It’s very easy to turn advanced privacy features off and on, or to switch between protocols, and the privacy policy is written in easy-to-understand language.Īndroid and iOS mobile users will find very similar, stripped-down apps easy to use but without advanced features or much information available. We love the tabs for settings that include helpful tips explaining less-obvious features.

Each covered city has between 4 and 8 servers, and each server has between 4 and 8 shared IP addresses. In the US, there are servers in several cities, but user choice is limited to east coast or west coast. Most of the more populated areas are covered, though, and new servers are being added regularly, with India and Norway recently joining the network.

Incorporated in Malaysia, it’s not subject to US or EU regulations. Privacy policies and protocols are where really shines. The somewhat limited server locations may also displease some users looking to unblock content in more obscure countries. Netflix blocks, however, which is a major detractor for streamers.
works well for gaming, torrenting, BBC iPlayer, Google/Gmail, Kodi, HBO, Facebook, and Twitter. Connection speed was great on all of the server networks. US servers were fast enough for HD video streaming, but still disappointing overall. Most of the speeds outside the UK were simply adequate, but not outstanding. Users in other parts of the globe see nothing like those speed records, however.

In order to earn our five stars, would you mind helping us resolve this problem for you by contacting our technical support from the VPN client (Settings\Support)? This will send us the client's log file to for further inspection and help our technicians pinpointing the culprit for this glitch on your system.If we were just looking at UK service, would definitely get a perfect 10. Together with using features like Kill Switch, Limit connection to VPN or Stealth Guard will further shield you from DNS-leaks and IP-leaks. Our VPN client has an separate option ("Use custom DNS") to change system's DNS servers, otherwise by default it will put our custom DNS servers on VPN adapter itself (since all traffic is going strictly through that adapter). We've tried reaching out to you via this platform, but haven't received your feedback. We are interested in this DNS problem and would like to know more about it. Thanks in advance for your time! Hi Arthur Gu and thank you for reaching out to us.

UPDATE (after 2 weeks): You still haven't provided any details about your supposed problem, on any of our channels.
