FastestVPN is a lesser-known VPN provider albeit with a growing reputation as a quality budget option. Its server network could do with some growth too, though, as this sits at just 800+ servers in 46 countries – a far cry from the networks of the very best VPNs like NordVPN and CyberGhost, which boast thousands of servers. Having said that, FastestVPN is more affordable, with plans starting from $1.66 a month, and a lifetime Black Friday VPN deal.
Although its name is a tad misleading (hint: it’s not the fastest VPN), FastestVPN provides impressive speeds which are more than fast enough for streaming, torrenting and gaming – although it was unable to unblock Netflix in my testing. This is where its strength lies as it won’t blow you away with extra features. While it does have useful specialty servers, it lacks the password manager, antivirus, or cloud storage of some of the biggest VPNs.
