If you can’t connect to a server, try switching the software settings to TCP. Everything is UDP by default, which can sometimes have difficulty with the initial connection/handshake.
There’s a handy function on the software you can enable which allows you to change IP addresses while connected to a particular server.
1st class vpn, p2p servers and a huge choice of locations. Very slick software. not the cheapest but makes me feel safe.
For me the best vpn because of its advanced features. I can control every aspect of the process with this VPN. And the 12 month package is cheaper than the rest. As for torrents, I use it all the time and have no problems with it on their P2P servers. By keeping their non p2p servers IPs clean, this is by far the best service. Very few blacklisted IPs. The other top services allow their IPs to be blacklisted and then become quickly unusable. Its a pain to have to switch IPs all the time because they are blacklisted. This is a service that improves their product all the time. Been with them for 3 years now.
slick software,no logs, a large fast netowrk and dedicated p2p servers. great vpn
VPN4ALL performs flawlessly for me. The best feature is the TRUE PRIVACY you get with this svc. So far, I haven’t experienced any slowdown in speed, even using distant servers. I use the Seychelles server, since it’s physically located in an area where I know they’re not required to log. I read (and this may be wrong) that if they have servers in a country where logging is required, then they (VPN4ALL) would have to comply with court order. So I don’t know if VPN4ALL can say they don’t log in the USA, if US laws require it. Please correct me if I’m wrong, otherwise I’ll stick with Seychelles as the safest server location.
Lastly, I highly recommend this VPN service based on my experience with its excellent performance. Price is reasonable when you consider the expense of running a network like this.
good
good reliable vpn. speeds good, could do with more p2p servers as they can get a little crowded but i’m happy. expensive unless you go for longer plan. wish i’d seen the discount here before i signed (:
I am very satisfied with vpn4all, good speed and high security.
No problems at all so far.
Grabbed the 3 month mobile package for my HTC Thunderbolt. I pass through a lot of wi-fi hotspots while travelling and I wanted security and reliabilty and thats what you get. very easy to set-up and use some may find it a bit pricey but for me peace of mind is worth the premium
Is VPN4ALL still performing well on your Thunderbolt? I have a Droid Bionic, but hesitated getting this, as I thought it might slow down performance. I’m very happy with it on my PC, though.
Good secure offshore vpn, connection never drops and speeds are good. Easy to set-up and great interface. Helpful support team.
Great VPN, good server choice, secure privacy with IP switching, P2p servers and great value. Worth the investment!
This could well be the Rolls Royce of VPN services. Wide global network of fast reliable servers. Dedicated P2P servers aren’t the fastest due to their location in relation to me but they are plenty good enough. Client interface has more options than any others I’ve seen. The price is higher for sure, at least it was as I now see they are offering a 12 month option which undercuts the top dogs. But you still need to pay extra for the mobile option.
They’re breaking Dutch laws by censoring the media that are talking about torrents. You are unable to read pages with ‘torrents’ on the page. They are okay with you going to torrent-websites, but reading articles about torrents is their nightmare and they will not allow you to read them. This counts for ALL articles on ALL websites, ALL over the world. Your local newspapers will be blocked as soon as the word ‘torrent’ shows up.
This is against the Dutch law, and I think it is even against laws of the EU. This is important due the fact that they are a Dutch company. Being a provider of an internet service, they are not allowed to censor pages without . Due the fact that they do not talk about this, nor in the process of ordering, nor in the Terms of Service, they are also misleading their costumers. Their Terms of Service state that you are not allowed to download through P2P on certain servers. However, they do not say that they block random pages with the word ‘torrent’ on it. They are not allowed to do this without any form of judicial power.
I work for a Dutch broadcaster, known for programs about customer rights. I highly advise against this service and do not recommend this. We might start an investigation about VPN-services, where this will be shown as the bad example if they do not change their policy. We have informed them about the investigation yesterday.
Hi Marieke, we do mention in our review that ‘if you are connected via a ‘No-P2P’ server you may even find some torrent related sites blocked’.
We also think this is a bit over the top, but may be a flawed filter configuration (perhaps blocking “torrent” instead of “.torrent”?). But in any case, you can get around this in many instances by using the https:// version of a website instead of http://, if the site has it available. For example, http://torrentfreak.com is blocked, but https://torrentfreak.com works.
I’ve just tried the UK (no P2P) server and was able to access http://torrentfreak.com and other torrent sites and articles so the filter isn’t 100%. Or you could just read torrent stuff using your native connection. One thing is for sure, you can P2P on the P2P servers.
Now that you’ve contacted them I’m sure they’ll sort the filter thingy!
