simply the best vpn ive used. fast reliable connection rarely drops. secure and totally anon
I did a bunch of research and found that AirVPN was the best overall provider. I’m from Canada and couldn’t find any information on whether they had a Canadian server, but I figured there would be ample US servers to connect to. To my surprise after setting everything up, which took less than 10 minutes from going to the site to connecting to their service, I found they did indeed have a Canadian server which is right in my area. The first thing I did was go to speedtest and to my surprise, the average speeds were literally no different. This frequency on my router is limited to 3Mbps as it’s shared amongst many people in a large student house, so note that their service is limited to 4Mbps. Either way, this is more than adequate for browsing, watching youtube ect.
The best part is, AirVPN is completely anon. They don’t keep any logs. You can even register with a fake name and alternate email if you’d like. The main site I was considering was HMA, but after hearing they keep logs of everything for 30days I decided it wasn’t the best route. Despite the site looking relatively basic, don’t hesitate to go with these guys. Their service is definitely what I was looking for.
After reading many articles, gathering information and the very helpful editorial
on torrentfreak dot com, I came to the decision that Air VPN has the best service,
reliability and secure for a good price. And after a test period, I’ll even say, there
are more expensive vpns out there, that are less reliable.
It’s good to have a reliable method to counter censorship and the prosecution of
free democratic thoughts.
Very good vpn. fast and reliable. no logs!
Back again after the initial three months test period. Upgraded for full year.
In three months had on average one disconnect per month, however, two I suspect were the ISPs fault, only one due to VPN, when after trying to reconnect there seemed no servers available for about an hour, so that was probably due to some software update gone awry or so; this is why I rated one star less than 100% in that category.
Still needed no support, but rated one star less than full rating since AirVPN did not send reminder for lapse of 3-month booking period. However, others might rate this reticence as a positive seeing that unwarranted promotion emails are flooding the internet.
One thing seems odd: the session time shown in the little app window seems not to be corrected for time zones. Example: if your time zone is “plus two hours” as against theirs then in minute ZERO after connecting it will show you were connected for TWO hours, if the difference is one hour, it would show one hour at minute zero. In other words, after a NET of THREE hours your session statistics would erroneously show you were connected FIVE (or FOUR hours respectively).
Other than that, which does not affect service quality, the service is highly satisfactory which is why we extended for one year.
So far this has delivered exactly as promised. Very happy with this product after extensive research into VPN’s.
AirVPN has been fantastic for me. Very few disconnects, high speeds, and a selection of servers. I’m more and more impressed as the months go by.
Geat service!!!!for all aspect.
Is it safe to select US servers for torrenting on this service?
Yes it should be fine as far as we know. According to Air, their US servers have the same level of protection as all other servers. No logs of activity, no logs of your source ip, etc. Also, all traffic routed through their servers are pooled with other users and the IP address is shared. So really, Air wouldn’t even know what user to forward a DMCA notice to if they got one.
However, just to be courteous to AirVPN and their providers, you might consider still avoiding the US servers for that if you can. The reason is DMCA notices are still likely a hassle to mess with on the back end, and US servers are always prime targets for copyright trolls. Air might not even care, but we imagine it’s probably helpful so they don’t risk having to constantly change service providers.
Extremely satisfied.
Only thing is that they only support OpenVPN which means you can’t use it for your iPhone or iPad. For this use you will have to use another VPN-Provider.
Hello!
Now iOS (iPhone, iPod, iPad) is fully supported. An official OpenVPN client by OpenVPN Technologies is available in the Apple store.
