Apparently this is one important factor in choosing VPN and is preferable over AES-128 or something like that. Anyone here who may vouch for this or can give like a brief review? thanks!

i dont care what AES they are using, presumably every providers by now should use the latest tech in order to gain more customers... but for $5.83/month, ouch thats going to be like $120 for 2 years plan... thats going to hurt my pocket thats all i care. so iirc i googled for "recommended VPN provider" few weeks ago, exactly the same reason as this thread OP. i think the problem rised when i changed my internet provider. so i settled with SurfSharkVPN.. not in the top list, but its the money i'm willing to spend on it. it turned out they are using AES-256 as well https://surfshark.com/learn/vpn-encryption, who cares if they even still use AES-128? since they are about $50 (a bit less) for 2 years plan. so why pay triple for the same level of security? i dont even use it everyday, only when i got problem accessing some sites like this eevblog. and it seems they have like 10 (or maybe more?) "gateways"? scattered across the globe and... have a "unofficial"? app to work in WinXP yay! thats whats matters! ;D
edit: sorry thats a real defamation over there if its only 10 servers (thats what i saw in my app here) but they actually have 1700+ servers... https://surfshark.com/servers ymmv.
err.. vs... https://strongvpn.com/locations/
