    I would read in more detail about this vpn service, I am interested to read about what they are doing something new at the moment I have just tried the services, and I want to say that most of them are simply not working. They just pretend that they work but do not change the IP of your country to another. That is why my acquaintances created a site on which he collected all the best vpn servins at the moment that exist, they may not even be checked. They have been proven by many users around the world just over the years. I will give you a link to this site who will be interested, you can watch and download vpnonline.com.

    Hey Andrei,

    I just came across your VPN now. Is it still available?

      Hey,

      Unfortunately the cost economics weren’t there, the tech is solid but we couldn’t get any traction at our low margin to make it work. So we’ve decided to shut it down. Will probably sell the tech at some point

        Thanks for your quick response. I would be interested in learning more about the tech and pricing.

      Thank you :) I’m available on chat and here to answer any questions :)! We are a little bit different than other providers since we don’t write pesky clients we try to keep things minimal and convenient, everything we use is open source and can be audited!

    Hi there. I use VPNs a lot because I like watching foreign TV shows. My barrier to paying for any tech is very high, and that also goes for VPNs, so I only ever consider options that a) are free, or b) at least offer free trial. I did not notice you having a trial. Also your regular $8 or $9 price is about two times the price of other competitive services.

    My other consideration w.r.t VPNs, is sometimes I have the VPN enabled but the TV channels are smart enough to realize it is a known VPN ip and end up blocking it. Whenever this happens it is irritating but it would be even more if I had paid for a VPN when it doesn't even do what I expect it to do. I am still looking for something that I could actually rely on.

    My primary criteria for choosing VPN is based on which country IPs the provider has available. I do not see that info on your website.

      Hello,

      Here is what the supported countries are: https://www.tunnelhero.com/features

      Although I can say Netflix doesn’t work on our VPN since we operate out of data centres and they blanket ban all data Center ips, if you tell me what services you want to use I can double check and make sure they work.

      Also we are not detectable as a VPN and you can get a new IP address with a few clicks.

      Thanks Andrei

        This is good info, thanks! I will look at this again in more detail.
