I knew about it, but I thought it was just some tiny VPN that no one used.
And then I saw this on their website:
Now, I’m always skeptical about these numbers. VPNs often count downloads as users—which is pretty inaccurate considering how often people re-install or use multiple devices.
And sometimes, I’ll even have used it before.
But TigerVPN?
Man, I barely knew this existed till recently.
But you might know that I love underdogs, and as the VPN market is competitive and full of good options—I was real excited to learn more about TigerVPN.

I’ve always been a little put off by the name: what’s the “tor” in TorGuard for?
Because people often confuse VPNs and TOR, I figured it was a sneaky attempt at dragging in less aware customers.
It turns out that the “Tor” does mean something else—but more on that later.
As a matter of fact, I had heard about IPVanish before I really even cared about VPNs—so at least to me, it’s one of the big names.
But is it recognized for its quality? Or is it just recognized?
While Hidemyass has certain good points, it has a couple of issues as well. A point you just can’t avoid while using Hidemyass.
Hidemyass claims not to store logs. However, their logging policy reveals that they do track certain user information. When it comes to torrenting or Netflix streaming, Hidemyass is not a very suitable VPN option.
Now that’s not all. Hidemyass provides certain installable files which look suspicious. These are some things that make Hidemyass users look in for alternatives.
It’s a known fact that VPNs keep you safe. VPNs are available across multiple platforms, few of these include Mac.
There are several reasons you might have chosen a Mac device. Mac provides a unique user interface, good look and feel, hardware and so on. Multiple reasons, why users find it appealing.
However, what about its security? While you have antivirus and other security software, a VPN can provide ultimate security.
A point to note here is that not all VPN solutions offer support for Mac. So, in case you are a Mac user, you need to choose the solution after making a thorough review.
If you haven’t heard of it before, that makes sense. If you have, that makes sense, too:
This is because Windscribe is one of the more popular VPNs, but it also isn’t THAT well-known.
I mean, it’s been downloaded over a MILLION times on the Google Play store, and its Chrome extension has nearly a MILLION users—to say nothing of the times it’s been downloaded on Apple products, or PCs or even Linux desktops.
To say Hotspot Shield is popular, or well-known, is an…understatement, to say the least.
Their website says this:
Which is INSANE.
I’ll admit to being a little skeptical. That number sounds a little too high—does it include multiple installs by the same account, accounts made by the same people, etc?
(I’ve actually got some comments on that number, but you’ll have to keep reading!)
But there’s one VPN that is popular—as in it’s on the bigger side—but isn’t AS popular as some of the biggest names.
This VPN is one I was skeptical of at first, because of my own biases. But after testing it, I’ve discovered this is one of the BEST VPNs around.

This makes sense. TunnelBear is a popular VPN with a reputation for being easy and high-performing.
