Which product is the best for VPN?

@phenomlab said in Best VPN:
@jac the last time I looked into getting a VPN client service was around 2 years ago, so given how SurfShark is relatively new, it’s probably why it didn’t popup for me before.
I don’t think it’s too new is it? I’ve definitely seen it around a fair few times over the past few years when I’ve looked into it, which in all honesty is something I probably should have got years back.
@jac really ? I was under the impression from @gotwf that it was only released in the last year or so. I may be wrong though ?

@phenomlab I think it was released a few years back, I’ll check…

@phenomlab launched in 2018 mate.

@gotwf Thanks. This is more for the application and network security though. There’s no attestation that I can find that there has been an independent audit (and by definition, validation) that no logging of traffic actually takes place. I know it mentions 100% RAM but this would not stop anyone siphoning the logs elsewhere to (for example) syslog etc.
An independent audit would verify that. For those who insist on true privacy, this might just be the straw that broke the camel’s back, and it’s one of the reasons why I chose NordVPN in the first place.
I’m still very tempted by the offer though so will be digging a bit deeper into this.

Just looking more into it now. What do you make of adding this to the package, is it necessary? - Surfshark One access -https://surfshark.com/alert

@jac not necessary, no. Virtually all password managers have this feature built in

Great, I was thinking BitDefender will have them features won’t they?

@jac Yes, but it has poor reviews and no independently audited security. Okie, there are various complaints concerning the quality of support.
Cheap, yes, but questionable quality.

I’ve read up more on SurfShark and apparently it’s not as fast as they suggest. I suppose the only way to find out is to try it.

@jac Yes, probably a good idea. Do they have a trial ?

A lot of conflicting views on the matter. Some say it is slow others say it’s great. Maybe it just comes down to personal preference.

I expect that this depends on where you are in the world, and which node you connect to. Again, as you say, it’s going to be aligned to personal experience. One man’s junk is another man’s gold.
