Pros

“Connection speeds are solid enough that I do not notice much of a slowdown even when I am running multiple tabs or tools at once.”

Daniel S.

Manager

“What I use it for is mostly side project work and keeping things a little more private when I am handling dealership business on the go, it has done the job well.”

Daniel S.

Manager

“I would just go in knowing you are paying a bit of a premium for that simplicity.”

Daniel S.

Manager

Pros

“I created this as a Virtual Machine at my Organization and used it for years to be able to remote in from my computer and phone.”

Glen N.

IT Director

“Automatically keeps you logged in so you dont have to log in each time you need to use systems”

Kristen V.

Project Manager

“There are just rare instances that when updates are available, it stops working but once the update is completed, everything will be back to normal.”

Joseph M.

Customer Concierge

Cons

“There have also been a few times where a specific server location was slower than expected, so you sometimes have to bounce between a couple servers before finding one that runs smooth.”

Daniel S.

Manager

“While there isn't a free version or trial available, this VPN is slightly pricier compared to others.”

Aleksandra P.

Data and research lead

“The price is honestly the biggest downside.”

Daniel S.

Manager

Cons

“I've only stopped using it because my new Router has a built-in VPN connection App”

Glen N.

IT Director

“I have " mid-tier " internet at my home, so when utilizing a VPN that already " slows " your speeds, combining it with average internet is definitly a snail race.. But better safe than sorry!”

Bryce J.

Material and Logistics Coordinator

“Has speed limitations (due to protocol being used) so it cannot be used for high bandwidth scenarios.”

Abhijeet J.
