I will be travelling to some places where VPNs are almost essential to get around on the internet and also to provide some form of entertainment. Looking for reccomendations on a decent VPN where I will be abel to 1) use it on ipad, phone, and pc 2) looking for something with ease of use and 3) also be able to sellect the location of the vpn server (for the likes of netflix and showmax). Any suggestions and info would be greatly appreciated.

Fast too...seen it go above 50mbps so easily fast enough to stream 1080 through it. Obviously depends on what internet link you're on.

There was an article recently (cant remember from where, I dont think it was TF) that looked at the success rates for requests for information about users on various VPN providers. I remember PIA stuck out because I used them and yet they had a non zero response rate for information. They log CC and email to account number. The actual data isnt logged but with enough effort and cross referencing you can find out if a certain someone was using PIA's VPN service.
Not a problem for 99% of "legitimate" users, but I just find it disingenuous if you say privacy is your main policy when you keep a log (albeit the most basic form that requires a significant amount of resources to tie to an individual)
On your google docs link too it says it doesnt allow anonymous account creation (PIA requires email) and has a strictly no Warrant Canary policy.

Interesting @ response rate.
I'd be surprised if any of them don't do this...you'll have a hard time running a business if you don't know which account goes with what. How would you do billing? Or know which account to kill if a CC turns out to be fraudulent. etc etc.
I asked the PIA rep about this. He was like well then use bitcoins and a fake name & email address. Think I used mailinator initially...but now its just under my primary email address. Not that concerned anyway...
