When choosing a vpn service there are some aspects people look at often to find the best vpn service to meet there needs. Some of the major things people look for are costs, lag, network connectivity, way you connect, server location, and refund policy / free trials.

The price of a vpn service or proxy lists service can vary widely from as low as a couple dollars to 30 dollars. Some of the more expensive services offer more bells and whistles. The more expensive solutions are usually corporate versions with a lot more users and bandwidth. If you pick a proxy thats extremely cheap you might not get the best service and support either. Putting the name of a company into a search engine and adding the words reviews to look for reviews of the vpn service provider.

Lag is how long it takes to for there vpn server to respond after receiving your request over the internet network. Lag is also closely referenced to ping and response time from the vpn proxy server. If the vpn server is located halfway around the world compared to a vpn located a couple hundred miles away the closer proxy will always respond faster.

Network connectivity is another thing to consider when looking for the best vpn service. How much bandwidth that can go through a vpn per second is another way to look at network connectivity. Bandwidth to the vpn service you choose is like water and the more allowed to flow through the hose the faster downloads and uploads go through on a vpn service provider.

How you connect is the next item to look at when choosing vpn services. Some operating systems support different types of vpn protocols and encryption levels. Some require different setups as well and configurations on the client system that make it different or harder to connect especially on a public computer like one at work. Also on a public computer if the vpn connection has to go through a reverse proxy filter one will need to be able to get through that proxy to there vpn service provider and not have it blocked.

Location is also another aspect to look at when considering a vpn to unblock websites. The main reason beyond lag and ping time is if the proxy isn't in your country or close by when you connect to services like facebook they won't believe its you because your logging in from a computer 1000 miles away. And usually a hacker is the one who logs in a 1000 miles away into your facebook account based on the ip address of the proxys vpn server. But also search engines will respond to the vpn location as well be giving you your results in other languages which can get annoying too.

Last but not least one of the biggest things people look for is a refund policy in the vpn service provider they want to try out or a refund policy. This usually is common when someone is using a service they haven't tried before and are totally new to. If they get a referral to a vpn service provider this can make a big world of difference as well because this referral will come from someone the new customer trust. And that trust is key in the new customer relation ship. Customers to new vpn service providers don't want to put out a lot of risk in going through hundred of service providers to find the best one for there conditions. Refunds policy gives them peace of mind if your service sucks or the configurations on there public comptuer don't work they can move along til they find another one. Some vpn service providers just offer a free trial or a 99 cent first month just to get you to try the service.
