Hey guys,

I'm moving to Saudi Arabia to work.

I need to surf the internet for personal use at home every night using my laptop. I don't have other connected devices.

Areas most important to me: Extensive tabbed browsing, youtube videos and聽 skype-skype with webcam. Also downloading (torrent).

My question is should I purchase a VPN service such as:

CyberGhost, AirVPN, PureVpn, ExpressVPN, StrongVPN, Spotflux, HidemyAss

Or go with the free Chrome extensions:

DotVPN, FreeMyBrowser, HotspotShield, GomVPN, UltraSurf, Zenmate, etc..

Another question I had is If I choose the route of buying a VPN service over the free extensions, which company provides the best connection in Saudi Arabia? Cheers.

For VPN: I use privateinternetacceas reasonable and quick for me
Internet depends on your location, if you have fibre optics you can choose whichever provider ( STC or Mobily) will be the same.

I use PureVPN - purevpn.com/. Had it up for 2 times a day or more and never lost connection. They also have setup guide for all OS. Highly recommended VPN

I would not suggest to use free VPN in Saudi Arabia, it will easily be traced and you will be blocked to access any website. Paid VPN is good option ExpressVPN is best but bit expensive if you can pay for expressvpn then I would recommend it otherwise you can check out details of IPVanish and Purevpn that have good protocols and support bestvpnprovider.com/torrent-vpn/.
