Looking to add a VPN to my home office. Any recommendations or considerations?

I don’t have one but the most excellent YouTube channel “Kings and Generals” pimps NordVPN on their channel so that is what I would go with if I were in the market.

We use Dashlane as a password manager and it has a solid VPN.

I researched several before I decided on Surfshark. I tried NordVPN, but ran into several issues.
Normally, prudent decision making is ample security, but when needing that level of privacy, I turn on Surfshark.

Mullvad is generally regarded as the best VPN out there. I don't lose much speed and it's highly rated for its security.

I've had it for a few years after I dropped PIA due to some leak issues they had. Never had a problem with it going to the Chicago server.


Only $5/mo right now because of the exchange rate. Believe you can have 5 devices on it simultaneously.

I would highly recommend switching to Bitwarden and using Mullvad as a VPN.

Bitwarden is free to use and most people don't need to pay for the premium. (depends what features you want) It's generally regarded as the best experience out there.

This is the only one you need.

I got a screaming deal on NordVPN a long while back to prepay for 5 years for $79.99 and it’s finally coming up next month. This one is the one I am likely to use

I’ve used PIA and am now on ExpressVPN due to some discounts I had gotten. Express seems better than PIA but I don’t have too many complaints about it. Price was right back then too.

I use HotSpot Shield VPN now. There are both basic and premium memberships. I've used both and can say that premium is pretty good. There is also a network for streaming, and you can connect 5 devices.
Pretty good one

The bots have arrived! Are we confident that Nord isn’t selling your data? The amount of advertising they do is almost disconcerting.

That’s a long term bot play!
