  1. Your site hit the nail on the head. I found the best VPN for Gaming at this site http://thebestproxyserver.com/cyberscrub/

  2. Very very unreliable, trying out the world of VPN after reading many good reviews.

    Terrible stability, very high price for what you get.

    NORDvpn was recommended by number of review sites, they were all VERY WRONG.

    The one good point I suppose, is that NORD do not track usage, which you would think is one of the main reasons for using a VPN.

    The world of VPN will have to improve a lot!

  3. I prefer VPN over proxy because the traffic is encrypted. I would be extremely cautious about using any public proxy. Setting up your own VPN or GoAgent is not that tricky for someone who knows a little about Linux, but if you want a few IPs (eg. US, UK), then you need to setup (and maybe pay for) 2 servers.

    I still think using a VPN is the best way to get the job done. ExpressVPN seems to be good but I have not used it. I use SenVPN (senvpn.com), it's cheaper and works like a charm.
