Best VPN for Mac?

I never had a VPN, and am wondering what the best, most elegant, cheapest solution is. Would be awesome if it wasn’t a subscription but I may be too hopeful!

UPDATE: I went with Windscribe for $29/yr. Thanks for all the input! Any windscribe tip? So far running great on my mac studio but can i set it up on my wife’s MBP and our phones? Also which protocol is best?

Mullvad vpn
€5 a month without any of those 2 or 3 years of contract

ClearVPN or ProtonVPN.

I pay 3 bucks a month for windscribe and it works without issues

I thought PIA was the best until I switched to Mullvad

Using PIA, works fine

I wonder how many downvotes I’ll get for suggesting Nord, which is what I use after getting a cheap three year deal on it. Evidently, it advertises on YouTube a lot which really pisses some people off. In my experience Nord servers are fast, it’s custom DNS service works well and I appreciate having it on two Macs, two iPads, two iPhones and an AppleTV off of one subscription. In the non-Reddit world it gets great reviews.

What do you want to do with it?

Any thoughts on Cloudflare Warp? It claims to keep your internet private, but is it equivalent to a VPN?

Proton VPN any day for me

ProtonVPN is decent. $60 a year paid annually. Their private email is nice as well.

I use Windscribe and am pretty happy with it. They run decent promotions every so often.

Proton deserves and earns respect but if you require speed, Nord! I have used many vpns and Nord has been by far the fastest (should mention I am in USA)

Mullvad, Windscribe, NymVPN , proton

I have had great experience with NordVPN. I’m not judging it based on ‘elegance’ though – it’s been rock solid, has gotten through content blocking, and works across all my devices (Windows, MacOS, Android, Streaming boxes).

I had ExpressVPN. I was quite happy with it.

I used Mullvad for a while and it’s good, but Nord has more features for around half the price

I use FastestVPN. It does the job

Windscribe still has their 29$ a year promotion up. It will renew at that price as well.

Based on suggestions i have narrowed down to surfshark, mullvad, and windscribe. Thoughts between these?
