All protocols are available for every OS excepting the SSH2 Tunneling, which isn’t available for their mobile customers.

Along with their VPN service they offer to the public a free high anonymity proxy.  This doesn’t really compare to normal VPN service and will likely be overused but might be helpful in certain situation.

TUVPN vs. The Competition

TUVPN offers a good level of service for the price that they charge.  In addition, they offer a few services – like SSH2 Tunneling which are not found in other most other VPN providers.

The biggest downfall we found with these guys is the shortage of North American server which can be popular.

TUVPN Errors

We personally did not run into any errors during our tests other than the typical speed slow down associated with a VPN. Most problems noted on their forum seemed to be centered around configuration issues  and all we looked at had been solved.

TUVPN Conclusion

Thumbs up for TUVPN, they are not our top choice but they are nonetheless represent a  good choice.

We like the fact that they are headquarted in Singapore. Parent company  SDN Systems Pte. Ltd also helps to add credibility to their service offering.

They have left a little room for improvement to their client nonetheless for the beginning user they have done a fine job.

There are a lot of tutorials with plenty of pics and a friendly forum community.
