I used a vpn service for a while but found it to be slow (really slow)
 
I am open to try a new VPN service but honestly, Im not willing to pay for one any longer.

Wooohah
Anyone here use a VPN?
Not for doing hoodrat stuff on the Internet or causing trouble, just for security and privacy.
I'm currently looking at Express VPN and NordVPN.
I'd like one that will affect my speeds the least, my internet is about 115 Mbps.
Cost is realistically not an issue, most VPN services are under $10 a month by a yearly plan.

If anyone's got suggestions, I'd appreciate it!

You can always find a provider of which supports OpenVPN standards and you will be alright. I use a personal VPN for my client sites. I see a bit of delay on lookups but nothing really of note. Since I run my own VPN at my offices I don't have much of a suggestion other than the client standard mentioned earlier. You can go with a more private solution which may suit your needs. The NordVPN is a decent solution but you'll need to provide your own ad blocking otherwise you'll leave traces and compromise yourself with the metadata collections unless you utilize addons for your browsers to remove those traces and/or prevent them from being attached to your systems. Private Internet Access VPN overall has a decent rating for this but there isn't a free/test client to choose from and it does support Linux and chrome where NordVPN does not. KeepSolid VPN Unlimited is also a decent offering and supports quite a few options. Again, no free client though. Good luck on your evaluations and search though.

I bought a lifetime VPN Secure subscription for super cheap and though only a handful of their 50+ servers are super fast, most of them aren't too bad speed-wise. Their support has been great and usually gotten back to me within 10 minutes whenever I had an issue.
