Hi. I’ve just come from watching a Linus Tech Tips video on VPNs and internet privacy/security. What you recommend for the best all round VPN, both for included services, price, reliability and security. Is NordVPN / SurfShark any good or is something like Private Internet Access (PIA) that Linus advocates for better?
EDIT: For use on an iPhone and Windows Laptop/PC

The most popular recommendations from this community is Proton, Windscribe, or Mullvad.
For all around daily use I would use windscribe.
For a hefty privacy focus likely Proton.
Mullvad as main stream privacy vpn.
But honestly windscribe will get it easily done and the employees of windscribe are very active and easily reachable.
Important is what is the main purpose of your vpn service. Privacy / Speed / function etc.
I used mullvad for over 3 years now and very happy with both privacy (they got raided but had no customer information so police left empty handed) and speed. I am on 1gbit link and get pretty much 700Mbps down which is a good compromise.
However some of the other vpn vendors are owned by big cooperation so I would stay away from them.
Airvpn is pretty good
Yeah I heard (from Linus’ recent video) that NordVPN and SurfShark are owned by less than favourable people and store user’s information/details…
Will look into the ones you mentioned.
If you want to read in more detail what happened to Mullvad you can read here.
Also you can buy Mullvad subscription on amazon which makes it anonymous. I.E mullvad don’t know what you randomly account number is.
