I recently subscribed to Happy VPN. I loved how easy it is to set it up. You just run the installer and it creates the VPN connection for you automatically. But it was slow. When I did online bandwidth test speeds, I would get 1 mbps download whereas my connection is 8mbps down
I contacted Customer Service and they were very fast to respond and told me that there is nothing they can do about it and issue me a refund.
I remember that once, a friend of mine who lives near by, also had a VPN subscription that was very fast.
Can someone recommend a good VPN to subscribe to please?
Our ISP here blocks everything and because of their proxy server, loading webpages is slower.
Please help
Thanks

I prefer SSH to vnc. Much easier and free. As for remote gui's are concerned they will always be slow. I have a fast connection at work and home and being < 1 mile from each other the fps is still single digit.

Unless I'm missing something it's not about VNC (which is not very secure BTW) but VPN.
So OP doesn't want to access his own computer from work etc. but to access internet without traffic shaping and proxy issues "provided" by his ISP. -
I don't want to access my computer from work. I don't know why did the previous poster think that.
I said I want a VPN to bypass my ISP's proxy which slows down browsing big time and have 25% of the web blocked
Can someone please help me with a similar solution to the one I tried as mentioned in my original post but that has been tested to be fast?

Generally it's the uplink speed that slows things down.

Contact your ISP to see if you're being throttled for some reason unrelated to the proxy issue.
Also, does your bandwidth change over time? Usually (at least in the US) the bandwidth sold is "up to" a certain number. I'd also confirm that both the connection and the measured speed are in the same units (megabit/sec vs megabyte/sec)
Lastly, if you're using Happy VPN to evade geographical or governmental restrictions on content, you're straying into a dangerous zone of discussion. I'd suggest asking your friend what ISP and setup he uses, and mimic that as best you can through the same ISP/VPN/etc. -
But not that I see Im way off Ill leave as I am no help with VPNs.
