StrongVPN Review

OK.

I got it setup with San Fransisco, L2TP, Windows 7, StrongVPN Client.

It worked the first time I tried it.

Utorrent is pulling over 1.9 MB/s & is showing the little green check mark in the lower right hand corner of the screen.

I have tried about 6 VPN services, both in the US & overseas and this is the easiest one to use.

Not only does it work the first time you try it, it works great with Utorrent without messing with a bunch of settings.

I know that US torrent use is still tracked by the VPN service providers because they have to follow US law– even if the service provider is located outside the US– so it really doesn’t make that much sense oging with someone else– unless you like super slow speeds & having to mess with the settings all the time.

I bought the year long subscription to StrongVPN & it really does look like the best option out there right now for speed, ease of use & price.

I chatted with one of the support guys who told me officially they don’t support p2p due to legal reasons but unofficially I can run p2p off their vpn without any issues. About few months later they sent me DMCA letter and suspend my account. Sounds like I have been lied and not only that they seem to have kept logs which is another big no no.

How much you want to bet if somebody ask for their customer information they will instant give them out?

Reliable, stable connection & speed does not mean its a great service to be with. Plenty of new users thinks VPN will either keep minimal logs & stop ISP/Law Enforcement from tracking them. For some VPN service its true however for StrongVPN its NOT true. Beware StrongVPN will give you up if they receive ANY legal papers.

There are plenty of other VPN out there who NEVER keep activity logs & connection (IP) logs StrongVPN isn’t one of them.

Started using Stong as my first vpn a few months back and I was reasonable happy until I looked into it a bit more. gets very expensive if you do any switching and the lack of real privacy scared me to much. switched to HMA last month

StrongVPN is excellent for USA only services such as Hulu. Speed and support are both very good. BUT their TOS says they will suspend your account if they get a dmca notice associated with you, especially if you are using bit torrents. Beware and don’t say you weren’t warned.

Ok, they are cheap if you want to do no switching and that’s fine if you want to sign into your Hulu account while travelling. But given their TOS it seems they would drop you in it at the drop of a hat. Depnds what you need a vpn for I guess.
