VPN Recommendations for pfSense?
-
Thats sums up some of the work of the NSA & other spooks.
Nothing is perfect but you want to make it as hard as possible for them. No free lunch for snoops.

here it is explained properly why not to use VPNs services from USA.

Definitely plenty VPN providers around nowadays that are based outside of US jurisdiction and law.
Very relevant to this entire topic thread: I just wrote up this 10,000+ word "ultimate guide to privacy" – http://fried.com/privacy , and would really like feedback on it. I want it to be as useful and all-encompassing at is can be, so any feedback or suggested additions are hugely appreciated guys.

WHICH VPN SERVICES TAKE YOUR ANONYMITY SERIOUSLY? 2016 EDITION
-
AirVPN

I like Cyberghost

I've said it here before, but I like running my own VPS so that I can implement OpenVPN on it and then I am SURE that no logs are being stored. You can rent some VPSes for like $5/month. A few of those around the world and you have your own VPN network chain with multiple PoPs.
As for that VPN Privacy survey dealie, I don't really trust the entity to accurately report on itself. "Do you keep logs?" "NO WAY MAN!!!" Except that they do, and you can't prove it, and there is no penalty for them lying to you. That is why I refuse to rely on a 3rd-party service for privacy. Granted I don't really care too much about logging. I'm not hacking the Pentagon, and the RIAA/MPAA can kiss my shiny metal ass since I'm not in the US.
-
My vote goes to Private Internet Access - their "no logs" was tested with a court order (look on torrentfreak.com you should be able to find the article.) Service is reliable based on my experience and can't beat the price.
Renting your own box is a pretty bad idea since anything in or out of it will be traced back to you very easily.
If you need more security then you should likely nest VPNs.

How so? They would either have to have direct control over my box, or be in a position to monitor the traffic coming and going from my host. If they're already at that point, you're screwed anyway. I didn't mention that I'm also a Tor exit node, so I have a shit-ton of random traffic flying around at a sustained 10 Mb/s.

@KOM:

Being a Tor Exit point may give you "plausible deniability" and help you "hide in a crowd", but if your remote host IP becomes the subject of interest - all they have to do is "ask" the entity renting the host, and that exit IP is directly traceable to you. If it comes from VPNx, then they have to "ask" VPNx, and if they don't have logs, then VPNx can say "no idea, we don't log".
-
They can say I rent the box, but they have no insight into what's going on there. There is so much traffic that, like you said, there is plausible deniability. I still have zero trust in any VPN service that claims to not log. Given time, there will be laws in all countries that force VPN companies to log all traffic in the name of "national security".
-
If it goes though the US, then it's likely all being vacuumed up and stored on a hard drive far for analysis anyway. ;-)

For specifically pfSense you should need to use Expressvpn for it, it has huge numbers of location and with fastest connection. you can easily setup and install on your other devices as well. it will provide you military grade encryption upto 128bit which is strongest by comparing other VPN service providers.
-
Check these Fastest VPN Services List and choose the best VPN for you, I didnt want to recommend any VPN because everyone knows what to buy and what not to buy. Read all the reviews and buy the Best VPN.
-
This list used to be on Reddit but I see that the guy started hosting his own website now. I find the list to be very comprehensive. "Seems" to be impartial as well.

IMO I like PIA or AirVPN.

I found NordVPN to be a reliable one even on this site. There are other guides on most secure VPNs working with PfSense

Well there are many VPN services available on net but you should research first which suits you. I personally recommend **[which I'm using myself it's the best one.

Old thread got necro'd, it was interesting reading through the opinions from a few years ago.
The most interesting thing I saw was a lot of people talking about hiding from the NSA, US Gov't, and what the best way to do this might be.
This is silly.
If you are trying to hide from the NSA or US Gov't, you cannot. I don't care what you do, you can't succeed. Nothing you do can begin to hide you from them. Best case scenario, you've got a PhD in cryptography or three, you're rich and you've dedicated tremendous resources to your privacy. Great, they have a few thousand people smarter than you on their payroll, virtually limitless resources, and they are the worlds most powerful government…. What are you thinking? These people penetrate nation states, "air-gapped" nuclear facilities, and log the activities of the public of the United States of America, and you are discussing whether a VPS or VPN is the best choice to avoid them :o?
Then I saw someone post an alternative as routing all of your traffic through an Iranian VPN ;D. Wow. You've solved it!
You do have one really powerful tool in your arsenal though, they don't care about you :). Why would they?
The only organizations you
have toare able to hide from are the general public, script kiddies, your ISP if you care, maybe some DMCA notices?
For those - pick any provider that gives you AES-128, SHA-2xx, RSA-2048. You are more than safe from any hacker that is going to take their time to work on you at least as far as a VPN is concerned - they'll just take an easier avenue anyways.It is highly unlikely that you will ever come under a concentrated attack or scrutiny for what you do on the internet.
As far as your ISP or the MPAA is concerned, use an enigma. Neither one of those entities are going to decrypt your traffic. Aside from the legal shitstorm of hacking a persons encrypted data it would be a media nightmare for them and what do they have to gain? They simply are not going to even attempt to decrypt your data, ever.
I'm all for VPN's and whatnot, I use them too. In fact I push most of the machines on my network out through an AES-256 VPN all the time just because my old cheap hardware can do it so why not? But I have no delusions about who I am and am not hiding from.
Just use a VPN, the rest of the details really are not that important at all.

Well said pfBasic….
I have used Vyper and PIA...
The bad:
PIA does not have great support(not that you need a lot)
PIA sends me to a company called Logicweb???
I couldn't find good instructions for Vyper
Vyper was more expensive then PIAThe good:
Easy instructions for PIA https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/pfsense although not the highest encryption.
Vyper had better supportI would start with PIA month-to-month and then change if you want
