What do you use everyday for Internet browsing and downloads? I'm feeling the urge to start using a VPN since where I live, the network is shared with hundred of people. Thank you!
I'll stick with PIA for the foreseeable future because it's OpenVPN-based and they allow me to choose my cipher. I get great speeds from every location I've used, and they have quite a large number of locations. That's all I want in my VPN.
I've only used Private Internet Access, Air VPN and Hotspot shield.
But i'd recommend Airvpn.
The problem I had with the other two VPN's I tried was the lack of decent port forwarding. PIA has port forwarding for some of their servers but you can only forward one port. I haven't been able to play games like hearthstone while having the VPN enabled because it needs multiple ports forwarded and I haven't been able to torrent while using a nearby PIA server since the closest server that can port forward is France. Hotspot shield blocks torrents and can be slow so I don't recommend it.

One of the founders sometimes comments on HN, which to me is another good sign.
