Three questions about VPNs:

1) Which one is the most secure, stable

2) Which one is the easiest to use?

3) Which one is the most cost effective?

@99reasons4truth

1- I use NordVPN no issues so far.
2- Pretty straight forward i learned it myself.
3- they have monthly, yearly or two years plans

@AkomoCombine @99reasons4truth

Which is better between NordVPN and ProtonVPN?

@TwistedWhim i heard good things about Proton VPN also- havent used it yet though @99reasons4truth

@AkomoCombine @99reasons4truth

I use Proton but most people I see recommend NordVPN. I am just curious if I am missing something significant.

@TwistedWhim i doubt it. Depends on your needs- Nord does have built in malware scanner and data storage. Also meshnet where you can link your devices and share files across them. @99reasons4truth

@AkomoCombine @99reasons4truth
I am not sure Proton has a meshnet. They do have malware detection and a separate storage app.

@TwistedWhim @AkomoCombine @99reasons4truth

Imo you don't need all they whistles and bells features - all they do is uae up resources and can have a big impact of devices especially the mid/low range devices

They add they features and say it helps with security and stops malware etc.... Blah blah its basically nonsense and a sales tactic

A VPN should just be a vpn and stay in its lane 😆

@ecksmc yep agreed-
i use the VPN and malware detector. I dont use its meshnet. 🤣

@TwistedWhim @99reasons4truth

@AkomoCombine lot of people think malware detection = their devices are being scanned for virus like a virus scanner app/software does

Thats not the case malware detection, or blocker, is just a layer of protection against malware it doesn't scan your device for malware

Misleading people in other words

@TwistedWhim @99reasons4truth

@ecksmc oh i use Malwarebytes for protection- Nord malware scanner is just on when i login to VPN. @TwistedWhim @99reasons4truth

@AkomoCombine yeah malwarebytes is a good app to use

Personally, again just my opinion, I dont have a virus scanner, or anything like that, you don't really need one constantly running on android just slows devices down imo as long as you're careful with what you instal and watch where you go online, files you download, etc...your gonna be safe

That said I do check devices haven't been infected from time 2 time just don't have a piece of software running 24/7
