I am using Windscribe and I should say that it is working without any problems

I use nord but I keeps kicking up issues with google thinking I'm a bot and having to use captcha loads, getting frustrating

[Mituletr]

I use a paid VPN, but it doesn't work well recently.

[Kudrowet]

The free VPN I used before has been unavailable recently and has been restricted from use.

[Leonnuvh]

I also want to use VPN to watch some foreign videos, but I couldn't find a free one.

[Aylinstar]

Yes, sometimes I need to use VPN, when I can't access some websites, and I think accessing some websites using VPN increases the speed 

[Melignya]

Yes, but very rarely.

[Jolankaa]

no

[Melignya]

Sometimes, very rarely

Recently I tried using VPN but not working on my device

[marbet85]

Of course, but VPS are better guys!

[Luka0321]

Yes, I use surfshark, mostly just so I can access URLs that my ISP has blocked.

[WNTRjon]

For 99% of my web surfing, I do not use a VPN. There is some testing I do with various websites that requires me to use a VPN sometimes.

I don't used VPN because to me is a scam and a way to hacked into your privacy, if you are not careful the VPN provider can see and mess with all your traffic.
VPNs don't inherently protect your privacy or give you anonymity. VPNs simply divert all of your internet traffic from going to your internet provider's systems into the VPN provider's systems instead.
I hope this can be a lesson to people using it.

[Yalalagh]

I use but very rarely, in fact I understand why some sites are blocked in other countries, but if there is a method to bypass the blocking, then why do you need it at all?

[Famith]

Why not? You can use VPN easily browse the web pages you want to know when you are on another international business trip. As long as the use is not in the law, I support the use of VPN.

[SultanNasirUddin]

Yes

So I'm interested if people use VPNs and if so, which ones. Last week I decided that I need to get one. Did some research and right now I'm thinking between Surfshark, Vypr, TunnelBear. I'm particularly interested in surfshark more as it seems there's a lot of positive vibe around them on the web.

I use opera browser it has vpn by defaul

I used it until it caused me to lose the Internet. VPN is convenient. Because not all sites are allowed to your location. I don't really want anyone to see where I am. I used to have it always on. Then for some reason I started losing the Internet. I contacted support. And they told me that it was my routerlogin net. It turns out that if you are connected to multiple networks at the same time it may be because the router input network is not working. In this case I had to just turn off the VPN and it worked.

What do you mean that you lose your internet once you used or activated the vpn ? There are thousands of people using VPN and face no issue in their internet usage.
Maybe you didn't know how to configure VPN or you are using any free VPN
