The short answer
Yes, still a top pick — but not for everyone. Here's the honest breakdown.
What's great
- Speed: consistently fast across EU and US servers
- Privacy: no-logs policy, audited, Panama jurisdiction
- Apps on every platform, 6,000+ servers
- 40% affiliate commission + 30% on renewals
What's not
- Long-term plans only for the best price (2 years)
- The "everyone recommends it" fatigue is real
- Free alternatives (Proton VPN) are good enough for light use
Who should buy
Anyone using public Wi-Fi for banking or work. It's the cheapest insurance you'll buy all year.
