A reliable VPN with good privacy options
Even though mostly used for entertainment, the Internet is not a very safe place. There are many hackers who might try to steal your private information.
What is more, tons of interesting and useful websites are blocked in certain countries. I am looking at you, Netflix. So what can a simple user do in order to avoid all these dangers and unnecessary censorship? The easiest thing is to install a VPN. Also known as a Virtual Private Network, it is a kind of a virtual tunnel between your computer and the Internet. While you are connected through this tunnel, it is almost impossible to track your activities. You can also freely access all the pages you want without the knowledge of your Internet provider, the government, websites, advertisers, or even hackers.
PROS CONS VERDICT
High level of security Mediocre performance rates VPN Unlimited is a simple and reliable VPN service, compatible with various platforms and devices.
Includes lifetime protection Partly based in the U.S.
Excellent client software for various devices
VPN Unlimited[1] is quite a rare gem in the world of Virtual Private Network services. It has lots of interesting features, such as a lifetime subscription that lets you save money, or personal servers that are even safer than usual VPN servers and offer higher speed.
VPN Unlimited has tons of features that make your browsing safe and convenient. Let's explore them one by one in this VPN Unlimited review.
VPN Unlimited is relatively inexpensive. Users can choose from four different plans. Monthly plan starts at $9.99 per month, a yearly subscription is $59.99 yearly or $5.00 per month, 2- year plan is billed at once and is $99.99 ($2.78 per month). You can also get a Lifetime subscription for $199.99.[2] You also have the possibility to try this service for free as you can get VPN Unlimited a free 7-day trial. Not many VPN providers offer free trials, like ZenMate or VyprVPN. What is more, the company gives you your money back if you are not satisfied with their services. Getting started VPN Unlimited offers a client software for Windows, including an older version for Windows XP SP3 to Windows 10, macOS X 10.10 Yosemite and later, and Linux for Debian GNU/Linux 8.0 or later.
VPN Unlimited also includes mobile versions for Android and iOS devices, Windows Phone. It is compatible with Apple TV and major browsers, including Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The subscription lets you cover 5 devices of your choice. However, if you have more than 5, you can easily cover them with your subscription for an additional fee. This is a great feature, comparable to AirVPN and NordVPN. VPN Unlimited does not require users to provide their name or other personal information during the setup. Users only need to provide their email address. The download, installation, and setup took about 10 minutes.
All of the plans mentioned above includes coverage for up to 5 devices, unlimited traffic and connection speed, 27/7 email and instant live chat support, proprietary apps, Torrent (P2P) servers, and zero-log policy.
With VPN Unlimited, all the data and Internet traffic are encrypted with a 4,096-bit key and the Diffie-Hellman elliptic curve technique with a 256-bit key for authentication, which means that no third parties will be able to track what you do. And as your IP address is changed, there is no way somebody can track your activities online, meaning no personal information will leak. The company offers users full access to more than 400 servers in more than 70 locations. VPN Unlimited uses OpenVPN, L2TP/IPSec, IKEv2, KeepSolid Wise, and PPTP protocols and Military-grade 256-bit encryption.
All of this means that there are no barriers set by countries – you can easily access the pages that are blocked in the country you live or are currently visiting. The company is based at a residential address in the Bronx borough of NYC and provides no contact information. The parent company of VPN Unlimited is Ukrainian-based KeepSolid, which is based in Odessa.
Personal servers If you want the speed to be even better, you can order a personal VPN server. These kind of servers are available in countries like the UK, the USA, France, Germany, Canada, India, and the Netherlands. Having your own server costs $21.99 per month. However, these servers have a bandwidth limit of 1TB per month.
Security With this VPN, you are protected no matter which WiFi network is used for browsing, whether it be a public network at a coffee shop or a private network at your home. As VPN Unlimited blocks adware, you will be protected from malicious advertisers who might implement dangerous malware into their advertisements. This adds an additional level of safety to your computer, meaning fewer viruses might try to attack you.
When it comes to performance and speeds, VPN Unlimited is not the best player in the market. However, it demonstrates an average rate. It took about 40 seconds to connect to its' servers which is one of the lowest scores among the tested VPNs. We also needed to reconnect it a few times while traveling. It is worth to mention that it stayed connected for 24 hours straight streaming videos and music without any problems.
The average download speed was about 20 Mbps which is about 70% slower than the baseline. The average upload speed was also about 20 Mbps which is about 20% worse than Private Internet Access which demonstrated the best performance rates.
VPN Unlimited offers users 24/7 email and a live chat support. The service notes that an average response time is up to an hour. VPN Unlimited also has an informative support webpage. It includes FAQs, user manuals and other important product-related information.
VPN Unlimited has a client software for various devices, and it's very convenient to use and easy to understand. The main screen on the desktop application displays a world map, your location, and the current IP address. The Servers tab includes a loss of connection points and its workload.
The interface is easy to navigate. The mobile[3] versions are quite similar to desktop – they retain the world map, list of connection points and provide users with modification settings.
VPN Unlimited is one of the more interesting choices. Its unique services make it an obvious option to those who value their security. Even though the price is a bit high for a one-month subscription, the tool makes up for it with its long-term payment plans.
