Does the job so far. Can't really complain.

Pros
- Easy installation and setup - Multi device license as default - Not that expensive - Android and iOS version
Cons
- No Mac version - Could have more server locations available - Setup on routers or samrt TV's would be fine - Sometimes connection a bit slow, but re-start usually helps
Summary
VPN is OK but ...

batzny-helenaAugust 10, 2016
Pros
I've received a free copy of the software from a promotion of PCMag earlier this year. The product has been very helpful to me as I am an expat working in several different places over in Europe. The pricing is very reasonable. This is why in the end I've decided to go for the 1 year licence. I hope this short review is helpful for you.
Cons
Some more locations in Europe would be helpful (Belgium, Italy).
Summary
Only few Locations!

joachim.10317June 29, 2016
Pros
Had my trouble installing it in the first place (think it's due to CNET installer). I'm using it now for 2 weeks in the full paid version. I do not regret it. The vpn is fast in the UK where I live. I use it mainly to unlock US content.
Cons
Trouble installing it with the CNET installer
