Thanks @mandog!
I have been using it ON/OFF and have not had any issues. But I am grateful for any second opinion and for suggestions.
They do good offers when you pay monthly really good offers like £64 for 2 years and another year free.

I’ll keep an eye on their site. They use to email me as well with offers but it has been a while since last time. I’ve still got some more months left of my current subscription so let’s see what will be. Thanks again for the info. I appreciate it.
I had one of these 2 year special price offers with NordVPn as well, the VPN worked fine and reliable. Even allowed my kids to get to US Netflix via a Canadian exit node.
What made me leave was the fact that their Android client had too many Google/Facebook and whathaveyou trackers in it. I am now running a Wirguard VPN from my own server. Obviously won’t help with Netflix 
The other good thing with Nordvpn you can use multible devices on 1 subscription

With Expressvpn, 5 devices can be connected at one time. Never tested that, lol, but it’s a cool feature.
I use ProtonVPN. Choosed it because i was already a ProtonMail user.

PIA is pretty good with that too - they allow 10 devices I think. Currently I am only using 4 computers, 2 tablets and a phone

3 to go, lol. 
I’m just using the main desktop. Anything else is dumped or dormant (2 backup laptops) plus old phone/no wifi etc, but at least it’s good to know there’s not any bad restrictions about number of devices, if needed. Mixture of desktop/laptops? or a big nasa-style 4-desktop control centre? 
Just 2 main use computers (on a KVM) - one laptop left over from my sister, with an Arch on it (for learning about BIOS Arch installs) - 1 older computer hooked to the TV for various reasons - 2 tablets because I swap them as battery runs out, for reading and streaming on smoke breaks - and the phone, just because. I tend to implement ideas first - then decide if they are good ideas later…

If you want privacy to a certain degree, use a VPN.
If you want privacy to the max, use Tails OS.

Someone, perhaps using Tails, just liked your post 
It must have been a hell of a guy!

lol, that was me … ‘like’ for advising VPN/privacy. I’ve not used Tails, but great advice to give also, from what I’ve noticed about it.

ProtonVPN on an Asus AC68U router. I’ve had ProtonVPN for a few years now. I have a fast line. 500/500Mbit/s. Only gets 50 in both directions on the router. With ProtonVPN’s program a couple of 100Mbit/s. I do not need more speed on VPN.

Been with PIA for 4 years now mainly because I was on mint and they sponsored mint. Good reliable service but not the quickest. Trying Nordvpn atm, its faster than PIA but the speed isn’t consistent. Really would like to find a vpn with solid speeds over 100mb
Tor would be better for privacy than a VPN. Also never use Tor over a VPN as that creates a single node directly traceable to you if someone knows what they’re looking for.
Keep in mind VPNs mostly protect you from people snooping on your connection they DON’T hide your online habits. If you use a VPN and maintain the same online personas, go to the same place, say the same things, etc. Your VPN is only stopping your ISP or someone on public WiFi snooping, slightly hiding your real IP, and nothing else really.

You’re so right! Many people seem to think that a VPN solves everything. I almost never have my VPN on. It can be good to hide your IP sometimes! But for the most part, it’s unnecessary.
