PIA VPN works great for me. Pros: - There are many different regions to choose from: European, U.S., Asia, Australia, and more. - It has Wireguard and OpenVPN support and you can request port forwarding for some regions - It allows users to bypass the VPN for specific programs - You can use a double VPN (ShadowSocks) - Their tech support is helpful for most inquiries - It can be used on up to 10 devices simultaneously - It is compatible with many other security programs such as Portmaster - There is an extension for the BiglyBT torrent client and PIA is integrated in other programs as well Cons: - You cannot renew your account with cryptocurrency, you have to create a fresh account to get PIA VPN after your subscription has expired. - Many of their IPs have been used for nefarious purposes and are therefore banned by some websites (e.g. https://www.willhaben.at/) - Their default encryption setting is AES-128, you have to manually set it to AES-256 to get stronger encryption
