Do not trust anything with fastest / best / pro / etc in their branding ...especially contractors
...
For those who want to replace the default Windows Fastest VPN manager with a much more robust option - Eddie VPN client:

Configure Eddie with non-AirVPN:

FastestVPN *.ovpn files (use the ones for Android):

The generic UI is not yet enabled by default, use Preferences -> Advanced -> Multi-provider support. In "Providers" screen, click the pencil to edit for FastestVPN settings such as password.
...
Torrents seem to work, but do not have any incoming ports. So you will download only from those who have their ports open for incoming connections.

don't touch anything related to banking / finances, crypto and anything sensitive requiring a password and you will be good to go.
They will be MiTM / mining traffic data, along with your personal information... Ad injections seem also very likely, as they strive to cover bandwidth costs.
You have to be a very special kind of fool to trust some random password manager ("PassHulk"

almost all the "VPN Reviews" are shills and untrustworthy garbage -- there are tons of them on YT & blog spam articles ridden this "BEST VPN" reviews
All these guys care about is clicking through their "special link" (or using their promo code) to get commission from a new user signup. Zero Fks are given about anything else.
1) Netflix US
2) Netflix UK
3) HBO Max
4) Disney Plus
5) Hulu
I've used Hulu on my Fire TV stick on my TV. FastestVPN has an app for Fire TV.

many outlets don't work or underperform, so it takes a while to find reliable ones.
it prefers using usa based outlets which are not useful if you mostly need to p2p,
so if you p2p try Europe because their canadian outlets are surprisingly bad here.
disconnect notification and reconnect logic of the client is poor, so i often found
myself not protected by the vpn at all, just the client running saying to connect.
it tries to keep a service running all the time, even when the client is unloaded,
i have to go into task manager and manually stop this cpu hog between uses.
as vpn client/services go (i've regularly used a half dozen paid over the years)
i'd rate this one "fair" for occasional use only, and definitely not as a router vpn.
sorry, i have not tried this for spoofing international netflix and streaming tricks,
but i can say it works for watching anime that's only available in japan/oceania,
and watching UK programming only available to british tv tax payers.
Key word: "Sagi is the founder of the gambling software company" ... "This company was best-known for making a software development kit for browser integration/hijacking used by multiple adware."

Teddy Sagi (Hebrew: טדי שגיא; born 1971) is a Cypriot-Israeli[1] billionaire businessman, partially based in London. Sagi is the founder of the gambling software company Playtech and owner of London's Camden Market. His personal wealth is estimated at US$3.6 billion, with interests in real estate, gambling software, payments processing, and digital advertising.[2][3]
Kape Technologies plc
In late 2012 Sagi acquired the start-up company Crossrider for $37 million. The company went public on AIM at a value of $US 250M. This company was best-known for making a software development kit for browser integration/hijacking used by multiple adware.[11]
In June 2016 following the appointment of new management team, the company changed its strategy to focus to Cyber-security with a focus on Digital Privacy and Protection of digital data. In practical terms, the company stopped its browser SDK business to focus on the VPN sector, purchasing CyberGhost VPN in 2017.[12] In March 2018 the name of the company was changed to Kape Technologies plc.[13] Kape then purchased Zenmate in 2018, Private Internet Access in 2019 and ExpressVPN in 2021, all VPN carriers. It also acquired the VPN review publisher Webselenese in 2021.[12]

this is a very comprehensive google doc analyzing countless VPN and all their characteristics, which I'd used years back to short list a few providers. It may not be updated in a while, but still can be a good reference doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadshe...edi

Note slickdeals has pushed this to the front page because there's affiliate $$ / commission being paid out for every sign up...
SD shilling deals is extremely common (every outbound link from this website is also monetized) and due to the recent FTC guidelines they are required to include a disclosure, which was in very small grey text on posts, but has evolved into a banner at the top of every page.

From sometime back, but this is a instant ban worthy: https://www.dailydot.co
>The company behind Hola is turning your computer into a node on a botnet, and selling your network to anyone who is willing to pay.
...
>Additionally, Hola can let someone take over programs on your computer.
This is what happens when you use cheap & free VPNs.
