So i want to buy soon a new Security suite , iam using ATM Surfshark ( happy with it ) and still have 2 years on it.

but as a backup VPN and for other Locations i would like to buy a Security suite with a VPN.

So my question is which doesn suck .

Like from Avast , Avira , bitdefender , kaspersky and more most include them "for free" in their premium subs like Avast Ultimate / One.

Would be great if P2P is allowed , maybe streaming servers , and 10 devices ( will also buy a 10 device license atleast )

Iam eying atm with a Avast Ultimate 3 years for 10 devices sub ( includes VPN ) i could get it pretty cheap

but does the AVast VPN utilize the HMA SERVERS ?

Here are some side-by-side comparisons. The baseline without a VPN is approx 350-370mbps with my isp provider. The below were done on 3 separate PC's, all on the same network. All were set to connect to the fastest server.

Baseline reference:

Bitdefender Premium VPN, which is a stand-alone app.

F-Secure, which is accessed through the app itself.

Kaspersky Plus which is accessed through the app itself..is that correct @harlan4096 as I previously had the Premium stand-alone version.

Nord VPN

F-Secure's VPN is pretty basic but stable. Bitdefender's used to leak, but it looks like they resolved that. It has plenty of features especially on Android (see link below). Kaspersky's is more stable than Bitdefender's even though they both use Hotspot Shield servers.

I haven't tested here the speed with K. VPN, also this kind of tests have a lot of dependency depending on where the server are located...
 
I'm not sure if you've tried Ivacy VPN or what your thoughts on it are. It includes P2P and streaming and supports up to 10 devices, making it an ideal backup VPN for you. You can experiment with it to assess its speed and stability. I lack experience with Ivacy VPN. StackSocial is offering a lifetime subscription for Ivacy VPN on 5 and 10 devices.

Honestly forgot that i have a Lifetime Ivacy sub... paid for it like 19.99 a few years ago they just extended my account by 5 years ( they seem to extend allways by 5 ) and seems to work well actually , they heavily improved from the last time i tried them.

Lifetime Ivacy subscription for 19.99... that's dirt cheap!! is it really for life? Did you carefully read the terms?

Ye when i bought it the only terms regarding run time was " It will be 5 years just contact our support for extensions of 5 years after that whenever it runs out" kinda summed up.

last time i contacted them and they simply credited me 5 more years


basic i guess refers to not having PF included.

That's pretty neat. What's PF by the way?

I use Kaspersky and it's as fast as NordVPN. The only down side is it does not allow custom DNS servers on any platform. Android PrivateDNS is rendered useless. If wasn't fast it would be uninstalled.
p.s. You can't ask a simple question like A or B. They will continue to ignore your question and argue for C & D! You worded your post correctly. I suspect their intelligence has caused their brain to swell and cut off their ablilty to answer the users question. I mean why give an answer to a question no one asked? Ego maybe. They are smarter than us. I think we need a button for removing levels when users answer questions with zero answers to the question presented. Or temporary bans. If you can't ask a straight question without arguing the valididty of the question then why join this forum? I can just argue with my wife!
