Do you use a VPN app on your cellphone? Which one and any issues?

I’m thinking about downloading and installing a VPN on my iPhone. If I’m somewhere with open WiFi, I usually turn it off and just surf via my cellular data service.

I was recommended Turbo VPN. You can even pick where it looks like you are coming from.

Thoughts?

This is my friend’s google page with the VPN on. A little scary for me :)

I am still rockin my Motorola Razer so can't comment fully. I use Ivacy at home and you are allowed to install it on up to 10 devices including phones.

On the PC I can choose country or city to connect to or allow it to choose.

Right now the deal is 5 years at $1.33 / month

I am interested in what people have to say on this. Thanks for the good topic, Joe. I will follow along.
 
All these of these look great. I played around a little with ExpressVPN. Very cool. Wonder why I waited so long to try one. I’ll check out the others too.

Thank you so much so far.

A lifetime subscription to FastestVPN is now just $40

Joe.......Sometimes certain things seem too good to be true (or legit). I have to wonder about a $40 lifetime subscription, how secure it really is, particularly since [FONT=&quot]FastestVPN is a Cayman Island-based company. I may be barking up the wrong tree, but this deal seems suspicious to me.[/FONT]
 
I know, I just thought I’d throw it out there. One of the other three mentioned seem great. I’m still playing around with them.
 
I use NordVPN when travelling. I'm an avid Android fan tbh so I have to have the best privacy tool that VPNs can offer. This guide that by far, these are the best VPN apps for mobile users:


1. NordVPN
2. ExpressVPN
3. SurfShark
4. PIA
5. TunnelBear
 
I ended up buying ExpressVPN and have it installed on everything. It seems pretty solid.
 
Hi Dan,

It ended up costing $99.95 for 12 months (8.32 per day) with 30 day money back guarantee. I don’t remember if the trial was a week or a month but it seems pretty quick. I’m not doing anything that requires a lot of speed but for the most part, I don’t even think about it. I don’t notice any hiccups. I do have unlimited data on my Verizon plan and sometimes turn off WiFi depending on what I’m doing. I usually keep the VPN going. I only connect to known WiFi also. I don’t know if this is the safest way to use it but I’m hoping.

Dan, as long as you use their "smart connection" location or one of the recommended locations I can't notice a huge difference in speed. Over here we use a 4g router so it's pretty important that we keep as much speed as possible. I do notice if the wife changes the location to somewhere in the USA instead of Europe while using our magic jack phone. 95% of the time it's because of our crap internet not Express VPN. If we were using 100mbps internet or faster like what's available in the states I can't imagine there would be a huge difference between most location selections.
