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:

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.

I've used Hulu on my Fire TV stick on my TV. FastestVPN has an app for Fire TV.

I signed up for their Pro level of service. The servers are faster and there are more of them. BUT, their Pro level only works with their app. They do not offer Pro level OVPN files for OpenVPN access at this time, something that their website does not disclose prior to you signing up. I'm not a fan of their app, so I cancelled the Pro service without any issues. A simple chat session was all it took to cancel. They said they would notify me when Pro OVPN files are available. I have no complaints. Getting their lifetime service for $17 was money well spent, IMO.
I have, and have had, other VPN services. FastestVPN is my preferred VPN due to it being headquartered in the Cayman Islands.

For those having problems with their IP getting leaked if the connection drops when they are using torrents or P2P, you must configure your torrent client to be bound to only the VPN interface and not simply allow it to connect out on whatever interface it wants.
It's definitely worth $16 for a lifetime sub if you need a basic VPN. I don't think it's going anywhere, it's just not hassle free. On the plus side they're actively upgrading the app and their live chat and email support is very responsive. Source: just some dude that downloads stuff
Others have already mentioned the risks with such a low cost provider. For me personally, the fact that they aren't even detail oriented enough to deactivate a 2020 discount code doesn't reassure me as far as their infosec practices.
