[QUOTE="Stopspying, post: 1000533, member: 69368"] I find that since Surfshark started adding more services the VPN has felt very bloated and also seems to be getting neglected in favour of the others. The VPN used to work very well, then they evolved into other areas and it seems to be getting left alone - look at the numerous bugs in it this year, often re-introduced from older releases. That is a good list. I've been using Surfshark, but have had so many issues this year - 'subscription expired' when there is + 1 year remaining, Killswitch not working most of the time, being signed out randomly, having to re-install the software because nothing works at all and currently with v 4.2.2 I can't even get recognised by Surfshark systems. Their CS is rubbish - both the chatbot and email to other bots services. I've had very different suggestions at different times for solutions to the same bug. Currently I am being advised by CS to uninstall ProtonVPN. I've use Surfshark alongside other VPNs for the + 1.5 years that I've had it, they did not conflict previously. I've told them to fix their app, not blame other reliable VPNs. Now that Surfshark seem to be logging (I wonder if they have been forced to admit something) logging was a worry when they moved to the Netherlands, and the repeated issues with each new Windows release I do not recommend Surfshark at all. Surfshark has got worse since they started introducing other services and when it m re-located, coincidences maybe, but I suspect they are related. I'm not sure about being linked to Nord VPN either, Nord don't have a clean track record. I use the above mentioned ProtonVPN, fairly expensive but it does seem to work reliable well. Windscribe - I've had an account with them for years, for some reason I go off of them from time to time, nothing service related, which seems fairly reliable, its more of my sense of wanting to explore other options, but I keep returning to Windscribe, its in operation at this very moment. I used to have Cyberghost, it worked well, but along with other VPNs owned by Kape I steer clear of it now. Adguard VPN - this worked great when it first appeared, since then I've found it fluctuating from good to unusable to slightly better.... My main gripe with it is that their protocol seems to conflict badly with any other VPN, so it only works well on Windows for me when it is the only installed VPN. I can't help but think that this is rather anyi-competative! [/QUOTE]
