Pros
Can be set to automatically turn on. Shows it is connected on in upper corner on iPhone; like the visual confirmation.
Cons
How to set up in settings to automate turning on; must have missed in directions.
Had all the problems listed in the other reviews until I found that settings had to be changed to automate to automatically turn on.
Summary
I just completed my trial today. Yesterday while looking for something on the phone found under setting had an option of automatically turn on VPN. Once I checked that, all the problems resolved. Subscribed.

Pros
I can't think of any.
Cons
I get blocked from some of my accounts, I have to turn it off to connect/login.
My internet speed drops to a crawl under Time-Warner speed test.
Summary
I want a secure connection, particularly when logging into bank accounts but the cost-efficiency is not their for this product. Some accounts are doing their job by blocking as suspicious so the VPN must be working but the speed factor and inconvenience isn't worth it.
I won't be renewing this service, particularly after running some speed tests and saw my download speed drop exponentially when SecureLineVPN is connected. It also affects streaming TV, with intermittent buffering. When I turn the connection off the streaming returns to normal.
A waste of time and money IMHO!

Unknown. I have no earthly idea whether it's working or not !
Cons
Unknown. I have no earthly idea whether it's working or not !
Summary
Cumbersome to determine whether it's connected or not. Would be nice to have an icon superimposed on the screen to indicate connect status. For example "VPN on" vs. "VPN off." My rating at this point is -- neutral.
