    Hope I'm posting this in the right area.

    Wanting to know what VPN you guys are using these days.
    For years I used Torguard. Two years ago I signed up with Surfshark and had a decent deal on it. Seemed good at first but the last 6 months the speeds were up and down and constantly getting dropouts (but when I disconnected Surfshark the net worked flawlessly. So not going with them again.

    Tossing up between Express VPN and Private Internet Access. PIA is cheaper. Most sites rate Express VPN as their top pick.
    I'd want to use it on PC/Laptop, Android phones, firestick/chromecast and Sony Bravia Android TV and a Samsung Smart TV (Although I doubt you can install a VPN on the samsung as it doesn't have google play).

    Let me know your experiences/recommendations below :)

    Both Mullvad and Proton are excellent, using Proton currently.

    Proton VPN is really good! I use it for nearly two years now and had no problems at all.

    it depends on where you are using it. in some places most of these dont work at all. that said if proton does work where you are then thats my pick.

    I've bought Kaspersky Plus earlier this year and it came with unlimited (afaik) VPN. So far it's working just fine, quite the deal I'd say.

    I am looking for VPN recommendations, primarily i wish to use one with a Kodi box and Firestick, so i have a few questions.

    My setup consists of a VM Hub3 in router mode and i do not wish to buy a dedicated router.

    1. Can i pay for a VPN service and easily use it with a Kodi box and Firestick?

    2. Best cheap VPN for Kodi streaming?

    read the answers above your post. A VPN doesn't care what application you are running. there is no best vpn for Kodi or Limewire or whatever..
