VyprVPN
PROS Strong
commitment to
customer privacy.
Latest VPN
technology. Good
geographic
distribution of VPN
servers. Snazzy new
client. Affordable
annual subscription.
CONS Expensive
monthly option. Few
additional privacy

pre-WireGuard.
BOTTOM LINE Golden
Frog VyprVPN offers
the latest VPN
technology in a simple
and approachable
package, along with
excellent global

expensive, however,
unless you commit to
