| [Speedify](https://speedify.com/) (Not free · 2gb/mo free-trial) | ![w] ![l] ![a] ![m] || It's the best -- after ExpressVPN removing its servers from India; with a latency of around 40ms(tested 4 times; exhausting its free-user plan) and a speed of 450 Mbps on an average (source: Ookla; where it was around 700+ Mbps earlier) which makes it suitable for gaming and every other purpose; and its early plan is similar to that of ExpressVPN but here comes the twist, Speedify comes with 3-years plan option saving you 4.8k INR in 3 years(as compared to ExpressVPN)! |
| [ExpressVPN](https://www.expressvpn.com/) (Not free) | ![w] ![l] ![a] ![m] || Even though paid, it's fast, stable and the secure option out in the internet but with [Update in Indian laws to store logs for servers in India](https://www.techradar.com/news/any-vpn-with-servers-in-india-must-now-store-activity-logs-on-users), ExpressVPN has removed its servers and the latency has been increased upto 120ms thus making it unsuitable for gaming. |
| [HotspotShield](https://www.hotspotshield.com/) | ![w] ![l] ![a] ![m] || It's paid but the _free version_ is pretty good enough for daily usage. Can stream 4k videos with lag of about half a second ( if you test it by hopping to different timelines ). 2mbps limit on free version - they say - is actually about 15-17 mbps (actual speed; whilist [ookla showed 55mbps on an average](https://www.speedtest.net/result/13836205312) ) mbps when tested at JCB Hall. It's `hydra` protocol connects quickly while `IKEv2 (IPSec)` doesn't work. |
| [OpenVPN](https://openvpn.net/) hosted on [DigitalOcean](https://www.digitalocean.com/) or [AWS ec2](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/) | ![w] ![l] ![a] ![m] || This is slower than ExpressVPN but it's very much feasible for using on PC/Laptop.<br/> It uses more CPU than ExpressVPN and Wireguard |
| [Mullvad](https://mullvad.net/en/) | ![w] ![l] ![a] ![m] || It's paid (5€), But it works very well and securely in OpenVPN mode with TCP port 443 and bridging mode. Note that Mullvad has no servers in India, so gaming is basically impossible since the ping will be too high and Anticheat may prevent you. |
| [SecureVPN](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fast.free.unblock.secure.vpn&hl=en_IN&gl=US) | ![a] || Use its free plan. The free plan will suffice the use case on mobile devices; Select the free server with ads and voila you will be connected and no need to upgrade your time as in NoCardVPN; you will be shown ads only when you open the app, so connect it and never open it again. Speed will be highly reduced but suffice for WhatsApp and normal video streaming. |

| [VPNHub](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appatomic.vpnhub&hl=en_IN&gl=US) | ![a] || Could have worked by changing the settings, but that is for paid users only. |
| [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/) | ![w] ![l] ![a] ![m] || Tor commonly uses ports 9001 and 9030 for network traffic and directory information - [source](https://wiki.wireshark.org/Tor#protocol-dependencies), which are blocked on network. See more about blocked ports under [Packet Filtering](#41-packet-filtering). |
| [NordVpn](https://nordvpn.com/) | ![w] ![a] ![l] ![m] || Uses NordLymx (based on Wireguard) by default, it can work as it also supports OpenVPN. But it's paid |
| [HotspotShield](https://www.hotspotshield.com/) | ![w] ![l] ![a] ![m] || Not yet tested, it's paid |
