First time VPN-user point of view.
Good speeds on several servers, depending on location & distance. So far maximum drop in speed is 21% to a server on another continent across the world. Although, another server on the remote continent is giving speed up to 89% of usual.
Easy to choose server selection policy based on bandwidth usage % is a nice feature.
One morning nothing (web page & servers) worked for an hour and a half, but then everything came back to life and all was well again.
Tested IP leakages with half a dozen tools, but to no avail, so everything seems solid.
Minor bugs with wrapper app, but nothing blocking.
Fast responses on troubleshooting inquiries (email).
Discount code worked.
All in all, very well worth the price (especially in the longer subscription plans).
working well !
Protection and Reliability. Have had a few instances where I came home to see the client trying to connect while running without the VPN. Thank god I keep my PeerBlock on. Still could not figure out how to run VPNcheck with the GUI. Though it does work when connecting without the client. I prefer the GUI as it makes selection of servers easier. Speed. Varies quite a bit though I believe My ISP is not liking encrypted communications tested this by changing port and like magic my speeds go up again. Support. Whenever I had a question, responses were accurate and timely even when my questions were not. Best to just shoot Paolo an email as I had some issues with the help desk. Price very reasonable. I would say their privacy policy is the price I need. Bitcoins are a bonus
The setup was amazingly easy. It’s also very easy to tell if you are still connected or not. I haven’t had a dropped connection yet. Definitely would recommend this VPN service. Cheap and reliable, can’t get any better than that.

After 15 days I am very happy with the service. Excellent speed, great support for Linux and they look like privacy maniacs. They accept Bitcoin and give easy instructions on how to connect VPN over TOR. They never question p2p or heavy traffic (I exchanged more than 200 GB in two weeks and never received a complaint like I had with another provider which eventually deleted my subscription). Connection is stable so far, I am permanently connected and I was never disconnected in the past 12 days.
Their forum is a goldmine about sec info. I am in Holland and european servers are very performant. The price is fair, especially for long terms subscriptions and with this 10% discount.
god i wish they’d open a server in australia
but the best vpn provider in the world regardless
Great software does what it says on the tin

AirVPN is the best I’ve tried. Speeds are equal to what my ISP provides on the UK, US, and SE servers and occasionally a tiny bit faster when it comes to p2p connections. Totally reliable! I have left vpn sessions up for days without being disconnected once. I can’t comment on their Windows client, but setup is easy for Linux. And who else accepts bitcoin? Nobody.
AirVPN is first class based on P2P speeds from my location and you can open a port for P2P incoming connections, which is very important if you’re using private torrent trackers like me. Great support and pricing via bitcoin
I’ve had questions, and they’ve been very helpful on the forum; quick to respond and precise. It’s not particularly expensive, either. Reliability has been great compared to my previous VPN experiences. All the servers have been running for me over the last month of use, moreover, I’ve been connected for over a week straight. This is far preferable to other VPN services that disconnect you frequently.
My biggest complaint is the speed. I’m sure that if I jumped around the servers at peak times I would get a faster speed, but, really, it’s a crawl so much of the time. Skype is slow to unusable. Bit torrents are incredibly slow. At times I can do a speed test and download at over 20Mb a second, and rarely do uploads fall below 7Mb a socond. Now, for example, though, I’m downloading at well under 1Mb a second. I’d really like a quick connection all the time, without having to jump around servers. I just haven’t gotten it through AirVPN so far. It’s been enough of an inconvenience for me to look for another service.
(I haven’t voted on protection because I can’t talk about it with any authority or insight.)
Thanks for the review but you must rate ALL criteria or the system does not accept your ratings
