Netflix access: When it came to the COVID-19 pandemic, we found ourselves streaming more than ever before, so much so that we basically ran out of content on the U.S Netflix server.Split tunneling: When we wanted to connect to public and private networks at the same time, lowering bandwidth and raising our browsing speeds, we simply used split tunneling with both VPNs.Torrenting: We torrented to our hearts’ content with either VPN, although ExpressVPN had us download uTorrent 2 beforehand.Kill switch: Each VPN’s kill switch closed our web browsers if they got disconnected, keeping our activity safe and sound from any prying eyes, be it that of hackers or our Internet Service Provider.That being said, both VPNs are trustworthy when it comes to their logging or lack thereof.įYI: If a country isn’t a member of the Five Eyes alliance, it means that companies based in that country will never be forced to give the government customer data. ExpressVPN kept a few more things like the version of the app we used, when we connected in terms of days, and other information about our usage that we didn’t appreciate, necessarily. However, Surfshark was particularly strict, only keeping our password, encrypted, anonymous app diagnostics, our email addresses and our payment information. Privacy policy: Both ExpressVPN and Surfshark are really solid when it comes to their data logging policies, not keeping any information about our web activity, IP addresses, usage sessions, bandwidth, etc.With ExpressVPN, on the other hand, we were capped at five devices at a time, which, while that was usually enough for us, won’t be enough for everyone.
