Recommended VPN

Anyone here using a VPN that they like? I just tried IPVanish but after a horrible week struggling with their software I cancelled. Looking forward to some alternatives. Thanks.

You can easily buy one VPS in which country you like and install on it OpenVpn.

Would choosing just one country affect speed if I was to travel? I travel quite a lot so was looking for a VPN with some global coverage.

If you travel often like I do, then having a private VPN server in a single country wouldn't be ideal. Speed would be a big issue if you're travelling far from where the server is. Also, from an anonymity perspective, it's better to use a VPN service since the IP addresses are shared by other users, making it harder for it to be traced back to one user.

I use NordVPN and they've been great so far. They don't log any data, are based in Panama, and accept Bitcoin as well. I also used Tunnelbear in the past and they were good as well. Here's a good list of VPN services: Which VPN Services Keep You Anonymous in 2017? - TorrentFreak
