Just wondering if anybody does. Does anybody have any suggestions? Last time I used one I stopped because it slowed down my internet like you wouldn't believe. I'm wondering if that hasn't changed much.

I do when I connect to my office from outside. What were you looking to use it for?

Home use. I'm paranoid about big brother.

I was using Phantom Peer and it was ok but I was getting about 60% of my internet speed on it.... PIA is legit and no more expensive than Phantom Peer.

Credit to the CCS bros who turned me on to dis VPN.... I forget who it was now.... Jester? Bot? Both?

Are you using this now? I"m also a gamer and am worried about my net speeds when it comes to that as well.

Yes I use it at home regularly.

It has plenty of servers.... when I connect to the US Midwest server I get 100% of my regular internet speed. I think it also has an Auto Server option where it will switch servers if your speed gets bad, but that could also present issues with gaming.

Will this stop all of the annoying Google ads/IP tracking as well?.

Even this site is shoving cookware down my throat, thanks to my online Macy's shopping.:D

I do, but I don't filter all of my traffic through the VPNs.
