Pango
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.

It's very good for QA of applications where geolocation is a variable. Additionally it allows us to access resources only available in certain regions. In terms of market research, it allows us to review ads displayed by competitors in a certain locations.

I loved the NordVPN dedicted IP and p2p and the vast region this tool covers so without doubt this is a greata tool and I would recommand everyone to use it even for personal or proffessional use! This is a must have considering all the security and AI led warfare attacks are going on at the moment!

NordVPN has a number of partner companies, e.g. Revolut, N26, etc. which all offer NordVPN as a perk. I use it for that very reason. I haven't seen other products have a such a wide network of partners.
