TorGuard • 7/13/2025

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.

This VPN is a great VPN in and of itself; however, there are many things that riddle it with problems. This VPN is one that will not be for most, and there are many reasons for that. One of many reasons is the application looks like it was made on MS-DOS and then remastered on Windows 98. Many of the settings, most VPN users are not really going to understand, and furthermore, most of the settings users are not even going to care about or even want in the application to begin with. It has most features you need, but at the expense of complexity and bugs. For an application that looks like it came out with the first ever Super Computer, you would be surprised that there are even bugs in it at all. For the most part, it does what it is supposed to do, but it needs a huge facelift to compete with anything of the likes of Proton, Nord, or hell............ even Express. One of the major bugs/issues this VPN has is with its Killswitch; there are many times you will have it on in settings, but it fails to arm on connect, and you must turn it off just to connect—and this is a huge downside, especially with a VPN that boasts privacy and anonymity and "for hackers" as some weirdos might say. But hey... if you are okay with a solid 1/10 for looks and a solid 8-9/10 for features and can look past its flaws... at least you come up with a solid 3-4/10 product. The other major downside is the lack of device support—this VPN does not support platforms like Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku streaming sticks, gaming consoles (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch), smart TVs (except via router setup), and other niche devices. This is a huge, huge issue for many users, and one of the main reasons so many people switch to VPNs like NordVPN, ProtonVPN, etc., since those services support a wide variety of devices and offer much more diverse compatibility.

PureVPN • 7/1/2025

Such a shit VPN... willing to give up all your data and hardly works. They also bought out Ivacy which is another garbage VPN. This VPN is known for giving out logs to the authorities and does not have your privacy in mind when operating PureVPN and this also now includes Ivacy as they recently bought them out and transferred all Ivacy accounts to PureVPN. Only thing pure about this VPN is their ability to hand out logs they supposedly do not have.

AzireVPN • 7/1/2025

AzireVPN is a privacy-focused VPN provider with a minimalistic Windows application that’s best suited for users who value simplicity over features. Its app stands out for its featureless approach and deep commitment to a blank application. It features a modern interface, which is actually quite nice, but with basic navigation. Server selection is straightforward, and connection times using the WireGuard protocol are quite fast — often within a second or two. The VPN offers protocol selection along with a kill switch and auto start on boot; however, beyond that, there is not a whole lot to be offered. The speeds are great for me; however, this might be due to a lack of users, 10Gbps servers, all servers being fully owned, and or a load of other reasons: I have, on the other hand, heard of slow speeds for users as well though, so this is something that is a case-by-case basis.
