So I'm interested if others use VPNs. I got mine last month and only now I fully understood the importance of online security.

BTW, I'm a surfshark user. Any others?

I use NordVPN, and have for several years (before their huge advertising push). Use it at home and when traveling with no issue.

I also use NordVPN, and only have a problem occasionally.

Every now and then (happened once this week) a server will come under hacking attack by those who don't want us to have privacy/security. The symptom is that you can't get any site to connect. I just simply switched to another server and continued working.

There are also a few (less than there were last year) sites that will refuse a connection to a NordVPN server. Some government and some banking sites, but I think recently, they updated their policy, so that may be a problem of the past.

Do you mean "that's really cool" ergo EPIC! or... there's a VPN called Epic?


(My first thought was 'Wow, he really likes Anyconnect!' )

Private Internet Access. Low overhead and never had a significant problem.

I was thinking Electronic Privacy Information Center.
Don't know if they have a VPN or not.

Friendly tip for people looking at VPN providers. For security and privacy reasons try to avoid VPN providers based in 14 eyes countries. These companies have to cooperate with federal agencies in case of an investigation and provide information about you. In this case, there's a possibility that they keep logs of your activity, no matter what they state officially.
