VPNSecure.me Review
VPNSecure.me is a VPN service provider that offers several different protocols as well as servers across the globe, with a client that is designed to be extremely user friendly. All of these is backed by rates that are very affordable.
Speed Test
VPNSecure.me has speeds that are slightly better than other VPN service providers within the same price range. There is a little bit of lag, which is unavoidable with VPNs due to the delay caused by data encryption.
Pricing Plans
VPNSecure.me has a multi-tiered pricing plan designed to meet the needs of different people:
• Proxy Only accounts cost $3.95 monthly
• VPN service using PPTP costs $7.95 per month
• VPN service using OpenVPN costs $9.95 per month
• VPN service that uses both PPTP and OpenVPN costs $13.95 per month
PPTP servers are naturally cheaper than OpenVPN ones because PPTP is a little bit slower. VPNSecure.me doesn’t log any of your activity, so it is perfectly safe even at the physical level.
Client Setup
VPNSecure.me’s setup is very easy since they provide an installer that automates the installation, similar to most windows installers. It shouldn’t take you a few minutes to get your VPN up and running and ready for anonymous surfing.
Server Locations
VPNSecure.me prides itself on a large number of servers spread out all over the world. The countries they currently support include the Netherlands, Japan, Australia, UK, USA, Ukraine, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Russia, and France.
Protocols Supported
VPNSecure.me supports both PPTP and OpenVPN, and they also provide basic proxy servers.
Errors Encountered
We encountered no errors during our testing of their client. However, it’s been reported that users may encounter connection problems if their computers are improperly configured. VPNSecure.me’s staff is ready to help even if the problems are with the user’s own settings.
Conclusion
VPNSecure.me’s multi-tiered pricing plan is a big bonus, as cash strapped individuals can pick a service that fits within their budget, they also provide basic proxy servers for people who don’t really need all the protection that a VPN brings. If one simply needs to surf anonymously, the proxy server will do. However, people who need to bypass firewalls or avoid ISP traffic shaping must get VPNsecure.me’s actual VPN service. Just be careful when it comes to choosing the plan, since we saw that their top tiered package is actually a little bit overpriced compared to other VPN services that provide the same features.
Overall, VPNSecure.me may not have competitive prices and features, but they provide a decent and stable service.
