This tech is impressive. The idea is totally awesome I love it. However the implementation is bad. Crypto is not super confusing but this app makes it seem that way. It is also very expensive. I'm surprised people pay for this. I don't have ETH just to get OXT and the required ETH with all fees etc is wayyy too much money. At least for my needs. Perhaps after more time and getting more established will allow them to ease up on the cost I don't know. It's not there yet at all.

We love the idea as well! Thank you for trying Orchid. The network fees on Ethereum have an impact to the cost of our service and our next release is focused on this issue.

Fast, cheap and reliable, but not useful for bypassing country restrictions. Of all the web 3 distributed VPN apps I have tested, this is by far the fastest and most reliable. In fact, it beats most centralized VPNs in speed and reliability. The price is very competitive. If you are just looking for a good VPN for privacy and security, that's it. It has one huge drawback, however: You cannot choose VPN nodes by country. Therefore cannot bypass country restrictions, my main use case.

I want to love this. I don't know if it's Android 11 beta or just the app but it works about 40% of the time. The other 60% it either says it is connected but there is no connectivity or it is slow to the point of pointless. 2 stars because this is definitely a beta if not alpha release. I also don't understand how I have been using this for the last few weeks and yet my account shows the same orchid balance. Great concept though and each update has made it work better. Keep up the work!

Hi, have you tried the latest update? The connection flow and messaging is much smoother in V0.9.19. Your Orchid account balance will go down in bites as you use it over time as there is an element of chance in the payment system. Please contact us at contact@orchid.com if you have any issues with our latest version.
