Hello Everyone!
Could any of you recommend me a good reliable VPN service in germany?
-Don't want to use 3rd party software.
-I want to set the connection via the application (browser/torrent app)
-Or maybe via my router
Anyone?
Thanks!

AirVPN.
You can export the settings of each country (and even each server there) separately, and import it for example into OpenVPN or a compatible router.
I Used PIA before them. But their support was shit and more and more websites greated me with that retarded Cloudflare Captcha.
Their speed was much better than AirVPN though. Maxed my 100Mbit connection most of the time with ~95Mbit there.
AirVPN is often just ~70Mbit.

I've used PIA for a few years now and never had a problem with them. It's about $40 USD a year IIRC.

Im using IPVanish which has been pretty decent with good speeds, they are US based though meaning your metadata is probably freely available / shipped around all over the place without any care for your privacy.. still I prefer send my data for US intelligence agency review rather than my own countries Telco's, ISP's and Government.
Don't believe any of that "We don't log" bullshit, but try pick a VPN based in a country that has some data privacy laws that protect you, Switzerland?

Do it at 'router' level if you can, rather than using the VPN's software. I route 2 of my TV boxes this way with fixed IP's, less hassle, and quicker to boot.

I use NordVPN service now for Downloading Torrents. It is claimed to be the fastest VPN service as of now according to the VPN speed test conducted and also one of the most secure VPN to put to use.
Previous experience with Buffered was not that good, Would highly recommend using NordVPN as Best VPN for Torrenting.

Yea. Fuck that. I recently bought 3 year extra via that cheap deal.
I think it's time to check out TunnelBear or Mullvad.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't TunnelBear had some issues with selling users' data or was it owned by some ad company or such?

PIA all the way. Don't want to mess with a good thing by changing to a shitty other vendor.. Use PIA everyday at work accessing Wi-FI (auto enables on public Wi-Fi's).. Then use it for torrents and sport shows that are blacked out.

Well depending on countries laws:
- never get any cease-and-desist letters from lawyers.
- evade geoblocking (can use US netflix)
- VOIP/encrypted connection
- privacy/anonym surfing ( site xy doesn't need to know who i'am and how often i'am visiting and why should my ISP know my every move surfing)
- can use "illegal" sites without risk
- bypass censorship

I did not say: I don't know why some people go for it.
I'm just glad I don't have to deal with sketchy VPN providers... which lets face it: 90% (some hyperbole) are a false sense of security.
With Nord VPN I wonder: where are they getting all that cash to aggressively market/sponsor. Something is off with that.
