Ratings and reviews

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.

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.

Seems trustworthy, a few times I had some problems and needed to turn off some additional features, or uninstall smd reinstall... there was a security certificate that was expiring sometimes that a reinstall seemed to fix as well. I mostly used it as a general VPN rather than for potentially important activist activities that might sometimes need more security. It seems like a great option for low income people who may have a need.
