VPN Recommendations? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been using Mullvad for the past few months. Have not had many issues with it aside from the 5 device limit and the removal of port forwarding. I'm currently looking at Private Internet Access as a potential replacement. It looks like it offers 10 device limit and port forwarding included with the price.

Anyone using PIA? How's the experience?

Edit: Probably should have mentioned, feel free to offer any other recommendations, I'm not attached to, or against any specific recommendations. I would like it to have a GUI available on Linux though if possible.

I've really enjoyed Torguard so far, althought I switched very recently.

If you decide to use Torguard, USE AN AFFILIATE CODE FOR 50% OFF. I used Tom Spark's (YouTubers) code, but Torguard makes it really easy for any creator to generate a code so use whoever's you'd like to support.

EDIT: It has a linux gui, which oddly must be run at root. I added a line to create an exception for only my user to be allowed to run /usr/bin/torguard as root without a password in /etc/sudoers, and it works as expected.

you could also self-host your vpn on a cheap cloud vps with algo:

https://github.com/trailofbits/algo

will cost you around 5 bucks per month

you can choose your vpn location and cloud provider, supports several protocols like openvpn and wireguard etc.

I hated the 5 device limits of Mullvad. Especially because you could not logout other devices from the app (until recently) but you had to login into web to do it. I was coming from nordvpn where they simply logged out the device that was connected for the longest time. I'm also looking into alternatives and since cost is not really a blocking point I was thinking to go with IVPN

Ive been using Ipvanish for a few years now, no issues. No logs either assuming they are an honest company.
