Ratings and reviews

This is OK - if it's true what they say about logs, etc. The issues are that there are hardly any servers to connect to (which I could be good with), but it's not good at getting around restrictions, such as some public "guest" networks. Before someone yells "user error", other VPN's do, in my experience.

Used to work without issue and now unfortunately cannot connect at all. Updating certificate when prompted doesn't actually update, just sends into a loading loop with no resolution. Shows key icon in upper notification bar while in loading loop and prevents any connectivity at all. Will wait up to 20 minutes, still no connection. Haven't been able to connect at all for several months now.

Honestly a pretty good VPN for being free + not requiring an account. No data limits at all and the speeds are also decent. Only gripe is that it would be nice if there were more servers but this is a first install for any phone unless you have a paid vpn already. Bittmask should be the exact same experience under a different skin.
