Our take

The standout for households: one subscription covers unlimited devices, plus RAM-only servers and a Cure53 audit behind it. That value angle is the real reason to pick it over rivals that cap connections. As a closed-source commercial VPN it asks you to trust its audits rather than inspect the code, which is the standard caveat for this tier. A strong choice when you’re covering a whole family or a pile of gadgets on one plan.
