There has not been a review here for some time so I thought I would add my own. I have only ever used AIRVPN and I have no regrets. I am not tech savvy, I do not know about configuring DNS etc, so I rely on Eddie and for me it works brilliantly. Here is my list of good and bad: Bad: some of the answers you receive to a question are very technical and hard for an average user to understand. It does not seem to be as bad as before, but I remember when I first joined about ten years ago I asked a question and received a response by the staff that seemed like it was written by a lawyer. Sure it answered the question, but another forum member had to explain it to me. As I said, this doesn’t seem to be so much the case now, at least not in my experience. Secondly for me is the Vancouver servers are always maxed out at night, I live in British Columbia and wish to use a close server, but often I have to use the Southern USA servers. Well that is it, can I come up with something else? I could sit here and say “five eyes etc” but I won’t, to me it doesn’t matter. Good: First the cost, if you get it during sales you can obtain a three year subscription for about the cost of one and a half years, good deal. Secondly is the Eddie interface, if you have no clue what you are doing the GUI is wonderful, easy to use just select a server and go. Third is the DNS configurations, being able to block adult and gambling sites is great, I have been using other DNS servers to block this stuff but have recently discovered I can nuke it all using AIRVPN and if a site gets through you can add it easily, I have no clue how to do that with the other ones you would configure via your router. Fourth is the speed. I am on wireless and I receive speeds of about 90-95% with tcp. At first I was only receiving about 10% of my speed and wanted my money back but the staff here contacted me and asked if we could troubleshoot first, an email or two later and all was correct. Fifth is the community. If you are unsure about something you can post a question and you will receive a respectful answer, even if the question may be considered dumb (for lack of better words) to some users. So all in all I am a happy AIRVPN user and I think I am safe and secure with them. That they are run by activist and not people just wanting to make bags of cash is a stellar selling point. I hope this helps anyone who reads it and my be considering whether or not to obtain a subscription. I am more than willing to answer questions if you have any.

An installed app has infinitely many more options to acquire your geolocation data. (You are being punished by DRM, so why would you keep paying them?) It is much easier to lock down a browser to not leak info. If you want to get down to it, start with a computer browser. Make sure the obvious things are taken care of first: language settings, regional, time zone, WebRTC, DNS leaks and geoDNS (you're sent a server IP that's nearby). Use browserleaks website to verify. If it works, try to repeat on mobile browser. I wouldn't be surprised if the system's DRM libraries (like Widevine) have or soon will have user's geolocation detection. When that happens, it'll be game over for watching abroad. They obviously care about user experience
