itself costs $14.99/month for their plain PPTP service and $19.99/month to upgrade to the professional version which includes L2TP/IPsec.
These two protocols allow you to connect to their service from a wide
range of devices and operating systems—the two standards work with
everything from Ubuntu to Windows and from Android to iOS. VyprVPN is a service brought to you by Goldenfrog. Goldenfrog partners with Giganews, a well-known Usenet provider
which has been around since 1994, and you actually get the VyperVPN
WiTopia's entry level plan starts at $39.99/year (PPTP only) and goes up
to $69.99/year, which includes PPTP and OpenVPN/IPSec VPN support. One
of the things that makes WiTopia stand out from the crowd is that they
have exit servers in an incredible 31 countries. This means that you are
able to select which country or even which city your traffic appears to
be coming from, which helps to get around some of that unseemly
geo-lock content providers have been putting on their media lately. They
include alternative ports as well as an SMTP relay for email should you

of them. Their plans start at $7/month, however this restricts you to

USD) for 3 months. It appears that currently PPTP is the only protocol
supported, but OpenVPN support is in beta testing. It appears that their

The only one of the five contenders with a free option is proXPN. They
have a custom Windows client which manages your network settings for you
and also allows you to switch exit points, reconnect your VPN on
disconnection and have it run on startup. The free account is limited to
1Mbit and only allows a United States exit, the pro account is $5 a
month or $45 per year. If you upgrade to the pro account, there's no
bandwidth limit and you can choose between a United States or
Netherlands exit. PPTP is not available by default but is available upon
request. One of the downsides of proXPN is that their client is
Windows-only; instructions are available from their support if you are
connecting from MacOS X
