Thanks SR-71 for your response to my inquiry, but do you know where they have a comparison of HMA and IPVanish? I'm probably going to test out IPVanish as I've used HMA and didn't seem to have a problem with it, yet they cost about the same.

Thanks for using HMA :) A search turns up several results on "HMA vs. X" and "HMA comparisons" if you're looking for opinions from around the web.

Here's a recent review: http://www.pcmag.com/review/343171/hide-my-ass-vpn

If anyone has any questions on HMA I'll be happy to help. Lots of answers here too: https://support.hidemyass.com/hc/en-us/categories/200181116-Knowledge-Base

I've used IPVanish in the past. I had no problems with it and it was simple and fast to use. It's been a while since I've used a VPN and am currently in the market at the moment for a VPN service. I found a site which did a side-by-side comparison of many VPN services and there was one from Sweden or something like that. Their security measures used seemed a notch ahead of the others but I completely forgot their name. I'll probably get IPVanish again but I'm pretty open to reading about other recommendations as well

PureVPN is worth giving a try. Although they do not offer a free trial but have a 7 day money back offer.

Can you identify some of those features for that instance. Just asking
 
I think SR 71 Likes IP Vanish :) just saying


personally I prefer to use https://www.expressvpn.com/ more expensive than IP Vashing, (unless you pay 60/6month but if you pay the yearly price its 8.30/month.. but monthly is 13.00

Of your criteria, the most important should have been privacy. Does the VPN keep connection logs? Do they keep logs of where you are going or what services you ae using? The best VPN.s, in my opinion, are the ones that have a "No logging" privacy policy....so even if served with subpoenas for records, there are none to give. Should have been the most important point in an article on 'Virtual PRIVATE Networks'. No?

I agree with the NORD VPN is the best VPN in my analysis because too much server and internet freedom and privacy to all in one personally use with no issue in speed and auto kill switch enables. In my recommendation NORD VPN :

Have used NordVPN for three years now. All others on list appear to retain IP traffic logs of the user; especially in US where laws are more strict. Great support service w/NordVPN too.
