My experience with the use of paid vpn


Inspired by today's post about the VPN.

Three months ago, my paranoia is still defeated a toad, and I decided to try to use a paid VPN-ohm. Since then I have them replaced three, reviewed about a dozen, and will choose a fourth. Because the normal satisfactory VPN-and I have not found.



I started with Hide My Ass VPN (HMA). I will not give a link, just of Google, if anyone interested. With these guys it was the least problems - paid, shook their program (a wrapper over OpenVPN, of course), has been using.

It is not like their user agreement. After all it claims, "we'll hide you safely, in the PS is written in plain text - and do not think breaking the law will abuzy - we will ban. There are written, that the IP-address is stored, ostensibly in order to optimize their servers.

Servers have a lot. Even in Moscow there. Only it did not work even once - connects, but no Internet. There was another Odessa. On it I was able to work about 5 minutes, after which the internet suddenly tight bran. Mainly used by Dutch, German server occasionally.

Pings were quite decent - in a Starcraft II network is quite a normal play. But the access speed was just awful - better than 1.5 megabits not get up on my memory in general (without a VPN 1910 betrayed vlegkuyu). Agree to pieces, which advertises itself as the ideal thing to download torrents - ridiculous. In general, did not renew.

The second time came to choose thoroughly. Naryl site with reviews of different VPN-s, walked on the list.
The first candidate was the largest provider StrongVPN. All kind of good, but it fares ...
Try to choose a tariff: strongvpn.com / packages.shtml

Some sort of cloud of vague terms such as extra. fees for the frequency shift of the external IP-address (which is typical, but no one takes them). Low vpn-s - only shtatovskih. In general, closed the page with a sense of bewilderment lung.

Next was Freedur. Lovely site. But on this lovely site is completely lacking information about which countries are the server. Pig in a poke decided not to take.

Then there was Astrill. Basically, I liked. Trying to buy - ask to verify your account by entering a code, which must come to the SMS. SMS to the number of Russian, of course, never comes. Spat.

Lyrical digression: Everything vpn-s for some reason, even when registering want to know about everything: full name, address, phone number, zip code, even necessarily need to specify. For organizations that promise to provide clients with anonymity, such as a suspicious lot. Frankly, especially for anonymity and I do not expect, it seems only reasonable guess that the Russian authorities with U.S. companies (or vice versa) will be in contact sooo long, it will not provider notes from the investigator to roll.

In general, spat on Astrill, went to OverPlay. This gave the fly through Google Checkout - is already good, even if my personal details from them are stored. In the PS is clearly stated that the IP are logged, but after 5 days of the log is removed everything except the actual IP, and after 30 days, remove the log completely. In general, bought it.

Speed ??pleased. Actually gave out almost the entire channel. But the interface - this is a song.
How, please tell us, we can make a program to connect to an vpn-in, which does not automatically start the system?? Come on, she even just automatically login does not know how! And can not minimized to tray. I'm really not talking about uebischny style interface "nightmare Tema Lebedev.

But, let's say, I'm still willing to tolerate. But now her stupid habit of writing «Connected», when in fact no konnekta not - that I refuse to understand. The same VPN, your mother! People trust you! You just do not know when they vpn bran, and dancing with a tambourine to the Internet did not start off with vpn I somehow do not have the desire.

In general, a month suffering from overplay, I refused. Posted Astrill-y in tech support, SMS sent. Put Astrill. Will not extend in any.

First of all, guys "modestly" concealed that vpn-servers, they have only five, and hanging them on the main list of servers - it is only http-proxy, which I certainly do not like. Oh well.

European server (the Netherlands and England) give a nice thick channel. But. With a Dutch server does not open vkontakt. And with English battle.net. The devil needs a VPN, a firewall is not worse than the Chinese, I still do not understand.

Their program - a vasche song. Made in a style a la "under the iPhone," Lovely. Interface, so to speak, requires a very good intuition. But also to hell with it. But that's why it Admin rights - it is beyond my comprehension. For some reason.

Starts with the system he did not know how, and if overpley at least you can register in the startup, then astrill - impossible. The devil knows why. Just do not start it. Running around with a tambourine desire again, does not have.

Autologin he can. It is true that 50% of the process hangs at the stage of "authentication" somewhere for 5 minutes, then cuts off. Very cute and user-friendly.

In general, for the fourth time I'm looking for a decent VPN. If you suddenly have a car so - said further:)
