VPN Recommendations for pfSense?
-
Hi,
I am looking into VPN's for pfSesne and am wondering what people are using out there?
I am after performance, no logs, reasonably priced of course, US servers etc…
Any recommendations would be great, thanks.

Spammiest article ever. Probably wrong too. Last I heard VyprVPN logs the crap out of what you do and keeps the info for 90 days.
Go with PIA.

Private Internet Access is awesome, i have been using them for about 6 months now. Pfsense is connected 100% of the time.

I also recommend Private Internet Access. I've been with them for about a month now. pfSense is connected 100% of the time and speeds are great. It's hard to beat their price too.

thanks,
Private Internet Access does look good. ill give them a shot.
-
If I so impolitely (I'm Dutch, we're world famous for that ;D) could ask a question to the above peoples who endorse PIA: how did you get it to work? Because I am having a very hard time doing that, and I bought my trial based on the comments in this - and another - thread.
I've documented my struggle here:

I'd be in debt for the golden tip ;D
Thank you in advance,

Yeah, i am actually on Google Fiber's 1Gbps plan and can pull around 700-800 through the VPN tunnel pretty consistently, without much latency added.

Wow. :o That's in a different league to VPNs I've tried (and given up on).

Consider using Hidemyass. It's compatible to all kinds of devices and you can be sure that your connection won't drop. It is also fast and reliable.

AirVPN

I can confirm the reliability of PIA, as it is on almost all of the time and hardly has any speed loss which actually makes me wonder if any traffic is actually encrypted at all (my external IP does change when using it, that it does).
However, on another note: I have just been advised (again) to ditch it yesterday as it is considered one big data warehouse.
The bold 'again' is because it has been said before by wise men in this thread: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=63976.
The recommended approach is to use your own VPS, and even multiple of them in a chain. The problem is: a lot of work to install, maintain and pay for for a SOHO user :-[
I also do recognize that the 1001 'VPN-review sites' are simply marketing scams, in which providers pay for a nice review. Couple that with user complaints being deleted from the 'customer support' 'forums', and it is a very easy job to scam people into paying. Of course, if you really want to perfect the money scam you will not provide a free trial but 'offer money back' (for which the customer will have to wait six months, will have to send 147 angry reminder emails which will not be answerred, and due to which the customer will almost get a heart attack out of angriness over the scum at the other side of the line), you will have no contact information aside from an email form on your website and a 'really professional looking' business adress which actually is a rented square meter in a 'suite' in a 'business location center', and you will of course ignore any questions about who owns the hardware, the qualifications of the technical staff, and so on.
Most of these scams are so easy to see through ;D
That being said, I am currently looking at some other VPN-providers (despite understanding the chaining of VPS's would be superior), and will report back my findings.
The hosting on amazon would be nice too (the response in the thread I linked to in the above), but I still haven't found how to do this.

I have VyperVPN as part of a Usenet package I subscribe to. I wouldn't think of using it for private stuff. The US surveillance regime has already corrupted every IT company on Earth. Like someone else already said, the only way to do VPN these days is to do it yourself with a VPS, and even then you don't know if you're actually secure or not. I already rent a VPS just to act as a Tor Exit Node. Maybe I should look into configuring some sort of VPN on it.
-
I would suggest PureVPN must check out its details and features.. They don't logs, reasonable price and multiple servers in US.. I hope compatible with pfsense
-
no logs … US servers
ROFL. Good luck.
If any of you believe that you are using a non-logging public VPN service in the USA that is truly private that you didn't set up yourself, you are delusional.
-
Do not go for PIA, it's US-based.
Here are some VPN's from my list (feel free to disagree with me on these, also say why):
BolehVPN, Proxy.sh, Mullvad, AirVPN, Cyber Ghost, VPN.ac -
IPVanish is best for USA in 2015 I hope it will support pfsense as well.. IPVanish offer good speed and don't keep logs. have US and other countries servers with great protocols.
-
No logging, specific country, speed, unlimited bandwidth… there are many angles to choose from. The least expensive one I found is from vpn.sh - 2 GBP per month. Good for light use. In fact I got an offer 2 GBP per year recurring plan. Now second year.
-
Seriously, if you are worried about logs, don't go with any commercial VPN provider. Rent your own VPS for $10-20/month and run your own VPN on it, as well as lots of other cool stuff. All these VPN providers taht say they don't log… how do you know, and why would you take them at their word? Run your own box and be done with the uncertainty.
