Most Overrated vs Underrated VPN Services — Community Vote

1️⃣Mullvad VPN

Voters called Mullvad the most underrated privacy buy: flat pricing, anonymous accounts, and blistering WireGuard speeds without gimmicks. It quietly nails the essentials and skips hype so your money goes to performance.

Address: Gothenburg, Sweden

2️⃣Surfshark

Surfshark keeps winning quiet fans with unlimited devices and sharp pricing that undercuts the big names. It streams reliably, adds useful extras like CleanWeb, and still feels fast across continents.

Address: Amsterdam, Netherlands

3️⃣ExpressVPN

ExpressVPN is the polished crowd-pleaser, but the premium price now bites. Often seen as overrated on value, it performs well and unblocks tons, yet power users may outgrow the limited settings and device cap.

Address: Road Town, British Virgin Islands

4️⃣NordVPN

NordVPN packs features, bundles, and big marketing, which can overshadow real-world quirks. Frequently rated overrated for renewals, speeds can vary by server, apps feel heavy on older devices, and the best rates hide behind long contracts.

Address: Panama City, Panama

5️⃣Hotspot Shield

Hotspot Shield rides name recognition and a free tier that's fine for quick checks, not daily privacy. Overrated for serious streaming, ads, limited locations, and uneven results make premium rivals a better spend for serious use.
