My experience with them was bad. Somehow they automatically moved me from a plan for just vpn (which is pretty cheap) to one that included a bunch of bullshit I didn't need, want, or even know I could use. The new plan was over $30/mo. There are ISPs who charge less than that!

My previous VPN service has been about $36 per year or something. I remember it was small enough that I just paid it annually out of pocket change, which also lowered the price in comparison.

I stopped sailing the seas, as it were, and dropped it. Then I needed to briefly, and tried Nord. Meh. Anyways it's strictly land-lubbing these days.

If you’re in the USA, you should be using a VPN 100% of the time right now.
