I’ve been researching the best VPN providers and want to know, what does Reddit think is the best VPN in 2025? I know free VPNs can be good for some things, but I’ve heard paid ones are usually better for speed and security. I’ve done quite a bit of digging and found some popular paid VPNs, but I’m still unsure which one to pick. Here’s what I’ve come across so far:

1. NordVPN: A popular VPN with lots of servers around the world. It’s known for being fast, secure, and a solid option for streaming.
2. Mullvad: A straightforward VPN that doesn’t require much personal information. It’s focused on privacy and has a pretty transparent setup.
3. Surfshark: A newer VPN that’s been getting attention lately. It’s affordable, lets you connect unlimited devices, and seems to work well for most users.
4. ProtonVPN: Created by the team behind ProtonMail, it’s all about privacy and security. They offer a free version, but the paid plan has extra features.
5. Private Internet Access (PIA): Known for its large server network, PIA works across different devices and is a reliable option for keeping things private.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on these:

Even though I’m mainly looking at paid options, if you know of an outstanding free VPN, I’d like to hear about that too. Looking forward to your recommendations!
