Ask HN: Recommendations for a VPN provider?

10 points by chabeligian ↗ HN
I'm interested in setting up my connection here in the west coast of the US through a VPN. There seem to be a plethora of options--does anyone have any recommendations?

Price isn't really a concern for me. I'm concerned more with speed and reliability, as well as the usual privacy features (no logs kept, etc).

I use Private Internet Access, it works incredibly well.

Their site really needs a redesign, though.

I use PIA and it works great. Their website design is not representative of their service at all.

I've been using boxpn for a couple years now. Speeds are good, service reliable, etc...

VyprVPN from Golden Frog is an excellent choice, and their support is 24/7/365 if you have connection issues.

I'm on their trial now. Quick and their app makes it painless to get up and running.

I'm using torguard and must say I'm pretty happy with them. You can use your login/password for up to 5 computers, which is handy, the setup is fairly easy. I needed some advanced setup options but since they support OpenVPN everything worked great! Their support center is responsive + the guy a Greek Server which serves me well when I'm abroad.

On the security side they state that no logs are kept, security is paramount and so on. I've found this VPN provider through a torrentfreak post which was listing the top10 most secure VPN providers for 'torrent' downloading. I don't use it for downloading illegal material, but I guess most people do, hence I believe they (TorGuard) wouldn't really wanna know what their users are doing online. :-)

cheers!

I would highly recommend PureVPN, it's awesome, it's easy to set up and i use PureVPN to watch Netflix, Hulu, Bbc iplayer and any other blocked websites outside of US. http://www.purevpn.com/
