Hello all, I am currently looking into a new VPN. I have no limit on the budget and I require the VPN to keep no logs, have decent encryption, lots of servers and to be fast. Any ideas of which provider is best?

If I follow you, consider your self lucky, I rarely follow people and when I do it's either because

I use them at the moment, haven't had a problem, costs approx $40 a year, no logging etc and plenty of servers. I get approx 65Mbps out of my approx 70Mbps capable speed at all times.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

PIA is what I recommend to people because their lawyer is awesome and knows his stuff. I have an account with them but I don't use it personally because I like having control over my stuff and I have a lot of IPs available to me. :)

I've just been with PIA and had the worst experience with them, their software caused my system network drivers to corrupt meaning I had to restore and their software is terrible

You can do a command prompt netsh winsocks reset and that usually fixes anything that PIA tweaks in the network settings. I don't use the PIA software, I use OpenVPN's GUI. The other benefit to PIA is you can pay with gift cards if you don't want to use your address and all that information.

You don't have to use their software, they have instructions on how to manually connect to their VPN servers using different protocols.

Isn't tunnel bear available only for Android and mobile devices?

At least that's what it seemed when I visited their webpage.

I used to use SurfEasy VPN (the company associated with Opera) because they give up to 1.5GB/month freely by doing some tasks & stuff.

However... that kinda made me think that they don't reeeally make me more private, but guess I'm not explaining myself very well either.

Anyway, comments about SurfEasy VPN?

Been using PIA for years and have been very happy.

Had no issues with the desktop client or using OpenVPN.

Ok I'll go back with PIA but can somebody give me a way to make the  anti DNS leak option stable?
