$40 a year for up to five devices.
No logs.
I have it on my DD-WRT router.
Oh, and whatever you do, do not use a free VPN. Free means you are the product.
Opera has a built-in VPN.
Best part is it’s free.
VPN has gotten very cheap these days. Paid in advance 30-40 dollars yearly. Not all are torr_ent friendly. So chose wisely. I use no VPN
I’ve used VPN Express for several years.
Anonymous is somewhat cheap and torrent friendly (@70/year prepay)
I don't see any noticeable system performance slow down on my desktop or Android phone (I use PIA VPN). But you should know it will somewhat tax your battery charge on your smartphones or laptops. Lots of number crunching going on as the VPN encrypts and decrypts.
I use VPN Express. It’s very good.
After months of research I chose NordVPN ($99/3yrs). Their choice of servers gives me no bandwidth loss on a 400M connection and it is bittorrent friendly.(I run a bittorrent client 24/7 for weeks on end.)
Here's a pretty readable guide for features you'd want to look for (link).
I have been using AVG’s VPN and it works fine... Doesn’t slow the open networks as far as I can determine... I would like to see a cookie-driven random selection of the perceived locations when you fire it up instead of making you menu-select one if you want to change...
I recommend Golden Frog VPN. Many employees appear to be based in the USA (job advertisements list Austin, TX) but the company is corporately registered in Germany which offers a favorable data retention laws for privacy advocates.
I would take a closer look at the VPN service ownership information when you consider a VPN. Many of these VPN services are owned by entities in the surveillance states that you are trying to avoid.
Golden Frog offers firmware for routers and software for mobile devices.
Golden Frog also offers their own image that you can deploy your own end point at Digital Ocean. It’s easy to setup and offers true privacy.
This is a good idea if you don’t want your traffic getting caught up in whatever other clients are doing through the same exit node.

IP Vanish is incredible and can be used on multiple devices.
I can’t even begin to tell you how many locations they offer worldwide to connect to.
And it is fast. In fact, you can set it to connect to the fastest server available in the country.
