I've only tried one VPN so far. Been using Mullvad for a few months. The only problem I've had is that I can't get their client to work on Windows 7 if I'm not signed in as an administrator. That might be a problem on my end though and it works with OpenVPN anyway.

Apparently VPN speed can vary depending on where you live but I haven't noticed any speed issues with Mullvad in the UK. thatoneprivacysite has a lot of useful information on different VPNs. Took me ages to decide on one!

This actually added a lot of good content on the same topic. Niall and Sam were talking about the same issue, not just filter bubbles but online attention dynamics amplifying off of one other. Niall actually likened our current times to the invention of the printing press.
