It's no better than fine, some of the time. Most of the time the connection effectively stops your internet, you then have to turn it off, you then forget your Killswitch, etc etc etc. When it works, it's okay on Android and Windows but I have too many issues, too often. A good VPN should sit there in the background, allowing you to get on with your day normally.

I have to change my review from positive to negative. At first, it worked very well, but the Windows Desktop version has had a recent update, which seems to have broken nearly every feature, server, protocol, etc. I can't even connect on a couple protocols and the ones I can, streaming services detect it right away! I've spoken with customer services 2-3x, without any solutions. I've tried everything in their guides and tried every combination of settings, but can't get it working correctly.

Works perfectly. Obviously theres a reduction in download speed but that is to be expected with traffic being routed. I took some time to find out which server works best for me. Auto connect feature is great. I've always found the tech people to be really helpful and reply quickly. Also the fact that you have unlimited number of devices you can use this on is a bonus. It's on my phone, tablets and laptop. Also, the country they're in (Virgin Islands) no logs are kept. Great price too.
