Please see my previous comments, the word "Private" in the term Virtual Private Network does not imply anything about your personal privacy. It's not even why the technology was invented. Unfortunately, I've seen this same mistake made by VPN review sites. That has decreased my respect for those sites & authors as they are propagating a misunderstanding of the technology, and ignoring an entire class of users who are not using these services for privacy.

By your statement it would seem that there will be no good VPN reviews at all.
VPNs were indeed created for privacy. Generally for the privacy of accessing work computers from home or elsewhere.
Everything about them is there for privacy and the model stuck to by OpenVPN, which most good providers use and is free.The type of VPNs commonly used by the public are a man-in-the-middle type provider, so you do not control the end points.
Most log general usage stats for general maintenance, security and performance info, and many do not feel the need to monitor and save your unencrypted and specific browsing data.
Hoxx have taken it upon them selves to watch what site you visit and where you go within it.
This is actually more than the UK Gov require from the ISPs, who only log the site not the pages.Unless the law where they are based has asked them to collect this personal info, they go too far.
It's not about the obsolete encryption or risk of privacy breach, it is the out right nosey behaviour they show compared with others.

I don't know how stating that some reviews make a mistake implies all reviews are bad. As for that second sentence and what follows, you're arguing against a point I didn't make.

Exactly, this is not personal privacy. That was what I said.

ExpressVPN should be your number one pick among these VPNs. It's one of the giants in the VPN market and has a lot of great features and coverage in a lot of countries.

@lucyhales I'm not really familiar with ExpressVPN. The thing I like most about PIA is that its claims about not keeping logs have been court tested, more than once. In multiple cases they've been asked by authorities to provide that data, but we're not able to do so because it simply didn't exist.
It's got the features I need, at a reasonable price, with negligible impact on throughput. I can't really ask for anything more. Should the day come that performance does become an issue, or they do begin collecting logs, then I'll be on the lookout for another court tested service.
I don't currently know of any, but I also haven't looked for one. Perhaps ExpressVPN is one? I assume others may have had the same thing happen, but I can't recommend a service I haven't investigated. Anyone who is serious about their privacy really should do their own research and not take anyone's word, including my own. But we do give places to start their research at least.

In my opinion, ExpressVPN should be your first choice because it easy to configure with Linux and 30 days money back guearntee, if you will not satisfied with its service. Second option is PureVPN which is also compatible with Linux and other platforms. Now it offers 7 days trial for new users, so, this is a good chance to take a test drive and check their services and features.

That's pretty standard. Private Internet Access also offers a 30 day money back guarantee, and currently they are offering 2 months free as so many people are stuck working from home.
I use PIA on Windows, Linux, Android and iOS. They also have one of, if not the largest network, such helps with finding exit points where you want them, getting on the network via a nearby server, and overall speeds.
When it comes to the top few VPN services, you're getting similar experiences. Certainly Linux support and a money-back trial period don't differentiate between them.
