Key Features:
My speeds with CyberGhost didn’t drop below 47Mbps on any connection, even using regular servers with long-distance connections. However, my baseline rates are fast to begin with. CyberGhost sometimes struggles to maintain fast speeds for distant servers, so it’s important to choose the nearest server to your physical location for the best speed.
Military-grade encryption on all connections to keep online activity anonymous Leak protection to prevent accidental DNS and IP address leaks from exposing your true location Strong connection protocols, including WireGuard and OpenVPN Independently audited privacy policy confirms CyberGhost cannot and will not log or store your data while connected to its servers.
Key Features:
This large network is also great for providing fast speeds, especially on local servers. My speeds with PIA were consistently fast, with an average drop of 28% overall. This didn’t impact my streaming or other activities. You can enjoy uninterrupted shows without having to wait for buffering to stop.
4. PrivateVPN — High-Quality Features Keep VPN Traffic and Personal Data Anonymous
Key Features:
PrivateVPN has native apps available for many popular platforms, making it easy to set up and get connected. Unfortunately, PrivateVPN doesn’t have a Smart DNS feature for streaming on devices like game consoles and smart TVs — I recommend taking a look at ExpressVPN’s MediaStreamer feature instead. My issue with PrivateVPN is its small server network. With only 200 servers, it’s much smaller than other premium services. This can cause congestion issues, especially at peak traffic times. I occasionally had difficulty establishing a connection, particularly when using PrivateVPN’s Dedicated IP addresses. However, it never took more than a minute or 2 to connect to a server. Considering PrivateVPN’s low price, I was happy to wait a little longer to connect. It’s one of the most affordable monthly VPNs, with plans starting at $2.00/month for a 3-year subscription. Plus, you can try PrivateVPN risk-free as it’s backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you change your mind, just send an email to customer support requesting a refund. I did, and I had a response the same day — my money was returned within a week.
Key Features: Alongside Scramble, IPVanish offers the following security and privacy features to keep your data and activity anonymous: My only problem with IPVanish is its price. For its fairly limited feature set, it’s an expensive option — plans start at $3.33/month for a 2-year subscription. You won’t find tools like split tunneling, WiFi protection, or ad and malware blockers with IPVanish, although you can get them with a lower-cost CyberGhost subscription.
Check your settings
If you’re having issues with your VPN making a connection, it’s important to check a few basic settings first:
Check your internet connection — while it sounds obvious, you could find there is an issue with your internet connection rather than your VPN. Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device to your WiFi network, or restarting your router. See if your VPN app needs updating — sometimes your VPN simply needs to be updated to the latest app version to fix the issue, especially if you’re using a desktop app (mobile apps generally update automatically). Make sure your device date and time are correct — your VPN will struggle to make a connection if it detects the system date and time aren’t accurate to your location. Uninstall conflicting software — if you have another VPN or proxy software on your device, remove it to avoid conflicts that prevent your VPN from making a connection. Check your antivirus and firewall settings — these may be inadvertently blocking your VPN from making a connection, so be sure to add your VPN to the allowed or safe programs list.
