VyprVPN Review

So many of us never realize the need of using Virtual Private Network (VPN), until we face privacy or security issues in using the internet. All the Internet IP addresses without any masked protection can be tracked, hacked, spoofed, cause more problems to the privacy of a computer connected to Internet and security issues in a business environment that using networks to connect all computers, smartphones, tablets, and other devices.

Only VPNs are easy, best, and affordable security solution for Internet users. Well, today we brought you a well-known VPN named VyprVPN from the GoldenFrog, who has been providing various Internet services from 1994. Their experience in the industry is very impressive.  Currently, they are selling three products VyprVPN (Virtual Private Network), Dump Truck (Cloud Storage), and Cypher (Encrypted messaging).

VyprVPN promises a lot of features and protection in their promotions and advertisements. We are going to analyze all the features and functions one by one.

VyprVPN Features

VyprVPN provides a set of useful features that allows anyone to easily secure their internet connection without affecting the speed. Here we are going to take a deep look into the complete features and functions VyprVPN provides to the customers. So, brace up, let’s have a complete examination of VyprVPN features.

Secured Servers and Programs

First and foremost to look into any VPN Provider is “How Secured this VPN is ?” VyprVPN promises 100% of their VPN servers are hosted by their own and no 3rd party hosting companies involved. So, it means all of the data are handled by VyprVPN itself. The cons of using a 3rd party hosted servers are more. They may take more time to transfer the protocol, won’t switch to another server quickly in case of server down issues, etc.

Also, 100% of the codes for the Virtual Private Network software are written by them. What if they use ready-made scripts available for coding the VPN? It is the riskiest thing since the ready-made scripts may contain Malware, Virus injections, or loopholes to add malware or virus in the future. So, using 100% own coded programs are more secure.

Speed

The next thing to look into VPN is the speed of the network’s data transfer. Here, VyprVPN claims they are the fastest VPN in the world. All the test over a speed of VyprVPN proved their speed is good and no complaints so far. we cannot assure it is the fastest VPN in the world. But, this is a fast VPN, without a doubt. Self-hosted servers are added advantages for such a fast network. I connected to each location using our two test networks, one is using Vypr, and other is Broadband. Also tested on several geo-restricted sites to stream data. One is with slow 3MBPS and the other 20MBPS. Both speeds are satisfactory and I never experience any lags.

Unlimited Data Usage and No Speed Throttling

This is a crucial feature for so many VPN providers since they limit the data usage and earn more by upgrading the data usage. Fortunately, VyprVPN never limits the data usage except in the free version which is limited to 500MB usage per month. No Speed throttling worries with VyprVPN. They provide VPN service without any restrictions in Data Usage as well as Speed.

Bypass ISP Throttling

Internet Service Providers may throttle the Data Transfer speed or disable certain sites to visit, but VyprVPN is breaking the ISP throttling effectively. So, you can enjoy more fast Internet without paying anything extra to your Internet Service Provider. But, remember it won’t happen all the time and on all the sites. The tests on Torrent file downloads proved the increase in Internet speed is possible with VyprVPN.

More Countries to choose

VPN’s most advantageous use is the change of our IP Address and its Location. While most of the VPN’s only providing very less number of locations to choose from, VyprVPN has 48 countries in the locations list. VyprVPN also claims they have more than 700 Servers and 200,000 IP addresses across the world. This claim seems to be true since no complaints about downtime yet.  So, which country you want to show to the world as your location, choose that location, and enjoy all blocked or restricted websites and services.

Unlimited  Server Switching

As there are so many Countries and Servers to choose from, if they are restricted then there is no meaning in adding such a vast number of Server locations. VyprVPN offers unlimited server switching to enjoy all locations without any restrictions.

Available for all the leading Platforms

VyprVPN is available to use in Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Router. The advantage of this is you don’t need to go to another VPN provider for another platform. It is very easy to use VyprVPN across various devices. The user interface is almost the same for all devices. You can even install VyprVPN on a Samsung Smart TV or Firestick.

Multiple VPN Protocol Option

VyprVPN using all the famous Protocols such as PPTP, L2TP/IPsec, and OpenVPN. Along with these famous protocols, they also using Chameleon, which is their own made protocol. Generally, OpenVPN is considered as the fastest and reliable protocol. Next comes the L2TP/IPsec and PPTP. Even there are places where all these three protocols can be blocked. That is where Chameleon protocol coming to break the block. It looks like VyprVPN made the Chameleon to bye-pass restrictions made by Governments and corporations. Particularly it targets the Chinese government’s Blocking and restrictions. But, Chameleon is not available on iOS devices. Otherwise, it is available in Windows, Mac, Android, and Router. Remaining three protocols working in all platforms.

NAT Firewall

NAT Firewall is an additional security option in VyprVPN, which aims in blocking hackers, bots, and other spies from the Network Address Translation (NAT) process used by Wireless routers. This firewall is an additional firewall to your device’s own firewall or another firewall you are using.

VyprDNS

This is a unique addition to this VPN. While all VPN’s normally use VPN server alone to mask the IP address, VyprVPN is using VPN Server and VyprDNS both to mask the IP address. So, it means the chances of finding our own IP address is almost impossible.

Support

Support service is working effectively and it is 24 x 7 x 365 days support. So, no worries about weekends and working hours to contact support, team. They can be contacted through E-mail or Live chat. I contacted the support team using live chat, the team has the technical knowledge to solve any kind of error or issues.

Get Cloud Storage Package

Golden Frog’s cloud storage service is available as an additional free service with VyprVPN. They called it Secure Online Storage.

Installation and User Interface

To use VyprVPN, you will require creating a VyprVPN account. After sign up you need to authorize the account by clicking on confirmation mail. Next, you will be redirected to the VyprVPN dashboard, here you will see the list of options.

Here you are able to download the VyprVPN client, as I mentioned earlier it supports Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Routers. In this review, I tested the VyprVPN on all available platforms. The test is conducted on all platforms since I’m using VyprVPN Premier it supports multi-device at a time. In this review, I used the Windows platform to explain the user interface. After downloading Windows desktop client, you need to log in to the account using credentials used in Sign up.

The user interface is self-explanatory, it is pretty easy to use and simple. The UI carries a big “Connect” button, below it has a network graph, connection status, present IP address, and VPN Protocol information. Once you have turned the connection On and selected a country, you can start accessing location and your actual location is anonymized.

Choosing your desired location is pretty easy, clicking location symbol shows the list of available locations with easy sorting or filtering options like Fastest Server, Ping Latency, Region, and Favourites.
