VPN recommendations

[Losbot]

I searched the board and it's apparently been a few years since we've discussed this. I'm looking for a new VPN service. Any out there that you all are using or would recommend?

I've been using proXPN since 2016. Works very well. I grabbed a lifetime license for cheap when it went on sale.

I did the same but it hasn't been working very well for me. Are you using their app or something?

[FlyingPenguin]

Windows App on my laptop and a VM I use for Torrents. Never used it on Android. Download speeds are good. There used to be a bit of DNS latency but I fixed that by setting up Firefox to use DNS-over-HTTPS which helped a lot.

Location makes a difference too. I generally use Toronto, Canada.

I easily get 2GB/s downloads.

Strange. I use Toronto as well, as that used to be the best one for me.
I need to investigate this further.

I also have the proxpn license but dont use it much since it suffers quite a bit speedwise for me too. I'll have to poke at it some more if Bob's is running well.

I've found Toronto and Singapore servers worked well in the past. I'm gonna set it up on a fresh VM I just spun up.

anyone using a router based VPN?

I use my Edgerouter X for VPN. It's a basic L2TP IPSec VPN. My home upload is only 20Mbps, so performance isn't awesome, but it gets the job done for browsing and checking the home security cams while traveling.
