Usually the best VPN is the one you can create trough your hardware based firewall & router or the one provided by your ISP.
However in some nations notable US, Russia and most Asian nations these VPN's are not as safe as they are often monitored or have some sort of traffic data gathering due to local laws. However we EU citizens are fortunate that we do not have that problem.
Obviously premium VPN's are usually not bad however as mentioned in my reply the ones provided by your ISP or by your router are far better.
And insanely faster then ANY commercial product.
Cheers

I have heard good things about Cyberghost on MT. Thus far I have only used VPN-like extensions, Zenmate & DotVPN with Chromium sourced browsers & Blur on Mozilla. Living in the U.S., rather than unlocking blocked sites, my greater cares could be summed up by Blur's former name, do-not-track-me.

The subject of this thread, free VPNs, and then reading of the contrasts between The E.U. from Asia, Russia, and The U.S, fascinates me! Thanks @Nico@FMA for your revelations illustrating disparate views of privacy infringment by both government & hackers. Having resided in the U.S. my entire life, our citizenry (imho) experience greater fear over personal attacks involving subsequent and fraudulent purchases/or money transfers. It has seemed our fears & concerns over data gathering by our U.S. government have been transferred from no.1 to second fiddle to our dread of being fleeced (no pun intended @ElectricSheep!!). My views have become further expanded. I hope it doesn't stop!

Well i see however i did not mean to say that within the mentioned nations the VPN's provided by your ISP are so bad or anything like that.
But for example the patriot act and its sister acts specifically mention that ISP and VPN providers need to maintain a law enforcement standard that does allow them to tap into your traffic if required. and these settings are configured by default to be open.
Here in the EU we have a similar system but its different as the router we have to connect to our ISP and the connections made from point A to be are closed by default. SO if i where to make a VPN connection using the routers interface then its secure period.
However if law enforcement needs to have access to my connection for whatever reason then they have to break into it, or force the ISP to keep records of the VPN connections so they can decode them and eventually read them.
In the end its pretty much the same, however they would require a court order (A real one...lol not a pre written one) So if law enforcement where to just harvest info without having a case against me then this would be impossible unless they directly hack my connection or tap into the ISP grid without telling anyone.
Just making sure..

CyberGhost is definitely the best, however CyberGhost is not free nor is offering a never expiring free trial like SecurityKISS Tunnel VPN Green (Free plan).

Some of the best VPN's are not even listed.
What about SecurityKiss? HideAllIP?, HideMyIP? TunnellBear? OpenVPN?
If you want an honest contest you have to list more than a few sucky ones and the one you want to win because Cyber Ghost IMHO sucks, SecurityKiss beats them all hands down as far as connectivity, speed and ease of use goes.

Cyber Ghost is a good one but If I had to personally choose one that is privacy-related I'd go with Crypto Storm as I am familiar with it and it provides extra security.
