VPN Recommendations

VPNs are becoming a major topic of conversation due to the recent removal of ISP privacy protections. There are hundreds of VPN providers out there already, and more are materializing every day—some for good reasons, and some for bad.

Given that reality, I thought it would be a good idea to assemble a short, curated list of my own. Basically, I took numerous resources like this one, and studied and parsed them down to five recommendations.

In short, you are unlikely to go wrong with any of these.

• Mullvad: OpenVPN-based, out of Sweden.
• Zipline: This is an IPSEC, hardware-based VPN.
• IVPN: OpenVPN-based, lots of configuration options, including multi-hop.
• AzireVPN: Another solid OpenVPN-based solution, also with significant configuration options.
• OVPN.se: Yet another solid and highly-rated OpenVPN-based solution.
