Poll Which VPN service would you recommend? Why?
Mullvad! <3
The lightest, fastest on my Fiber and the cheapest
I would agree! Mullvad, with wireguard is just rock solid! Add to that the ability to bind apps to the VPN via socks5, and it's just the best VPN I've used.
On a budget - VPN Unlimitied by a mile.
For overall features and flexibility - Windscribe
Because I have a fetish for it - ViprVPN - good speeds, very frequent and cheap deals, good security policy, excellent customer support. Purple app.
Special vote of appreciation for Nord and SurfShark, though. Their websites make them look like ghoulish false-dream hawkers, but the software and service provided by both is very good.
Vote of abomination for WeVPN - most overrated piece of s-h-i-t client. Frequently said connected when it wasn't. No fix from customer services. A SmartDNS service that's redundant if you're not a yank and too much cum in their mouths from YouTube reviewers.
EDIT I nearly forgot - AdGuard is superb if streaming isn't a major consideration, although they're bringing it on board. Otherwise it's generally the fastest VPN you can buy and costs almost nothing (40USD for 5 years I think I paid).

AdGuard VPN? Really??!? That is by far the worst VPN there is! If you can connect at all (notice I said *if*) speeds are slow. The gui is archaic, lacking any real features. You can't even select which protocol you want to use! Nooope! I cannot recommend Adguard VPN and all. Like Monty Python says, "run away!"
None anymore. All the VPN servers have been blacklisted and it's a chore to browse the web on a VPN. Before it was liberating. Now your IP gets blocked, you run into thousands of captchas, you have even fewer streaming choices, finally my Gigabit Internet gets reduced to 30-200 Mbps at best and the ping is ridiculous. I think most VPNs including paid ones are selling your data. All you do is add another hop to your traffic. You're not tricking anyone. Sites still know it's you by your fingerprint, device information, browser, typing speed and cursor patterns even.
I just use WARP by Cloudflare. Maybe not the traditional "VPN", but it serves me right...
I guess you're not doing it right.
How many protocols do you need to be the best?
5 minutes ago to my fastest usual overseas server.
Nord 123.97 Mbps down 41.72 up
SurfShark 153.79 / 44.70
TorGuard 134.95 / 44.34
AdGuard 161.74 / 33.09
(It passed the extended DNSleaktestcom test., although I couldn't be bothered to test the others too.)
I paid $39.99 for a five year deal. I can live with an 'archaic' gui when it costs maybe $200+ less than the competition.
Like I said, there's no mention of protocol with AdGuard VPN. Does it use OpenVPN (TCP/UDP), Wireguard, PPTP, IPSec, etc, no one knows? What kind of encryption does it use? No one knows. And, what the hell kind of VPN logs timestamps? Not a good one. They themselves told me they collect them, despite claiming to be a "no logs" service. They display no warrant canary info. What jurisdiction are they under? You can’t use cryptocurrency to pay. There's no much unknown about the service. It seems like they are purposefully withholding info from us about things mentioned here, and that's not good.

I am suspicious of SurfShark because they dont say who they are or where they are based (the business is registered in the British Virgin Isles but I doubt they are based there). If they wont say who they are then they cant be held to account. So why should I believe anything they say? it could be run by the Chinese state for all I know. I like to know who I am dealing with which is why I choose Windscribe and F-Secure Freedome.
I'm more sympathetic to this.
They installed they're antivirus "service" and had it running even though I'm not subscribed to the AV. They said it does "nothing" without a sub - I call BS on that.
I also found plain text records with timestamps on my machine which although, only loosely associated with DNS providers, definitely could correlate with, and provide evidence of, browsing activity. to any FBI who may be after me.
Check your AppData folder sometime - they all do.
As AdGuard states
"We do not store activity logs or connection logs of our users. AdGuard VPN does collect minimal information about the usage of our services in order to identify and address technical issues, but this information cannot be used to connect you to any specific activity or behavior."
They store no more than anyone else.
They are registered to Netherlands also look at chapter 3

Hi man, you recently told me this: Introducing WireGuard over TCP and IPv6 - Blog | Mullvad VPN
Will this come to order VPNs like ProtonVPN? I thought to know your idea?
Doubtful. If it hasn't by now it's unlikely to ever get added to any other established VPN. There are only two that I am aware of that offer this; Mullvad and Hide.me.
Used AdGuard extension & also used Hideaway (not concurrently) which probably has limitations but I'm now thinking all VPN's have extensive limitations, but for me maybe prevent some surveillance in the UK from government via ISP - if not with those two VPN's I lose no speed at all, I pay good money for a decent connection to see it throttled by most VPN's.
