tucansam Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I am evaluating VPN services. Currently looking hard at TUVPN.com -- would welcome comments from anyone using this (or any other) service. As I understand it, I can only connect to my VPN service with one device simultaneously (generally speaking, based on the packages I've been looking at purchasing). I'm good with this because I run pfsense at home, and can run all of my systems behind it. BUT... I also want vpn access to my home, via openvpn, so I can remotely manage my network. This will generally be done using my phone as a wifi hotspot, but I'd also like to talk about my options for securing the connection should I find myself on a public wifi network (Starbucks etc). I have a no-ip account, but as I understand it, having my personal domain name going around a public wifi network to establish a vpn connection is risky. In addition, when my wife travels, I'd like her devices (iPad, iPhone, laptop) to be secure as well. Since only once device can connect to the commercial vpn servers at a time, this means we would need several accounts. So, from a network design standpoint, is it possible to put all of my devices on my home network, via vpn, no matter where they are in the world, and then have all traffic go through the commercial vpn? I am trying to find a way to encrypt and protect devices when they are not behind my pfsense box, without putting information into each packet that a hacker could intercept and use. Comments welcome.

korith Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I have used torguard.net , for about 2 years now. Their regular price is fairly cheap, $30 for 6 months. If you check their announcements page, or on the various deal sites, they have deals every few months. Lots of different servers in a bunch countries. Can use on 5 devices at a time. Speeds are decent, usually streaming video to bypass region blocks or torrents. Think the longest I've had to wait on a reply from their support is maybe 12 hours, usually just a few hours. Could always use the vpn from the router as well, if you have more than 5 devices. I use dd-wrt and it has that option. Think stock firmware on some routers should have it as well.

willieaames Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) PureVPN is the first provider I tried out and im using it for netflix streaming. I have had next to no problems since day one. There was one time when one server disconnected me a few times, but I switched to another and everything was fine again. Aside from that minor glitch, I have had no problems with their service. Everything runs smooth. Purevpn supports multi login, Openvpn. They also have SmartDns and web protection addons for military grade encryption.

korith Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Torguard is having a promotion at the moment till the end of the month. I can't remember the exact price, but I believe the last black friday prices were similar. I'm already paid up till next year sometime. TorGuard.net has 50% off TorGuard Services w/ promotional code TGLIFETIME50. VPN Service $4.99/month or $29.99/year Proxy Service $2.98/month or $23.47/year Encrypted Email $3.48/month or $24.97/year More info here http://slickdeals.net/f/7768069-torguard-50-off-vpn-service-30-year-proxy-service-23-50-year I've been using them for 3 years now. They keep adding in more servers in different countries which is great. Haven't had any issues with the service, I tend to leave the vpn on most of the time. Working great for streaming and torrents.
