Most Overrated vs Underrated VPNs — Community Vote (the cheap winners we actually buy)

1️⃣Surfshark

Voters crowned this the most underrated VPN for real-world value. Fast, cheap, and it covers every device in your house. Great for streaming and travel with solid privacy plus ad blocking.

Address: The Hague, Netherlands

2️⃣NordVPN

Another community favorite that delivers premium speed without the premium bill on long plans. Packed with useful extras like mesh networking and threat protection while staying easy to use. Strong audits back the no logs stance.

Address: Vilnius, Lithuania

3️⃣ExpressVPN

Polished and reliable, but often overrated for the price. You pay more and get fewer connections than value leaders. Best for users who prioritize simplicity over savings.

Address: Road Town, British Virgin Islands

4️⃣TunnelBear

Friendly and transparent, yet overrated once you need streaming or advanced tools. Great for casual browsing, less so for power users or travelers. Cute brand, limited muscle.

Address: Toronto, Canada

5️⃣Hotspot Shield

Tempting free plan, but the upgrade path gets expensive fast. Ads, limits, and inconsistent streaming make it feel overrated next to better value rivals. Good for quick installs, not for heavy daily use.

Address: Redwood City, California, USA
