theres no best free vpn service because they all have to sacrifice somewhere.

 

the best paid option is renting a VPS with a decent connection and host it yourself.

Both are HotSpot Shield for me. 

 

The free version doesn't have ridiculous bandwidth caps, and you can get random trials of the elite version. 

 

The elite version gives you access to IP addresses other than US, and you get a license to use it on 5 devices at a time.

Free VPN? Probably none.

Paid VPN? You could host your own, but if you don't want to, VyprVPN, ExpressVPN and nVPN are pretty good. Depends what you want to do

I don't know how to host my own, is it cheaper and easier?

Little too expensive it seems.

Cyberghost: If you're not torrenting, the free one is all you need. If you want to torrent, the paid one will do that and is cheap compared to most VPNs. Lots of location choices too.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Apparently they log on their servers.

Of course they do. Serious companies do that. Cyberghost is a German company though, and have never been reported to have given out anyone's information. They probably only would in grave criminal cases.

Did you see that it was a mistake. Nordvpn actually replied to the post. 

 

 

Hey, it's Chris here from NordVPN. I stumbled upon your thread on twitter and thought that it would be best to clarify this issue. First of all many thanks for finding this error, we appreciate your professionalism. We did investigate this issue and found out, that this was not intended to be this way. One of our ex-developers made his work easier with this "workaround". The server status bars originally intended to show real server status, not like this. Now this issue is on our to-do list and we'll fix it asap. Again, many thanks for finding this error, we appreciate your help. Chris
