It shows quite a few companies.

Also, Lifehacker has an article on it with some recommendations: https://lifehacker.com/5935863/five-best-vpn-service-providers

A good recommendation is always great but I like to do some background research as well hence the links :)

I have never heard of some of these providers... hidemyass is not to be trusted on any level they give away your details at any insistence.. a more objective review https://torrentfreak.com/anonymous-vpn-service-provider-review-2015-150228/  the lifehacker URL has  credible reviews

Take hide.me, if they got any server near you. There simply is no better VPN-provider atm., read the other thread to know why. Or inform yourself on https://www.hide.me :) .

most of them all seem so shady

i would urge much caution because there are too many shady operators.

for my small usage of VPN (due to my location) I have chosen a small but good operator, the cost is not too much. it is not designed for torrents and they do not allow same, everything else is unrestricted.

pvt message me if you want further information
