They also offer a native Android client. As a macOS / iOS user, I unfortunately missed these options. - ProtonVPN's plans are not technically "capped" but they suggest the low/medium/high speeds on the plans page due to server load. I've suggested they make this much clearer on the page. ### Find the video helpful? ### Support my work and get access to exclusive perks on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ummjackson ### Follow me on Twitter ### https://twitter.com/ummjackson ### Links mentioned ### The One Privacy Site: https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/ PIA's comment on being in a 5 Eyes jurisdiction: https://helpdesk.privateinternetaccess.com/hc/en-us/articles/229705288-Is-Private-Internet-Access-Located-In-A-Fourteen-Eyes-Country- ### Sign up with one of the reviewed VPNs ### * Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate/referral links - I will receive a small amount of money for any signups - but that helps me create more videos just like this one :) Private Internet Access: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/buy-vpn/jpalmer NordVPN: https://nordvpn.org/jackson (use coupon code "jackson" for 77% off ExpressVPN: https://www.expressvpn.com/ / https://www.linkev.com/?a_fid=ummjackson Mullvad: https://mullvad.net/en/ ProtonVPN: https://protonvpn.com/ ### Download/Upload speeds from tests (on 100mbps link) ### PIA: D: 88 U: 90.7 NordVPN: D: 89.6 U: 90.2 Mullvad: D: 79 U: 91.9 ExpressVPN: D: 79.9 U: 81.1 ProtonVPN: D: 83.4 U: 59.7 Music: https://soundcloud.com/aka-dj-quads/roadtrip
