Chose NordVPN
It is an inexpensive and simple tool. It offers better speed and minimal ping.
ExpressVPN provides more country options in their VPN otherwise NordVPN is great overall all other expectations. NordVPN is much faster and more secured than ExpressVPN and it's easy to deploy and install.
It is much cheaper, it has double security by connecting to two servers at the same time, it has a simple and very intuitive interface, many payment options that adapt to any user, many servers available and its really efficient support solves problems in very little time with …

Chose NordVPN
NordVPN has a number of partner companies, e.g. Revolut, N26, etc. which all offer NordVPN as a perk. I use it for that very reason. I haven't seen other products have a such a wide network of partners.
I had experienced several reliability issues soon after Pertino VPN-as-a-Service was acquired by Cradlepoint where the service would go down for a supposed update but would be down for long periods. And that was just one of several issues that caused me grief. I started looking …
When starting an SEO project, it helps a lot to do keyword research since you can activate the VPN and have real data that does not manipulate your search history or your location, if you mix the VPN with an incognito section you can have real data without any kind of manipulation, which allows you to create quality and efficient content that really solves the problems of the target users.
SoftEther VPN works easily, and extremely well through Azure, client-to-server, and in Layer 3 bridge mode between offices but it is not so easy to use from mobile devices, although we have had success, albeit with difficulty in the configuration.
It just works—I have never had a single call from a client or end-user complaining that their VPN wasn't working.
It can be configured to be super easy for end-users to use—Nearly transparent to them, in fact.
It is very lightweight on devices and works extremely fast. So fast, in fact, that about the only issue I ever have with SoftEther VPN are related to users sometimes forgetting they are working remotely.
We have has some issues where their default port won't connect through an AT&T wireless AP, but creating an exception for it on the AP or changing the port always gets it working.
I use it every single day. For business use as well personal use. It's very easy and intuitive to use. I can connect to a chosen server with very few clicks.

I had experienced several reliability issues soon after Pertino VPN-as-a-Service was acquired by Cradlepoint where the service would go down for a supposed update but would be down for long periods. And that was just one of several issues that caused me grief. I started looking around for a suitable replacement and came across SoftEther VPN, a project by the University of Tsukuba, Japan, quite by accident. I fell in love with its ease of implementation, low device cost, ease of Admin control, and ease of use for end-users, in addition to its near-zero downtime reliability, and the fact that I have total control over its operation and maintenance.
I went from a Pertino/Cradlepoint VPN-as-a-Service requiring no hardware to a SoftEther VPN Client/Server configuration and that required the purchase of a tiny server to run SEVPN. It could have been a Linux box or Windows and I chose Windows, so there was a minimal cost for the Windows 10 device but it eliminated the monthly service cost and has historically been far more reliable.
We went from about $12/user/month on Cradlepoint perimeter81 to $0/user/month after about a $500 investment in hardware, so just one of my clients has been saving $300/month after the initial $500 for the "Server" device.
