[QUOTE="jetman, post: 915857, member: 63028"] I like to use different VPNs for different purposes. For instance VPN Unlimited (which Stack Social are more or less giving away if you use their Black Friday discount code) is great for unlocking overseas streaming services. However, I wouldn't trust it for privacy or security purposes. Services like Mullvad are going to be much better from a privacy point of view and are best for everyday use. Windscribe has lots of great features and works very well from a security perspective. It also worth remembering that nobody is really checking whether these VPNs keep logs or not. I don't necessarily believe the privacy statements on the VPN companies websites. It makes sense that they collect some information when you log in- as a minimum, they need to make sure that you are a piad user of the service and where your connection is coming from. (ie if there are multiple locations from all over the world, then its a sure sign that your account is being abused so there will certainly be ways of detecting that). Personally, I prefer the VPNs of well-known European security companies (F-Secure, Avira etc). I am more inclined to trust what they say as a) they have a reputaion to protect b) you can identify who they are and where they are based, and c) their software likely to be better engineered and updated compared to some no-name developer.
