Recommendation for a Good VPN Service Provider?

As the title states, could anyone provide some feedback regarding a solid VPN service provider?

I am reading up on some, but I think review sites may be biased as they get paid by the vpn provider for a review.

Thanks

I've had good luck with PIA - Private Internet Access. Good speed and reliable. Reasonably priced as well. I arbitrarily chose them after reading reviews as well. I've been using them for about 2 years.

Seconded for all the same reasons. Also, they DO NOT log no matter what point of access you choose. They have a great connection lost kill switch which kills your Internet access on the computer should the VPN become disconnected.

I've had good experiences with PIA in the States and Europe.

Doesn't work well enough in China for me though. I'm testing out ExpressVPN and it seems pretty good in China. Haven't tested in Europe or here in the US yet though...

Will uTorrent work with PIA?

Also I am running Kaspersky Antivirus, will it conflict with PIA?

Yes to your first question and maybe to your second. If your Kapersky suite also includes a firewall, it could. You just need to create and exception for the VPN.

I haven't had experience with a "crappy" torrent in a VERY long time. Then again...if you know how to pick torrents, you tend to have little issue with them.

Australian here, been using PIA for about 2 years and have no plan on changing. I'd recommend.

Yes, uTorrent works. No, no issues with Antivirus.
