iWasel VPN service gives you the advantage of browsing the internet anonymously and totally secured. The connection between your computer and our servers is encrypted, and highly secured, hackers and data sniffers will not have any chances of reaching your device due to your encrypted connection and new Ip address you get when you are connected to our service. However, iWasel is a relatively unknown VPN provider. The company seems most interested in the Arabic market for VPN services, which is substantial.

Areas for Improvement
iWasel has a lot of aspects they can improve on. When compared to other top VPN providers, iWasel has a limited number of servers across a small number of countries. They could do even better by having more servers in a lot more countries.
The iWasel can also use some updating since it seems to have not been updated for quite some time now. They could provide more detailed information on their service, features and no-logging policy.
Conclusion
iWasel is relatively unknown compared to many of the bigger names on the market. They do, however, have a client that is easy to use and they offer versatile options for payment, which should appeal to some users. They seem very heavily concentrated on getting the market from Arabic speaking countries.
iWasel does offer some nice features. The unlimited bandwidth on their plans is competitive with a lot of other providers out there. The client is also easy enough to use that most people should have no real difficulty setting up their VPN service. However their pricing is a little bit higher than some other providers.
The OpenVPN protocol provides excellent privacy enhancement and cannot be blocked by filtering out traffic over certain ports, making it useful for nations with national firewalls. The PPTP option is not adequate for people who have serious reasons to protect their privacy against spying eyes.
