Bottom line: it's not that shared VPN network I thought it was.

Yeah, or to go to the UK and see Dr Who?

Always good to remember...

In fact, there’s a bigger lesson to draw from the illumination of Hola and Luminati about how the Internet economy of “free” services works. It really is true: If you’re not paying, assume you’re the product.

Paid VPN services are not expensive. As little as $5 per month.

Yes, but are they any garantee that you aren't subject to the same kind of "run around?"

Are there any recommendations for the best/fastest/safest VPNs?

…who I say ¡Hola! to.


best/fastest/safest VPNs

Pick any two.

You probably can't afford all three.

When I connect via VPN, I'm looking for security first, ease of use second, speed last.

Any good recommendations for a VPN that avoid geofencing issues besides Hola?
