Proxy.sh Review

NOTE: PROXY.SH IS NO LONGER IN OPERATION

Protocols: OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP

Service: Proxy.sh provides an unlimited bandwidth VPN service with 300+ servers in up to 57 countries depending on the package you take. The Quick package ($2/month) has just 2 countries, US and Ukraine, the Basic package ($5/month) includes those and adds 4 more countries, Germany , Netherlands, France and UK.

The Solid package ($10/month), which we tested, has the full 57+ countries and there’s also a Pro package ($20/month) with access to multi-hop technology for the real addicts.

Software is available in Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android. You can use the standard PPTP or OpenVPN installs, use Viscosity or use Proxy.sh’s unique Safejumper software.

This is a really useful client where you can easily switch servers, auto start and reconnect and check the status of your connection.

Based in the Seychelles, Proxy.sh take your privacy very seriously and they are the first VPN provider to launch a transparency report, publishing all takedown and user data requests.

Proxy.sh Speed Test

Below you can see our testing results for Proxy.sh. For more details of how we conduct our speed tests go to VPN Speed Tests

Test PC #1 – United States – OS (Ubuntu 12.10) – ISP (Cox)

Test PC #2 – United Kingdom – OS (Win 7) – ISP (Sky)

Tips: We found speeds much quicker using UDP rather than TCP

Note: The handshake protocol (MSCHAP_V2) used by many PPTP connections has been cracked and therefore PPTP could now be considered unencrypted. For maximum security use OpenVPN or L2TP.
