Privacy & Anonymity
The privacy policy is advertised as no logging but, as stated on the website, it doesn’t seem that actually may be the case. Here is the relevant passage:
Logging Policy
“It is VPNSecure Pty Ltd’s policy to respect the privacy of its members. VPNSecure Pty Ltd will not monitor you or your use of the Service, including its contents, without your prior permission unless VPNSecure Pty Ltd has reason to believe that such action is necessary to: (1) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of VPNSecure Pty Ltd (3) enforce the Agreement; or (4) to protect the interests of its other Members.”
Torrent Policy
VPN.S allows torrents, though some of their servers may block you from using them from time to time. The company says it’s okay to connect to a different server for the same purpose in those instances.
Customer Support
VPN.S has plenty of support options. There is a knowledge base at the site you can use, a ticketing system and live chat.
Product Testing
VPN.S has a very well designed client. It’s very compact and puts just about anything you’d need right at your fingertips. It also has a kill switch built into it.
VPN.S offers software for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android.
VPN Server Locations
VPNSecure Provides Secure VPN servers in over 45+ Countries. Their private VPN access servers are monitored. They’re access controlled, and they are the only ones that operate them. They do not permanently store IP addresses, nor do they store logs. Each server supports all popular protocols, including: OpenVPN, SSH SOCKS, HTTP Proxy & Smart DNS. With the very best server locations and low ping times you will always find a fast server close to you.
Countries Supported:
Speed Test
VPN.S tested very well where speed was concerned. Hooking up to their VPN server only dropped our connection to approximately 20Mbps from a baseline of 25Mbps without the VPN connected.
IPCheck and DNSLeak Test
Our IP address was effectively changed while connected to the VPN.S server. The DNS did not leak, either. There’s a DNS leak fix feature built into the client, which is a nice touch.
Feature Summary
- Broad range of services
- Allows torrents
- Corporate VPN
- White Label VPN
- Router compatibility
- Great support options
We Liked
The client is put together well and shouldn’t be hard for novices to pick up. That being said, it’s also flexible and gives you plenty of options.
Areas for Improvement
The privacy policy, as reproduced above, seems a bit counterintuitive, given that the company advertises no logging at all.
Conclusion
VPN.S has an easy to use service that offers competitive prices. Allowing users to sign up for less expensive packages than a full-fledged VPN is also a convenient offering from this company.
