ExpressVPN vs. Hotspot Shield VPN

a colleague using it in china wrote up a detailed report of how he was unable to get out of china with it. he included screenshots and write-ups on his many trials and tribulations of dealing with tech support, trying to get thru the gfw, and he ultimately ended up using another solution altogether which DID work.

It's a great VPN overall. We got it bundled with Dashlane which is great value. We use it to connect to our system and services when outside of our designated office workspace which is secure and encrypted. VPN is easy to use, not complains there. It just works! I would recommend it! At this price point, there is not a better solution.

• A better price point - it's not prohibitively expensive, but I'm not buying it again at that price point without a pressing need.

Engineering team members can work from remote locations which helps companies to reduce their operational costs. It is easy to use so team members don't have to spend any extra time to use this. It helps team members access web pages which are otherwise not available due to location restrictions.

nord was a player, too, but we buy both nord and expressvpn now. we have tried sort of a hodge-podge of all the typical commercial vendors out there. If I Was to compare them all, they'd all be approximately a rating of "meh", 50-50. I'm not a fan of any. We also tried self-hosting vpn's but that requires local tech staff we don't want to have to focus on having.
