Any VPN suggestions? I’ve been using Nord for a while and I’m thinking about changing

why do you need one?

Depending on your "needs", ProtonVPN is my current goto, it be friendly on the seven seas me matey.

I use the free plan of ProtonVPN its good so far

@C0D4 lol you fell for the youtube sponsor ads? :D

Nord is so overpriced... so expensive for just a VPN!

You can search Slashdot Deals for some lifetime subscriptions.

I went with SlickVPN - $20 one time payment, seems to work fine.

@Nihil75 nope, I already use protonmail.

The vpn I was using before had dns leakage on windows and changing my network settings every time was a pain in the ass to deal with it.

Proton doesn't have this issue with the desktop client which was surprising.

I've been using Mullvad VPN for a while now and I think it's pretty good. Flat fee of 5 EUR/month with no price tiers or bulk discounts or anything. It doesn't even ask for your email when you sign up. You just get an account number.

@C0D4 sry! tagged you for no reason :P

Depends on your need. I've been using ProtonVPN for a while now and it seems good. Thinking of giving IVPN a try. Both are on the same page on privacy matters I think and Proton has servers in more locations than IVPN.

I've used Nord VPN for a while now, after switching from PIA. Nord VPN might be pricey, but I need VPN to fake my presence in a particular country and the cheap / free ones aren't fast enough.

If you talk to support and mention you want to stop your subscription you might get a good offer to stay.

At least that's what they did for me. I love nord except for it's pricing

Depends on your needs. I only need a VPN if I‘m in a network I don’t trust. So a VPN to my own router at home is my first choice. It‘s free forever without limits and no logging.

@netikras Mostly for privacy

@C0D4 @gitpush ProtonVPN seems good so i'll use that, thanks!

Privacy.. As in connecting your laptop to your pc through a vpn? Or browsing internet through an alternative ip? Or perhaps you have a different understanding of 'privacy'?

If you only need an ip swapping, why not just get some cheapo vps or any other server w/ ssh access and use a socks proxy through it? There are lots of free options too
