Whoosh or Skadoosh your data? (Windscribe VPN is supreme)

If you search for something like “the best VPN” a lot of these straight up trash “rating” websites will tell you that services like Surfshark VPN, Express VPN or Nord VPN are the topmost among these options, and they are absolutely as far as its gets from right because they are paid money to say these. It is essentially like a bidding war for these websites where the most someone pays one of them, the further up they get on the rating list. I’m gonna actually try to help you out with this because I went through the same bullshit as any noob VPN chooser – I looked at these websites and actually tried out almost all of the free options that were available as a trial. Why should you trust me? Eh you shouldn’t actually, you shouldn’t trust anything anyone ever says on the internet ever but I’m just trynna put my analysis on VPNs in general on here, so do with it what you want.

First of all, you should now be able to tell which websites are selling themselves for the ratings as soon as you see a website name one of these as their top most VPN. On the other hand, if you see a website talk about Windscribe, Mulvad VPN and to an extent even Proton VPN, that is the one you want to rely on (with a grain of salt). Windscribe’s free tier offers one of the best and safest VPNs for anyone, with around 10 locations (some with multiple IPs) and an actual good history about logging and handing over of information – i.e. not doing both of those. The speeds are also great and non-obstructive for general use (browsing, streaming, accessing geo-locked content) while Mulvad VPN has the absolute best privacy of any VPN ever. It does not have a free tier but has one fixed price that never changes which is $5 monthly. Any plan you take will be calculated on that price without any discounts and hidden fees because that is what their USP is – privacy has a cost that cannot be discounted. The speeds can get slow at times for bandwidth heavy stuff like streaming or watching videos, but for general browsing and torrent, it is bulletproof. Now Proton VPN is really sow and when I mean slow I mean like webpage-failed-to-load kinda slow at least in the free tier so even though it is also a good (costly) option for privacy, its free tier is absolute crap and I only recommend using it if you’re planning to take a yearly subscription. Otherwise it simply isn’t worth it.

If you have a steady income, and want the top priority on privacy with decent speeds on your VPN, I would recommend Mulvad but if you do not have the cash to spare, Windscribe’s free tier is the ONLY free tier out of any and ALL VPNs that is actually good and works well.

Those are my 2 cents on VPNs and you are free to disagree but then you would be dumb and giving the safety of your data away while actively paying for it lmao
