Highlights
Pros
- Provides industry-standard 256-bit AES encryption, a kill switch, DNS and IPv6 leak protection, and traffic obfuscation.
- Supports up to 6 simultaneous device connections across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, Apple TV, and routers.
- Consistently works in China and other restricted territories using specialized obfuscation protocols, with proven reliability since 2009.
- Offers unlimited bandwidth on most servers with no restrictions on how many times you can switch between server locations.
- Delivers excellent download speeds on local servers with as little as a 5% slowdown using the proprietary WEB protocol.
Cons
- Small server network of roughly 80 servers across 39 countries, with no coverage in South America, Africa, or the Middle East.
- Desktop apps have an outdated interface with confusing settings and no quick-connect feature to find the fastest server.
- Fails to unblock major streaming platforms including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, and Disney+ in testing.
- No native apps for iOS or Android — requires time-consuming manual setup using third-party clients like WireGuard or v2Ray.
- Privacy policy has not undergone an independent audit and the company is headquartered in the Netherlands, a 9/14 Eyes Alliance member.
- Kill switch only activates when using OpenVPN protocol — not available on the faster proprietary WEB or XTLS connections.
