Best VPN's using Bitcoin?

[John (John K.)]

Hey all,

With the recent NSA antics, I'm finally convinced myself to get a VPN before it's too late.  I've looked at a couple of VPN's like PIA (the one sponsoring the forums) and AirVPN, but I'm still undecided. Is there any suggestions you guys can give me here?

Requirements:
- Payable with Bitcoins
- FAST speeds, low pings
- Reliable
- No logging
- Multidevices possible, e.g.: I want to connect my phone and laptop at once.

Hopefully:
- Many servers to choose from
- Asian servers (Singapore/Hong Kong?)
- Price isn't too crazy (But I'm prepared to pay an upwards of $60+ a year if you can convince me it's worth it)

Thanks guys!

Bitcoin:

If you can pay with webmoney
http://www.doublevpn.com/ (Russia)
http://www.vip72.com/VPN/ (Russia)


or you can setup your own.

Might also add to the list where their office/people are located (as in country) ? Could be important to know.

hideman.net (Russia)
cryptovpn.com (Russia)

Both I've tried and good.

I use AIrVPN for *all of my home Internet traffic and have been happy with speeds and latencies so far. They don't have an automatic way to set up multiple device access, but apparently if you contact them they'll set you up manually with a plan.


* except for encrypted and anonymized traffic like Tor, I2P, and Freenet. There's no point routing those through the VPN.

+1 for cryptovpn, I've also used them before and they accept bitcoin.

ZorroVPN has many locations and you can link servers together along with TOR easily.
Versavpn has PPTP, l2tp and openvpn so you can access on all devices. They also have a good variety of locations but most are in NA or Europe.
Ccrypto is very cheap but they only have 1 server in France.

Those are some of the ones I've tried and liked so far.

The one thing that kills me about having to decide between these services when its VPN shopping time is that if I were the NSA, MI5, Mossad, CIA, etc, I would sprinkle these things around the globe and snoop all the traffic.

Indeed, people using VPN/TOR usually have something to hide. That's what they think perhaps

I've been using torguard.net for a few months now, very affordable and reliable.

Where did you get that information?

And what about the TOS?

[John (John K.)]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Now I have even more to choose - not sure if that's a good thing or not.

Any PRISM proof VPN's? I don't have anything to hide but I would prefer nobody's watching over me...

You give the information you want, if you say that your name is Jack Sparrow from the Caribbean, that's the information they have to give.

You can read reviews about this service at TorrentFreak, here's the latest:

It was also discussed at Pirate Bay Forum...

They are specialize in protecting people who shares files over the Internet, it is legal in my country, but it is a crime in many countries arround the world, if they don't protect their users identity, they are not gonna make it in this business.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Is the speed for torguard good? What's the countries where they have servers?

Any example speeds and ping? I'm leaning towards AirVPN currently especially considering their status page here: https://airvpn.org/status/

You have to try some servers to find the best speed for you, one server on port 80 might be shitty but if you try that same server at port 443 it might be great.

When downloading torrents I can get up to 4 mb/s, don't remember if got higher than this...

They have PPTP, L2TP and OpenVPN, I only use OpenVPN.

OpenVPN servers at: Canada, Netherlands, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Iceland, India, Switzerland, USA and UK, you cannot use torrents in the USA servers.

Random check Speedtest.net just gave me 144 ms ping, 5.7 Mbps down / 0.75 Mbps up. Actual speeds are somewhat higher because I was using the connection for other things at the same time.

As far as your PRISM question goes, you can configure OpenVPN to use a SOCKS proxy, which means you can connect to AirVPN via Tor if you want and that is a configuration they support. It does come at a performance cost though.

  TORRENT BTC VPN

complain and get your coins back

[LeTanque]

I used private internet access and I'm a little worried no one has mentioned them.  Any experience with them?

Accepts bitcoin.  Fast.  Multiple access points across the world.  No logging.
