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.

When looking up the networks I can plug into there was only about 29 countries available whereas other VPN's I've used had quite a few more countries availble to use. This was bit of a bummer but not too cumbersome. Next in the area of not recording my browser history I believe that this is were the software excels.
