Hey gang,

I've always avoided adding a paid VPN because I was worried about losing too much speed, but I now how a pretty fast connection.  Thinking of adding a VPN.  Interested in the security but also being able to tap into the American version of Netflix.  Any suggestions?  Your experience in which ones can be trusted is appreciated.  I am leaning toward CyberGhost at this point...

Cheers!

I use my son subscription on Private Internet Access 

I did NOT study the different possibilities myself ....

He told me not only they have a GOOD ratio cost benefits

it's safe since they don't keep records of their customers  usage 

Have a GOOD day

I use Protonmail VPN. The free version. Works great. They have affordable plans, too.

I've been using NordVPN for several years now and have it always on.

Very reasonably priced, very fast, no logs. Works to access Netflicks, etc.

Works very well, no serious complaints.

I don't access U.S. Netflicks myself but I do think you need to have a U.S. billing address.

Also, my belief (and I stand to be corrected), is if you want a good, fast, no logs, reliable VPN you need to pay for it! Period! You get what you pay for as they say!

Use Nord as well.  Speeds are fast, but sometimes the connection is a bit flaky or drops.  Switching to a different city usually fixes it.  I sometimes use it to watch shows from the UK and it's always been fast. 

There are several comparison sites out there - sorry, I deleted my bookmarks, so can't give you a specific site.  Just be careful, some of the comparison sites are just shills for a particular (and often obscure/questionable) vpn service.  

If you check at places like CNET you should be able to find some solid reviews & comparisons.

Hi KemptvilleGuy

I use a free one with my Web browser, it does the trick and no bandwidth limitations (Firefox / SetupVPN for life) get me through blocked sites. 

Hope it helps
