Free Trial/ Money-back Guarantee
While VPN Privacy has a “Free Trial” option on their list of plans, it is not really for free. Instead, it is a one-week VPN account that costs $3.50.
Privacy & Anonymity
According to the terms of service at VPN Privacy, the company keeps log files for five days. They’re deleted after that time. Logs are not used to monitor or censor people’s Internet activities, according to the terms of service, but they are used to identify security breaches, to troubleshoot software and to ensure that the servers are performing up to standards.
Torrent Policy
Within the company’s terms of service you will find the phrase “We are not interested in what you do on the Internet.” There appear to be no restrictions on torrent usage.
Customer Support
For general questions, finance or technical support you can email them at info@vpnprivacy.com or through skype (ID: vpn.privacy). You can also explore their blog which covers a lot of information on vpn, reviews on other services and other tips and tricks when using VPN services.
Product Testing
VPN Privacy supports the PPTP, SSTP and OpenVPN protocols. Each of the servers is connected to a 100mbit channel. VPN Privacy has an unlimited bandwidth policy, which is nice, but they also only have servers located in four nations. If your principal goal was to defeat geo-restrictions, you may be better off with a provider that offers servers in more nations. Aside from that, the fact that they offer the SSTP protocol is a nice touch and the pricing is competitive.
VPN Server Locations
VPN Privacy has servers located in four nations: USA, Asia, Canada and Europe. The number of available IP addresses is not specified on the site.
