Title: Search for a good VPN
Post by: jambola2 on September 09, 2014, 03:27:22 PM
I'm looking for a good VPN service, and hopefully a way to purchase them in Bitcoins. (Not necessary that they accept Bitcoin, but it would be awesome)

I've currently looked at Tunnel Bear and WTFast.

My main aims are :-

1- VPN to bypass blocked content

2- Usable on multiple computers (A windows 7 desktop and a macbook pro). I won't be using them simultaneously, but there needs to be some sort of way to easily shift which one uses the VPN.

3- Speed. I've tried a lot of free VPNs and they have horrible speeds. WTFast promises better speeds which makes them interesting.

Which of these is better ? Any way to use them on multiple PCs ?
Any other ones you would recommend ?
And finally, any Bitcoin accepting VPNs ?

Remembered Private Internet access.

Accepts Bitcoin, at half the cost of WTFast.

But, before I buy it I'd like some sort of review. Anyone used them before ? Are there any disadvantages that come with a reduced price tag ?

There are more good VPNs that accept Bitcoin and offer great protocols which help you to bypass blocked content and compatible with Windows 7, Mac and other devices.. For good speed with VPN you should have high MB internet service. Yes PIA is best with cheap price and accept bitcoin with this I would recommend PureVPN, and ExpressVPN you can check out this list

Only Express, VPN4all and PIA have https, allowing me to see them.

PIA costs 3.33$ per month with the best plan, Express costs around 8$ and VPN4All costs around 15$.

I don't see any advantages in them, and PIA is still better because it allows usage in 5 devices.

Please don't just post a review site, tell me which one is better than PIA and why.
I'm going to close this in around a week, if I don't have an answer, I will consider PIA the best and buy it.

I think it has a limited number of ips, most likely abuse by other members. I saw other vpn that has up to 260k ips. Almost every country has an ip.

There are many VPN service providers in the market but the best i can suggest you will be any provider which have fresh and unused ips.I was using Hidemyass and hotspotschield for a very long time but lately i found that these are not worth.These days i have been using the  tunnelbear which is also not so bad.

I use PrivateInternetAccess (Sponsor of this forum) as well as a VPS with OpenVPN installed.

Use the VPN what this forum uses which is what others mentioned already.

Its actually affordable and better compared to most as in ip`s etc.

Thanks, that finalises it.

My question now is, should I buy it monthly, anticipating a price rise in Bitcoin fast enough, that the discounted yearly price wouldn't be worth it, or buy it yearly, not expecting a rise in Bitcoin :P

If you are buying with bitcoins then monthly plan would be wise to choose.

If you buy for a year you will have a discount, it will cost you 40-100$ so you will not loose much or anything if you buy for a year except if 100$ worth of bitcoins is a big percentage of your holdings

What about strongvpn?

IPvanish is terrible. I can't even load reddit (which is mostly text) on a single USA VPN of theirs. Would not recommend.

I highly recommend Mullvad - they accept BTC and allow you to use on multiple computers simultaneously.

I once sent them far too much by mistake and they refunded me without any problems.
