I believe Surfshark it's the cheapest of these options. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] quickhatch@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) What's the issue with Nord? A buddy just recommended it to me, but I rarely see it mentioned, so I've had a hard time understanding why not to use it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ITeeTechMonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) Their reputation took a hit after a server breach in 2018. https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/21/20925065/nordvpn-server-breach-vpn-traffic-exposed-encryption permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago* It doesn't sound like a particularly bad breach but they didn't disclose it very quickly, which never works in a company's favor. I use Nord VPN still. I tried Mullvad for a while and it was good, but I found Nord did a better job at getting around geoblocks, and was cheaper. I use Mullvad's browser with it though. permalink fedilink source parent
