If it's just for Chrome, I use ZenMate - works brilliantly with Netflix and other web-based stuff.

Two years ago I used Hide My Ass to watch F1 and such. 5$ wasn't too bad (seems their price went up).
Last year I used the Smart DNS from OverPlay, was quite pleased with their support. They had a great list of servers, was nice to have a Belgian one at my disposal. They also offer VPN.

Hmm I tried that one (PIA). I regard it as malware now.
If the client gets started it creates 2 processes called piamanager.exe.
One of those (or both) spawn 2 other processes called rubyw.exe (Google it).
Those I noticed will start parsing your HDD, really for a VPN client?
Both piamanger.exe processes will be replaced with a pia_tray.exe process.
When connected I noticed some times that the VPN client started to access my HDD again.
Did not investigate that thoroughly but it seems the client was writing stuff to my HDD.
=> uninstall

Don't use the client then

I've always used SoftEther VPN. Free of charge, fast, open-source, tons of countries to choose from.

lol, utter nonsense.
Been using PIA for over a year now, albeit not through their client, but I have it set in my router  and have it set to route certain machines (via IP Tables) to VPN, others not. So 2 x media systems through Netherlands server (UK here so we need that lol), 1 system routed to a USA server for 'other' purposes , and my main system on normal, but can switch to whatever server I want at the flick of a switch.
PIA is brilliant, fast, and damn cheap to boot

Best one there is, in my opinion. |
Just bought this one too for one year after some researching.
Very satisfied so far. Ping nearly doubled, but that was expected.
Bandwith itself is like without VPN: 100 MBit Download.
The only problem i have is with some Notebooks that are connected to another router over WLAN.
Without VPN they reach about 100 MBit too over WLAN. With VPN it's only 4 MBit. 
I use their application for connecting.
Have to do some research for this problem, meh. |
PIA is what I use, its pretty good. One thing to note though...
Best having it set up at router level, rather than using a VPN app, if your router supports it. I'm using Merlin's FW on my RT-AC68U with policy based routing.
However...
No router to date has given better then 60 mb/s on a VPN, regardless if your ISP connection is 1000 mb/s. Normal behaviour, due to most routers being very CPU limited, so the expected speeds will be in the range of 10 mb/s in reality.
Dual core CPU routers will give you better performance, but were a long way from seeing routers with anything faster, yet.
Setting up 'pfsence' on a computer would be the way to go, if you require full speed from the VPN, but that is a minefield in itself, and not for the faint hearted

Yep i tried to set up it directly on the router. But as you said, performance was bad.
So i'm using OpenVPN with PIAs configs now on several PCs.
What i noticed though after a few weeks of being a customer:
Many websites started to spam me with that Cloudflare crap if i used Germany location. Changed to Netherlands and there it started to some weeks later. Currently using the UK one, and seems good so far. Bandwith is only about 70-80% there, compared to Germany.
Don't know if i will subscribe again to them after that Cloudflare shit, which went on for a few months for me.
