Any (Free) VPN service to recommend?

Again, not free, but I've tried out Privacy.io, and it's pretty good. They don't keep logs and they allow port 25.

I've been using Witopia since six months. The prices were just too good to be true... $40 for a year PPTP VPN with unlimited transfer sounds unreal. So I just tried them, hoping the connection speed would be useful enough. But hey... servers in Europe even max out my connection. Impressive. Since 6 months no issues.

What i-net connection do you have (xx MBit downstream)?

Would you be so kind to provide a few speedtests? European servers would be sufficient.

Tia,

Thanks a lot.

I'm using HMA (via OpenVPN) atm and even servers in my own country cap my downloadspeed to approx. half of my max download speed (in this case 8mbit). New York is even worse, I can't get more than 2 mbit at max.

Don't know if it makes any difference (256bit (OpenVPN) vs. 128bit (PPTP) encryption strength) though.

Maybe it's time for a change (although I don't like annual payments)...
