Best VPN for home users

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good VPN with good speeds, me and my brother are looking in to getting a VPN but I concern about losing a lot of my speed.


Some people have said Nord VPN is the best.


Any recommendations on a good VPN please share.

Re: Best VPN for home users

This is the one I use, speed loss is negligible.

Re: Best VPN for home users

As soon as the warning popped up about KRACK, I signed up to Norton's own VPN. I haven't noticed any speed loss in browsing or downloads.

Re: Best VPN for home users

I use Private Internet Access, I get full speed. Pretty cheap, reliable and very fast. Also, you get a licence to use it on 5 devices.

Re: Best VPN for home users

+1 for Private Internet Access. However some servers ip addresses are blocked by some sites but changing to a different server fixes this. I would imagine that this might be the same for most, if not all, VPN's. I've been unable to connect Cable Forum when connected to a server in the Neterlands but not on every ip address the server provides.

Re: Best VPN for home users

I had a 3yr deal for £99 which I felt to be good, they also have android apps,as well as Windows. linux and Open VPN ones, well worth considering.

Re: Best VPN for home users

I've been using IPVanish for a couple of years. Was ok when I was on 40mbs BT but recently I've gone to 356mbs Virgin connection and the speed loss is significant (like the same as if I was still with BT)

Re: Best VPN for home users

Yet another vote for PIA, just signed up for my second year, tried Cyberghost, NordVN and a few others but PIA was the fastest for me. I get about 50Mbps using the VPN from my 100Mbps connection, without the VPN I'm getting about 80Mbps at the moment.
