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:
- Support for family plan/multiple devices
- Apple Ecosystem - macOS/iOS clients (Linux nice to have)
- Fast enough to always be running on the device
- Easy to switch between servers and countries
- 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!

AirVPN is pretty nice, they offer DNS and port forwarding services as well which is quite convenient if you need a human readable hostname for a device over the internet.
Got a few years for a really good price a while ago too, they occasionally have good sales.
I can also recommend AirVPN. I’ve been using it for several years now. I have it on my iMac and iPhone and make use of both the port forwarding and dns. They have their own client (Eddie) but you can use 3rd party clients too. I used the openVPN client for a while and am currently using wireguard.
