    Hello Everyone..

    I believe a lot of users here must be familiar with VPN thingy..Some of you must be using it as well. Now what I want to ask you guys is
    "What key features, attributes do you seek in a VPN provider when your purchasing it??" For example some of the key features which users look for are online security, online privacy, anonymity, bypassing firewalls etc.

    1. Is there anything else you want VPN provider to offer?
    2. If the feature you seek is already listed above then which feature is most important for you?

    P.S:
    No, I do not want VPN providers names. I honestly do not want you to give me links to your favorite VPN service provider. I just want a simple answer..

    Thanks [​IMG]

    I'd definitely only go with a provider that has been around for a while

    same here. I prefer to do it on my own as I will have full controll and nobody else will be able to mess with my data :D Of cousr you will have to know how to run a VPN smoothly with basicly no downtime.

    I personally believe setting it up yourself is a complex process..I am no expert on VPN and related stuff. Hence I would prefer a provider doing it for me..That is why I asked for the features..But after reading your response, Ive inferred that you guys want the VPN service to be trustworthy..So this is a feature in itself.What do you think?

    it definetly is as you will have plenty of important data on your VPN (alteast if you are not only using it to run a paypal acocunt from somewhere they don't allow you to have one). So you not only need a high uptime but you also need to be sure nobody will access your data when he is not allowed to.

    The price and reputation is most important to me to be honest.
