Both boast thousands of servers in numerous locations, offer excellent security protocols, work hard to protect your privacy, and provide excellent speeds for streaming and gaming.<\/p><p>As a quick overview, we can say that while both VPNs are great choices, NordVPN won overall as the best, most well-rounded VPN provider. This is because they offer slightly better speeds, great security, and somewhat better streaming capabilities.<\/p><p>On the other hand, ExpressVPN also provides above-average speeds, access to most streaming services, and great privacy features. For instance, NordVPN has a zero-logs policy, while ExpressVPN does keep <i>some<\/i> logs of your activities.<\/p><p>Aside from ExpressVPN, CyberGhost is another service that keeps some non-identifying logs. Though not as feature-packed as our top two contenders, it\u2019s a great choice for beginners to VPN use thanks to its simple, easy-to-use interface. IPVanish offers unlimited simultaneous connections from a single account, while PIA is the most budget-friendly high-profile VPN provider.<\/p><p>In any case, let\u2019s flesh out this brief summary and see what\u2019s really going on. In the end, what really matters in a VPN is what matters to<i> you<\/i> in a VPN.<\/p><h2>Top 5 VPNs Overview By Categories<\/h2><p>Let\u2019s see how each VPN provider performs in a given category.

This is one of the main reasons we especially recommend IPVanish for families &#8211; so that everyone in your home can venture into the online world with privacy and security. PIA has a very generous connection limit of 10. CyberGhost has the next highest number of simultaneous connections with a limit of 7, closely followed by NordVPN with 6. ExpressVPN has the lowest number of simultaneous connections of 5.<\/p><p>All VPNs have native apps for Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS. Except for PIA, all of these VPNs also have native apps for Linux systems and Amazon Fire. In fact, PIA falls behind greatly in this general category. ExpressVPN goes above and beyond by providing a native app for BlackBerry (who uses BlackBerry anymore, but OK), and additionally has a user-friendly, custom firmware that works well with some routers. The rest of the VPNs are <i>compatible<\/i> with select routers, but you\u2019ll need to set up the VPN manually. Keep in mind that connecting a router to your VPN counts as a single simultaneous connection (a single device).<\/p><p>ExpressVPN and CyberGhost have split tunneling, while NordVPN only offers this on iOS and Android devices and IPVanish offers this option for Android devices only. You can use split-tunneling to allow certain apps to bypass the VPN. When you can manually decide which devices are connected to the VPN, split tunneling isn\u2019t as necessary.<\/p><p>All VPNs have an overall desktop kill switch, though it\u2019s worth mentioning that NordVPN and CyberGhost both have kill switch features on both their mobile and desktop apps &#8211; most other providers only offer it on desktop.<\/p><p>When it comes to extras, all VPNs except for IPVanish offer extensions for Chrome and Firefox. ExpressVPN has an extension for Safari as well, and PIA offers one for Opera.<\/p><p>Three of these VPNs also offer ad tracker and malware blockers: NordVPN (CyberSec), PIA (MACE), and CyberGhost. An ad tracker and malware blocker is quite a useful feature to have in your arsenal for smoother browsing and streaming.<\/p><h3>Pricing and Trial Periods<\/h3><p>NordVPN and CyberGhost offer the most versatile payment options and include monthly, yearly, 2-year, and 3-year plans. Usually, the longer the period you pay for, the less you pay per month. Ergo, their 3-year plans will typically come with the most affordable monthly fees.<\/p><p>However, you may not be in a position to pay so much money upfront. Or maybe you just don\u2019t want to make that long a commitment with a VPN service. In this case, the cheapest option on the list is PIA, which offers the best possible deal you can find for a 1-year billing period.<\/p><p>If you want an even shorter billing period, you may want to consider PIA\u2019s 6-month plan.<\/p><p>The priciest plans for all VPNs are those with monthly billing, where CyberGhost is the most expensive option and IPVanish is the cheapest one. Another thing that IPVanish has going for it is that it supports unlimited simultaneous connections from a single account which is why it offers the best overall value for the money.<\/p><p>On average, the most expensive VPN service is ExpressVPN. However, ExpressVPN is one of the top two VPNs on this list (hint: the other one is NordVPN), so there\u2019s a good reason why their price is higher, and you\u2019ll see this as we go over each reviewed section.<\/p><p>The trial periods (money-back guarantee) for all VPN services are 30 days, except for CyberGhost. CyberGhost offers a 45-day trial period for all plans except the monthly payment option, which comes with only a 14-day money-back period.<\/p><h3>Speed and Performance<\/h3><p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-2\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-2\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><th class=\"column-2\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/go\/nordvpn\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">NordVPN<\/a><\/strong><\/th><th class=\"column-3\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/go\/privateinternetaccess\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Private Internet Access<\/a><\/strong><\/th><th class=\"column-4\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/go\/cyberghost\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">CyberGhost<\/a><\/strong><\/th><th class=\"column-5\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/go\/ipvanish\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">IPVanish<\/a><\/strong><\/th><th class=\"column-6\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/go\/expressvpn\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ExpressVPN<\/a><\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Number of Servers<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">5400+<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">3200+<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">6500+<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">1300+<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">3000+<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Number of Server Countries<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">59<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">46<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">90<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">75<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">94<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Speed Optimized Security Protocols<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">NordLynx<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">WireGuard<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">WireGuard<\/td><td class=\"column-5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-2048x2048.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 30px) 100vw, 30px\" \/><\/td><td class=\"column-6\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-1659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/no-2048x2048.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 30px) 100vw, 30px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-2 from cache --><\/p><p>Speed and performance &#8211; which means a reliable and steady connection &#8211; are two of the most important factors we look at when choosing a VPN. Just because you want privacy and protection during your online ventures, doesn\u2019t mean that you should sacrifice speed. Good speeds mean that you\u2019ll be able to stream and game while using a VPN without experiencing any noticeable lag.\u00a0<\/p><p>That being said, the whole deal with <i>you <\/i>choosing a VPN service based on <i>our<\/i> speed test graphics &#8211; or those provided by any other reviewer &#8211; is that it\u2019s kind of, or rather unequivocally, pointless. If you\u2019ve visited several different review websites, you may have found mixed results concerning the speeds of the same VPN provider. This is because the actual speed you will get when connected to a VPN depends on two factors:<\/p><ol><li>The performance of the connection between your home and the VPN server.<\/li><li>The performance of the connection from the VPN server to a speed test server.<\/li><\/ol><p>In other words, the results of our VPN speed tests will likely be different than yours, and thus irrelevant to you. Our distance from a certain server is different than yours, our internet connection is different than yours, and so on. The speed will vary on a case-by-case basis. As a result, we don\u2019t publish VPN speed tests. Rather, we encourage you to perform your own tests! It\u2019s the only way to get credible and dependable results that are relevant to you.<\/p><p>To do this, just sign up for a few different VPNs, and take advantage of their free trials, i.e. money-back guarantees. You can perform your own speed tests by connecting to the VPN server in your chosen location and running a test on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.speedtest.net\">www.speedtest.net<\/a>. Only then will you get a real-world speed test result that applies to your connection and chosen VPN server. If you&#8217;re connecting to a US-based server from Europe, it&#8217;ll be slower than connecting to a US-based server from within the US.<\/p><p>What we <i>can<\/i> give you are raw facts and data &#8211; and these are the number of servers a VPN provider has, the number of countries they\u2019re spread across, and whether they employ any speed-optimized security protocols.<\/p><p>More servers in a location will usually mean that a VPN can handle more traffic and thus provide you with faster, more dependable speeds. A broader coverage, geographically, means that it\u2019s more likely for there to be a server near you that you can seamlessly connect to, or in a country you want to route your traffic through &#8211; eg for streaming services. NordVPN and CyberGhost have the most servers, while ExpressVPN and CyberGhost, again, have the broadest coverage in terms of locations. This increases the possibility of getting a fast connection. You can always check if your VPN of choice has servers near you.<\/p><p>Now, onto speed-optimized security protocols. New protocols are being developed all the time, so that they can increase security but shorten the time encryption takes. A recent example of this is <a href=\"https:\/\/itsfoss.com\/wireguard\/\">WireGuard<\/a>, which is being used by PIA and CyberGhost. WireGuard uses a lean codebase of only 4,000 lines of code, as opposed to, for instance, OpenVPN\u2019s 100,000 lines. Obviously, WireGuard is easier to debug and faster to process. The issue with WireGuard, however, is that it\u2019s still in the early stages of development and not exactly air-tight, security-wise. That\u2019s why ExpressVPN, for instance, is waiting for it to reach a more advanced stage where it can be more dependable.<\/p><p>On this point, NordVPN has come up with a creative compromise that has boosted their speed without sacrificing security. They\u2019ve come up with the NordLynx technology and added it to the mix &#8211; their own version of the open-source WireGuard VPN protocol, but with better privacy and security.<\/p><p><b>Best speed and performance:<\/b> NordVPN<\/p><h3>Ease-of-use<\/h3><p>All these VPNs are quite user-friendly. The native apps for PCs and smartphones are easy to use and resourceful. They\u2019re intuitive and uncluttered, so you won\u2019t need to be tech-savvy to guide your way through the interface. NordVPN has one of our favorite mobile apps which includes a map-based screen where you get to choose region and server. Plus you get additional security options to change your IP or use a double VPN. Plus, the apps are P2P-optimized, for faster speeds.<\/p><p>The NordVPN smartphone app has quite a few features and settings, but the ExpressVPN smartphone app is a bit more compact and intuitive.\u00a0<\/p><p>When choosing a server, NordVPN offers both a list and a map, while ExpressVPN allows you to choose only from a list. The rest of the security features that you can adjust are available in a separate window for both VPNs, allowing you to keep the main app simple.<\/p><p>Overall, we\u2019d say that NordVPN has better apps, but ExpressVPN\u2019s mobile apps are slightly more intuitive to use.<\/p><p>PIA offers two different mobile apps. One can be downloaded from PIA\u2019s website and includes MACE (ad-blocker and malware scanner). The other one can be downloaded from Google Play Store, but doesn\u2019t have MACE. The apps are easy to use and simple, yet rich in features. You can choose your region from a drop-down list, adjust your IP address, and you have the ability to fine-tune various settings. For instance, you can adjust your encryption type or set the activity time of the VPN. Overall, the PIA mobile app has more settings than the NordVPN app.<\/p><p>NordVPN\u2019s desktop app includes both a map and a list from which to choose a region, it has a broad array of settings which allow you to adjust your VPN connection, change encryption protocols, setup connection times, or make your device invisible to local networks.<\/p><p>PIA\u2019s desktop app is a bit less detailed and intuitive. It\u2019s placed in the taskbar (much like the Steam app, for instance), and it hides if you try to minimize it which can be a bit of a hassle. However, it does offer some settings like activating the ad-block or controlling leak protection. Still, as we saw above, PIA doesn\u2019t have a native app for Linux systems.<\/p><p>While NordVPN\u2019s settings are geared towards increasing security, CyberGhost\u2019s mobile app is more about ease of use. It also has ad and malware blocker, but it asks for less manual adjusting from the user. For instance, you can select a task (like gaming or streaming), and get a server automatically assigned for you, rather than having to browse through the options and pick one yourself. This is why we recommend CyberGhost to less tech-savvy users.<\/p><p>IPVanish\u2019s mobile app is just as easy to use &#8211; the home screen is minimalistic, with a simple quick connect key and readily available server selection options. Most of the settings for adjusting your VPN are available in the IPVanish desktop app. You can choose country, city, server, and protocol. With IPVanish, you can choose from several VPN protocols on the desktop app, while you can only use OpenVPN on the mobile.\u00a0<\/p><p>Overall, the IPVanish mobile app, like the CyberGhost app, doesn\u2019t offer as many settings as NordVPN, but it\u2019s quite easy to use and a great choice for VPN beginners.<\/p><h3>Security\u00a0<\/h3><p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-3\" class=\"tablepress

provides airtight security, as the cipher is uncrackable. PIA does use some 128-bit encryption in some instances, which is more vulnerable to being cracked, so we\u2019ll give it a minus for that.<\/p><p>All VPNs offer great security protocols that are solid support for the OpenVPN data encryption, but NordVPN, IPVanish, and CyberGhost\u2019s IKEv2 makes them somewhat better for combining speed and security on mobile devices. Additionally, all options offer private DNS, so your activities can\u2019t be tracked, and offer leak protection DNS, data, WebRTC, and IPv6 (your IP address).<\/p><p>NordVPN has the edge on ExpressVPN when it comes to their versatile kill switch options and automatic WiFi protection. Additionally, they offer double VPN protection and Onion over VPN features, which can help you improve your security through double encryption.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, NordVPN\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/10\/21\/20925065\/nordvpn-server-breach-vpn-traffic-exposed-encryption\">security breach in 2018<\/a>, loses against ExpressVPN\u2019s speck-free record. In 2018, a server located in Finland was breached and the attacker had access to the websites that users were frequenting at the time. However, the attacker wouldn\u2019t have been able to see the websites\u2019 content (thanks to the encryption protocols), and the server didn\u2019t contain any usernames, passwords, or activity logs &#8211; so not much harm was done.<\/p><p>On the other hand, the Turkish government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comparitech.com\/blog\/vpn-privacy\/expressvpn-server-seized-in-turkey-verifyies-no-logs-claim\/\">seized ExpressVPN\u2019s servers in 2017<\/a> to follow up on an assassination case, although ExpressVPN cooperated they had no information to divulge. Additionally, they use virtual locations which make tracking down individuals even more difficult for government or marketing agencies.<\/p><p>ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and IPVanish take the lead when it comes to cloaking technology, as PIA and CyberGhost don\u2019t use any. Cloaking technology, like Obfsproxy, for instance, hides the fact that a certain user is using a VPN at all, which prevents Deep Packet Inspection to block or monitor VPN web traffic. This makes options with cloaks a more secure choice. On the other hand, ExpressVPN is the only option that doesn\u2019t feature automatic WiFi protection.\u00a0<\/p><p>When it comes to encryption keys, all VPNs except for IPVanish use RSA-4096, a longer and safer code. IPVanish\u2019s RSA-2048 may leave it more vulnerable to attacks and decoding.<\/p><p>NordVPN has the best kill switch, as it\u2019s customizable (as we already mentioned in the Features sections).<\/p><p>Lastly, NordVPN offers a lot of extras when it comes to security and individual user needs. NordVPN clients can use multi-hop VPN, Onion over VPN (Tor over VPN), and opt for a dedicated IP address in certain territories. In the security category,\u00a0 we\u2019d say NordVPN wins here.<\/p><h3>Privacy and Jurisdiction<\/h3><p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-4\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-4\">\n<thead>\n<tr

will hide your IP address, and the top 5 certainly satisfy this criterium. NordVPN, PIA, and IPVanish have the edge when it comes to connection logs, as they don\u2019t keep any. ExpressVPN and CyberGhost keep some connection logs, but they\u2019re non-identifying. This includes user account ID, date of connections, location of connections, as well as the amount of data transfer.<\/p><p>If you want to sign up anonymously, you\u2019d be able to do so by using a burner email address and a cryptocurrency, or another anonymous payment method. By far, PIA offers the most anonymous payment options, including 32 different cryptocurrencies and Mint, a prepaid card that requires no personal information to obtain and use, like a prepaid phone. Additionally, they creatively &#8211; and surprisingly &#8211; accept gift cards from most major brands as an anonymous payment method.<\/p><p>NordVPN accepts quite a few cryptocurrencies, although not as many as PIA. ExpressVPN accepts only Bitcoin, but it does also accept Mint. CyberGhost accepts only Bitcoin, but also offers offline payment if you want to maintain anonymity &#8211; though this is only available in some countries. IPVanish is the <i>worst<\/i> choice when it comes to anonymity, as they don\u2019t offer any anonymous payment options.<\/p><p>When it comes to jurisdiction, ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and CyberGhost have done their homework to find a secure location for their headquarters. They\u2019ve avoided the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vpnmentor.com\/blog\/understanding-five-eyes-concept\/\">5 Eyes, 9 Eyes, and 14 Eyes countries<\/a>, so they can\u2019t be forced by law to disclose your personal information. The British Virgin Islands, where ExpressVPN is located, have no data retention laws so ExpressVPN can\u2019t be legally required to give away your info.<\/p><p>Panama, where NordVPN is based, is also a good choice. However, due to Panama\u2019s stringent copyright laws, NordVPN has been asked to work with the US authorities in several cases. It\u2019s not as bad as it sounds, though &#8211; NordVPN has no servers in Panama so they\u2019ve been able to wriggle out of giving away any \u201cuseful\u201d information.<\/p><p>CyberGhost is headquartered in Romania, which is generally considered to be privacy-friendly. Although Romania is a member of the EU, which has mandatory data retention laws, Romania has refused to comply with them, deeming them unconstitutional and problematic when it comes to privacy rights. There may be some minor logs which only store statistical data about whether you logged into your VPN on a certain day. But again, these logs are non-identifying.<\/p><p>One potential issue with IPVanish and PIA is that they\u2019re based in the US, which is one of the 5 Eyes countries. This means that government authorities can force them to disclose the private information of users. However, this hasn\u2019t been a problem in the past for PIA, even when such government pressure occurred, thanks to their stringent no-logs policy.<\/p><p>While IPVanish also claims to keep zero logs, in 2018 the company did provide Homeland Security with information that led to the capture of a certain individual (when you <a href=\"https:\/\/torrentfreak.com\/ipvanish-no-logging-vpn-led-homeland-security-to-comcast-user-180505\/\">check out the story<\/a> it turns out it\u2019s all for the best). However, the owners of IPVanish have changed since then, and the new owners claim to stick to an actual no-logs policy.<\/p><p>Still, there is one bit of information that the US government <i>can<\/i> obtain, and that\u2019s users\u2019 email addresses. If you\u2019re concerned about privacy, it\u2019d be best to use a burner email when you sign up with this (or any) VPN service.<\/p><p>Overall, the safest choices in terms of jurisdiction are ExpressVPN and NordVPN. NordVPN has the upper hand thanks to their zero-logs policy.<\/p><h3>Streaming<\/h3><p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-5\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-5\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><th class=\"column-2\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/go\/nordvpn\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">NordVPN<\/a><\/strong><\/th><th class=\"column-3\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/go\/privateinternetaccess\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Private Internet Access<\/a><\/strong><\/th><th class=\"column-4\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/go\/cyberghost\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">CyberGhost<\/a><\/strong><\/th><th class=\"column-5\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/go\/ipvanish\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">IPVanish<\/a><\/strong><\/th><th class=\"column-6\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/go\/expressvpn\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ExpressVPN<\/a><\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Streaming Services Unlocked<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, All 4, Sling TV, HBO, DAZN<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, Hulu, Sky Go, CBS, NBC (also unblocked by the other VPN providers on this list)<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, Sling TV, HBO, Hotstar, All 4, Zattoo. etc.<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Sling TV, HBO <\/td><td class=\"column-6\">Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, Sling TV, HBO, DAZN<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Netflix Libraries<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"column-2\">US, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, Netherlands, etc.<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">None<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">UK, US, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, etc.<\/td><td class=\"column-5\">US, UK, Australia, etc.<\/td><td class=\"column-6\">Some non-identifying logsUS, Canada,<br \/>\nUK, Australia, Germany, India, Hong Kong, etc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-5 from cache --><\/p><p>All of these top VPNs can give you access to a number of geo-restricted streaming services,as indicated in the table above. However, they don\u2019t all unblock the same streaming services and same Netflix libraries. The most notable \u201closer\u201d in this category is PIA. PIA can only unblock regional TV platforms (with the exception of Hulu), so it\u2019s not a very lucrative offer for many non-American citizens that wouldn\u2019t be as interested in their content.<\/p><p>The other VPNs will unblock a number of streaming services, most notably Netflix and various Netflix libraries. The US library of Netflix is the richest one available, but it\u2019s limited to only users based in the US. All VPNs except for PIA can help you bypass these limitations to access numerous Netflix libraries outside your geographic location.<\/p><p>ExpressVPN and CyberGhost provide access to the widest array of Netflix libraries, which is why they are the best VPNs for streaming Netflix. This may be in part due to the fact that ExpressVPN has servers in more countries than NordVPN.<\/p><p>While ExpressVPN, NordVPN, and CyberGhost are the best streaming VPNs, IPVanish falls slightly behind, as they have a more limited amount of unblocked geo-restricted streaming services.<\/p><p>There\u2019s also the question of performance, however. While all these VPNs will give you access to streaming platforms, they don\u2019t all do it the same way and don\u2019t all perform as well. CyberGhost, for instance, is a bit slower in adapting to your desired stream. This is because they use dedicated streaming servers, which may take some time connecting to a streaming service. The normal CyberGhost servers are simply a bit slow for streaming (again, this doesn\u2019t mean that you\u2019ll have the <i>same <\/i>experience &#8211; remember what we talked about in the previous section on speed and performance!).<\/p><p>In other cases, like NordVPN, for instance, streaming is seamless, even though they don\u2019t have dedicated streaming servers. Overall, we would rank the best VPN for streaming as follows:<\/p><ol><li>NordVPN<\/li><li>ExpressVPN<\/li><li>CyberGhost<\/li><li>IPVanish<\/li><li>PIA<\/li><\/ol><h3>Support<\/h3><p>Most VPNs offer the same customer support methods &#8211; live chat, email, ticket support, and a resourceful knowledgebase full of how-to guides and simple videos, which can help you resolve an issue all by yourself. Again, PIA falls in the last place here simply because they don\u2019t offer live chat. This is quite a drawback for PIA users, as live chat is usually the fastest way (other than phone, which isn\u2019t available for almost any VPN service) to resolve an issue. And sometimes, you really need (or want) a speedy response.<\/p><p>Overall, ExpressVPN has a faster email response rate than NordVPN, but NordVPN has a faster live chat response rate. The support teams for both VPNs are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.<\/p><p>In terms of email response speed, NordVPN is second to ExpressVPN, and usually twice as fast as any of the other options. According to tests based on email response time, NordVPN\u2019s customer service answered twice as fast as PIA\u2019s customer service. While NordVPN\u2019s representatives took a bit over 2 hours, PIA\u2019s took more than 4. Same goes for CyberGhost, where NordVPN\u2019s customer support answered nearly twice as fast as CyberGhost\u2019s (NordVPN took about 7 hours, CyberGhost took over 11).<\/p><p>Lastly, one possible drawback of CyberGhost and IPVanish is that their live chat support is outsourced. Conversely, NordVPN and ExpressVPN use in-house support, which is arguably more knowledgeable and dependable.\u00a0<\/p><h3>Conclusion: Which VPN Provider is the Best Choice For You?<\/h3><p>Having looked at all our overviews, tables, and breakdowns, you\u2019ve hopefully gotten a good general idea of what each VPN provider has to offer. To be fair, not all our made equal.<\/p><p><b>NordVPN and ExpressVPN are easily the best VPN providers on the market<\/b>. Both VPNs offer excellent privacy, security, features and specs, customer support, and speed and performance. However, <b>we had to go with NordVPN as the winner<\/b>, and ExpressVPN as a very close second.<\/p><p>The reason why NordVPN came in first is that they do provide better streaming options and they offer more in some areas. To begin with, it\u2019s definitely more affordable and allows more simultaneous connections. Plus, they have some additional security features &#8211; like multi-hop VPN (double VPN), Onion over VPN, CyberSec ad\/malware blocker, and just more servers overall. Plus, you can get a dedicated IP address with NordVPN for extra money. In fact, despite NordVPN\u2019s security breach, it\u2019s our top recommendation for a high-grade security VPN.<\/p><p>When it comes to ease-of-use, all our recommended VPNs offer intuitive, user-friendly apps. Where NordVPN is better with overall available settings and user-friendliness, ExpressVPN\u2019s apps are more space-efficient and straightforward &#8211; so in this regard, it really depends on what you prefer.\u00a0<\/p><p>In the end, whichever VPN you choose out of these two, you won\u2019t be making the wrong choice.<\/p><p>Onto our other contenders: all of these top 5 VPNs offer decent security and privacy specs, and offer user-friendly, feature-rich interfaces on their apps, so you can adjust the VPN settings from mobile or desktop. However, they do differ significantly in their particular pros and cons.<\/p><p>CyberGhost, for instance, does bypass most geo-restricted streaming services, but isn\u2019t as fast as doing it as our top two. They, however, do have the most simplistic, user-friendly interface on their app, which makes CyberGhost our favorite recommendation for beginners.<\/p><p>IPVanish is our top recommendation for a whole family, as they offer an unlimited number of device connections with a single account. The other VPNs offer support for 5, 6, and 7 devices. With IPVanish, you can secure all your devices along with the devices of your family, partner, or friends. The drawback of IPVanish is security &#8211; while other VPNs use RSA-4096, the longest encryption key used today, IPVanish uses RSA-2048, which is a bit less secure. Still, it\u2019s sufficient for the average user.<\/p><p>PIA does leave you wanting in some aspects &#8211; they don\u2019t have live chat and don\u2019t manage to bypass many geo-restricted streaming services.
