Best VPNs

[Sanjeev Nanda]

I know quite a few VPNs that perform well like Hot Spot Shield, Cyber Ghost, etc but anything that goes above that? Any suggestions?

IMO, You need to consider only 2 things for VPNs -

Experience - Speed to connect, latency etc, and Android/iOS app, if any.

Servers - Having servers in other countries, even India, per se.

Been using PIA and has been working properly, they offer a Android App/OpenVPN profiles and a Socks proxy, can use the socks in qbittorrent and other applications

I think with the way the government is heavily relating access to torrent sites etc a VPN is almost a must have. If anyone is considering getting VPN I'd be interested in sharing the cost.

I remember seed box services used to be popular a few years ago

Here's what I've done. Bought a VPS from Aruba IT costing 1 euro a month and installed OpenVPN on it. I get an IP from Italy which lets me access most blocked sites and also maxes out my internet connection (50mbps)

The VPS.

The VPS.

It's still available. Was it out of stock when you tried?

Private Internet Access (PIA) is the best one so far I've tried regarding speed to india.

any good free vpn with good speeds ?

 

[adventureguy]

^ opera browser has inbuilt free VPN. But ofcourse, since its free, you can be sure they're collecting your data

Which vpn on opera? Are you referring to turbo?

 

[adventureguy]

yes. If you go to private window, a vpn option appears on left side of address bar.

There is nothing as free VPN, it beats the purpose of using a VPN and most of the time has lot of restrictions

 

[vivek.krishnan]

I would advice to avoid using the VPN on Opera, hell, I would advice to avoid using Opera itself in the first place now that they belong to a Chinese company.

Instead, look at SecurityKISS for using a free VPN. Else, buy one, its worth it. Buy from StackSocial, they are running several discounts.

Ya I think operas turbo mode vpn steals your privacy. I have been a victim. Here's what i received today:
And even after enabling 2 factor authentication I never received any sms pertaining to any sign-on

how can you connect opera to random sign in attempt of yahoo?

in anyways , yahoo entire database has been breached so I don't suggest anyone to use yahoo for personal stuff. This applies even to opera. Don't use personal and banking stuff when opera vpn is active

 

[nRiTeCh]

As vivek pointed and also as for my practical experience I can say that.

Coz its only on opera with turbo on that m using that yahoo id since 3 months now. And today I received this email on alternate id that I was logged in successfully in Germany.

Why didnt my others logins got hacked in Edge and Firefox which have been kept logged in since more than 8 months or more.

 

[adventureguy]

because its not your logins that got hacked. It is yahoo database that got hacked.
