Ratings and reviews

Great service at a fair price. What's really great about this app is that it offers multi hop capabilities through their secure core based in multiple privacy friendly countries. For some reason, that's a rare, but critical feature for privacy. No other major provider offers that, not even Nord. Breaking through 1 VPN, possible and not hard for some. Breaking through 3 of them? Good luck. Better pack a lunch and be ready for a lot of delivery. Up to 10 devices, run a VM and run the VPN in VM.

Feature incomplete. Many locations just flat out do not work with different websites. You can not easily switch locations within a country. It automatically connects you to the fastest city, which I need to choose so I can easily jump around. I've noticed most sites block one profile but not another, so I have to constantly switch profiles to do basic things. I have to use slower ones because the 'fast gaming' profile is always blocked. Overall disappointed with my purchase

This app has been a lifesaver. If you can afford it, subscribe. When I had the trial period, I experienced very little problems sailing, with occasional choppy seas. After my trial period, I found the seas are choppier than I anticipated and found this app makes them just a little more manageable, even with the free version. Get the free trial and then subscribe. It's worth it.
