Hello, my vpn subscription will soon end so I am looking for reviews about good private VPN. I will probably stick with proton or try airvpn or PIA but I just wanna know if someone tried Geph VPN.

I didn’t find any review on reddit or lemmy. Seems like a chinese VPN but if a VPN works well in China and has good privacy policies it’s probably the winning combo.

    Avoid “Private Internet Access” at all cost. It’s run by Kape Technologies, a company behind multiple VPN providers like ExpressVPN, Cyberghost.

    If you read their legal agreements, you notice that they’ll are rather questionable.

    Also don’t use a VPN by a chinese provider, as far as I’m aware, Chinese companies are heavily regulated and legally required to share data with the chinese government without a warrant or similar.

    I would suggest to take a look at this chart which might be helpful: https://vpn.techlore.tech/

    Depends on what you need a VPN for.

    I don’t know them but they seems to be from Estonia marketing themselves for evading censorship. Are you in a country that censor VPN? If not why do you think the tradeoff might be worth? The 2 hops should have an impact on bandwidth and latency and there is probably no port forwarding.

    Using a VPN is just moving your trust from your ISP to the VPN. Why would you trust a VPN you know nothing about giving them access to all your internet traffic?
