Doesn't like to connect in the first place, often fails to let you know that it didn't connect, and won't stay connected. Best thing about that last part is that it doesn't even let you know if it disconnected. Don't waste your money on the premium version either, as it's just as bad as the free one, AND seems to forget that you've got the paid version, so it constantly harasses you about upgrading. Save your money, get a different no-log VPN.

This app worked great. Until it didn't. Now it won't turn on and I get a perpetual 'Oops, something went wrong. Please try again later'. I'm stuck in UK, and can't even connect there. Addendum: IDK what you did on your last app update, but now it works great for my Android. No more interfere with my truck interface and no more having to Uninstall and re-install to get it to work. Well done!

Great when it works, but it's an extremely inconsistent service. My biggest issue is the lack of feedback when it's having trouble connecting Some form of error message would make that easier to deal with. I've also run into issues where it will tell me I'm connected to a server, yet my IP information remains the same. Paid for a month, but cancelled the subscription not long after signing up.
