What's everyone's opinion on a VPN provider? I've used Nord for a long time, but my subscription is up next month and I'm exploring my options. I use a vpn 24/7 on my laptop and most of the time on my phone as does much of the family.

Requirements:

  1. Support for family plan/multiple devices
  2. Apple Ecosystem - macOS/iOS clients (Linux nice to have)
  3. Fast enough to always be running on the device
  4. Easy to switch between servers and countries
  5. Not on a lot of deny lists

I did a couple searches here and was surprised I didn’t come across this question before. I hope it’s not asked too often!

E: Currently leaning towards Proton

It’s Proton for me me hands down

I actually went with proton, but it’s blocking so many things! Apple Music being the big one.

Might have to go back to Nord :(

What are you using it on? We run on everything. Even on Android TvOS and can access Netflix, Disney+ etc with it running. It’s never off on my iOS either and have no issues

I run it on iOS and Mac OS (sometimes Linux), but the problem only seems to be with desktop client.

However, there was update yesterday and now the issue is resolved. Not sure if that was the fix or something else changed, but for now I’m good.
