Once was the best; Now lacks
This VPN used to be one of the best VPNs out there. Then things changed: they started removing affiliates for no reason, took ages to release updates, and reintroduced old bugs that had previously been fixed. Don’t get me wrong — this VPN still performs, but it’s a shadow of what it used to be. Features? It definitely has most of what users want. It boasts a kill switch, protocol selection (OpenVPN, WireGuard, etc.), split-tunneling (on Android), and app scripts — basically a way to automate actions like launching or closing apps, or even opening websites. It also offers DNS/IPv6/WebRTC leak protections, stealth proxy and obfuscation, dedicated IPs, and a fairly wide range of app availability/support. If you need a feature, it likely has it. Device support is also solid — as hinted at above. The supported platforms are broad and include: - Windows (7, 8, 10, 11) - macOS (Intel-based and Apple Silicon) - Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, and more) - Android - iOS/iPadOS - Chrome and Firefox extensions - Routers (DD-WRT, Tomato, pfSense, OpenWRT, AsusWRT, GL.iNet, and MikroTik — manual configs only, last I used) And it doesn’t stop there. There’s also TV support, including: - Smart TVs (via VPN routers and Smart DNS) - FireTV/Firestick - Apple TV - Roku Plus gaming consoles (including the Nintendo Switch) — all usable through a VPN router or Smart DNS. You can even run it on virtual machines (like VMware or VirtualBox), Docker containers (Linux-based), and NAS devices like Synology, QNAP, using OpenVPN/WireGuard config. Now... why does it have 2.5 out of 5 stars, and not 4 or even 5 stars, as this review may initially suggest? Well, as mentioned earlier, they’ve been removing VPN reviewers’ affiliate links for no reason, reintroducing old bugs, and taking forever to release updates. I think I aged from 25 to 60 just waiting for their GUI update — which wasn’t even that major in the end. These issues combined are what led to such a hit on their overall rating. That said, if you want to look past these flaws, you absolutely can — and purchase this VPN based on the feedback above. Just know that it’s quite pricey if you’re not using affiliate links — and even those, which once were lifetime, now come with the caveat that they might be removed at any time, without warning or reason.
