm pretty open to reading about other recommendations as well

 

[ajack46]

PureVPN is worth giving a try. Although they do not offer a free trial but have a 7 day money back offer.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I agree IPVanish is great and affordable.

 

[ajack46]

VPN service is really effective to ensure your online security. IPVanish is one of the best VPN services. It has some excellent features that protect you from online threats.

Can you identify some of those features for that instance. Just asking

I think SR 71 Likes IP Vanish just saying


personally I prefer to use https://www.expressvpn.com/ more expensive than IP Vashing, (unless you pay 60/6month but if you pay the yearly price its 8.30/month.. but monthly is 13.00

 

[Morble]

Of your criteria, the most important should have been privacy. Does the VPN keep connection logs? Do they keep logs of where you are going or what services you ae using? The best VPN.s, in my opinion, are the ones that have a "No logging" privacy policy....so even if served with subpoenas for records, there are none to give. Should have been the most important point in an article on 'Virtual PRIVATE Networks'. No?

 

[James_carton00]

I agree with the NORD VPN is the best VPN in my analysis because too much server and internet freedom and privacy to all in one personally use with no issue in speed and auto kill switch enables. In my recommendation NORD VPN :

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Just went with NordVPN $79.00 \ 2 years , couldn't pass it up. Usually go with IPVanish but this price is unbeatable.

 

[zeroplanet9]

Tor Guard is what I use

 

[MastiffShack]

Have used NordVPN for three years now. All others on list appear to retain IP traffic logs of the user; especially in US where laws are more strict. Great support service w/NordVPN too.

 

[CuddlyPop]

I'm for NordVPN. As many have tried it performed for me best.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

I agree Nord is great.

 

[Alezzane]

Inaccurate review. Nord should get really more points. It's download speed reaches nearly ISPs, they provide high security level and like SR-71 BLACKBIRD mentioned their offer 2y for 79$ is unbeatable, where you pay for 1 year express more and have the same (for example with US servers it performed me even worst).

 

[SaberSter]

NordVPN performs better than described. From my point of view it should be rated as #1 or at least #2

 

[AholicMister]

I'm using Nord for three months and I don't have any issues with performance. Speed reduces just around 7%. Big bonus they have 24/7 support team via live chat
