VPN recommendations, again

[Mark Phillips]

I have been using VPN Unlimited on a lifetime plan for a couple of years,
and have no issues with it. I think I paid $50 for a lifetime subscription.

Here is an offer for a lifetime plan for $30:

It has special servers for torrents, if you are interested in that sort of
thing. There are servers all over the globe. The software has been updated
a couple of time, and it uses openvpn. It runs on my Android and iOS
devices as well as Linux boxes.

It pretty much just works.

PS I do not get a kickback if you join through that link. ;)
