VyprVPN Review

How Much Does VyprVPN Cost?

VyprVPN offers a range of different subscription plans. Its monthly plan comes in at $12.95 a month, which is relatively expensive when compared to its competitors. However, if you opt for the annual plan, the price drops to a reasonable $3.75 a month. And, if you are happy to sign up for a long-term plan, its 3-year option is the most cost-effective at $1.66 a month. If you can afford to pay for three years in advance, this deal will set you back just $60, which is an excellent price.

Previously, the VPN service offered a 2-year subscription plan for $2.50 per month, however, this appears to be no longer available and has been replaced by the 3-year option. Every account comes with 5 simultaneous connections.

Users can opt to pay by credit card, UnionPay, or PayPal. You will be asked for payment details when you sign up, however, the provider will not charge you for 3 days, so you can consider it to be a short 3-day free trial. Despite that the free trial isn’t long, it is more than most other VPN providers offer.

Even after the 3 days have run out, there is also a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. This means that you cant test the service for a month and request a full refund if you are not completely happy with the service. A few providers offer slightly longer money-back guarantees- CyberGhost provides 45 days- however, this should be more than enough to identify any major issues.

How Private is VyprVPN?

VyprVPN works hard to protect your anonymity and privacy on the internet. It employs first-rate privacy and security protocols and military-standard encryption. It operates on AES-256-GCM and SHA384 HMAC as standard for the OpenVPN protocol, while also offering TLS-ECDHE-RSA-2048 for Perfect Forward Secrecy. Perfect Forward Secrecy technology works to guarantee that a new encryption key is created at the start of every VPN session so that even if a cybercriminal intercepted a private key, they would only gain access to information in the current VPN session.

The VPN technology now also supports WireGuard across all platforms and operating systems. The IKEv2 protocol is also available on multiple apps, including Windows.

VyprVPN provides a Chameleon protocol to overcome strong VPN blocking technology and get connected. The Chameleon protocol may be helpful in unblocking streaming services such as Netflix. If you run into difficulties while connecting to any of the VPN servers, VyprVPN’s Service Status page offers a range of helpful information and user setup guides. It is also regularly updated, so you should be able to find the answer to any query.

The provider also offers encrypted zero-knowledge DNS technology which serves to prevent cybercrime such as “man in the middle attacks.” There is DNS filtering and a range of other advanced features too.

Each individual client offers varying privacy features, including the option to protect against DNS leaks, and integrated kill switches to ensure no encrypted data becomes compromised if your VPN or internet connection fails. A kill-switch works to cut the internet connection if your VPN connection drops so that you are always protected.

Does VyprVPN Log User Data?

Understanding a VPN provider’s logging policy can often be overwhelming and difficult for beginner users. However, VyprVPN comes with a transparent privacy policy that is easy to read and understand. The VPN reassures users that there is no logging of destination or source IP addresses, VPN connection timestamps, DNS queries, or user traffic data.

The provider even released an independent security audit completed by Leviathan Security Group in 2018. The results of the audit can be seen in a public report on the provider’s no-logging policy. This means that unlike many other providers, you do not have to take VyprVPN’s word when it comes to its privacy policy, as there is real evidence to back it up.

The audit initially identified a few limited security issues however, these were quickly resolved, and as a result, the audit can offer VyprVPN users the peace of mind that the service is not storing or misusing their VPN activity.

This is extremely reassuring and VyprVPN offers a level of transparency rarely seen from the majority of VPN providers. However, we would like to see VyprVPN continue to release such audits. TunnelBear now releases annual security audits of its servers and policy, and we hope that other providers follow suit.

Is VyprVPN Good for Streaming?

Many VPNs claim that they can provide access to geo-restricted content on streaming services such as Netflix, however, many actually live up to their promises. Although VyprVPN offers decent unblocking capability, which is better than most other VPN providers offer, it cannot unblock everything.

VyprVPN is a relatively good option if you are looking for a VPN service to gain access to geo-restricted content on your favorite streaming services. Upon testing, VyprVPN gained access to Netflix shows in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. However, it could not access every Netflix library across the world.

The provider was also successful at accessing content on a range of other streaming services including US YouTube libraries, BBC iPlayer, and Disney+. However, if you enjoy watching content on Amazon Prime Video, you will be disappointed, as it struggled to overcome VPN blocking technology there.

VyprVPN is better than most other VPN technologies when it comes to accessing geo-restricted content on streaming services. While it does not enable access to every popular streaming service, we would still recommend it if you are looking to access streaming content, especially considering that the provider is extremely transparent about the sites that it can unblock and what it can’t.

VyprVPN even offers a status page on its website stating the sites that currently work and those that don’t. It even provides helpful advice on choosing the best servers to access content on a particular streaming site. However, if you want to gain unlimited access to a host of popular streaming sites, we would suggest a VPN service such as NordVPN or Surfshark for more reliable access to your favorite content.

Is VyprVPN Good for Torrenting?

Even though VyprVPN does not offer dedicated torrenting or P2P support, it does state that peer-to-peer sharing is allowed across all of its server connections. Also, thanks to its extensive privacy policy, no data traffic is logged during torrenting sessions, and no ports are blocked either. This means that VyprVPN is a decent option for torrenting users.

Is VyprVPN Good for Gaming?

VyprVPN’s Golden Frog GMBH network offers fast speeds that are suitable for gaming in high definition. By re-routing your internet connection through Golden Frog GMBH, you will receive access to optimal speeds and low latency.

VyprVPN’s Golden Frog network offers IP addresses and server locations around the globe in close proximity to popular gaming server locations. This means that you can game with faster speeds, and reduced ping for an enhanced in-gameplay experience.

Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) may throttle your internet connections and speed if they cannot meet the demands of constant streaming, gaming, and torrenting. Utilizing VPN technology can enable you to bypass congested networks, overcome ISP speed throttling, and reduce lag.

Connecting to a Golden Frog server location across the globe can also enable you to access geo-restricted gaming content, launches, updates, and more before they are even available or released in your region.

VyprVPN also offers internet privacy and security to protect your internet connection from DDoS attacks. The VPN solution offers access to more than 200,000 IP addresses around the globe to ensure your real IP address cannot be targeted by third parties. The NAT Firewall enables you to block unrequested incoming data traffic to further secure your connection and ensure a smooth gaming experience.

Does VyprVPN Have a Good Server Network?

With VyprVPN, you can choose your desired server from a network of locations across the globe. Every server location offers first-rate hardware for optimal speed and an excellent streaming and gaming experience. Users have access to more than 300,000 IP addresses around the globe. The provider ensures complete privacy and security for every user across more than 70 worldwide locations.

Does VyprVPN Offer Good Platform Support?

VyprVPN is one of the best VPN services when it comes to support for a range of devices and operating systems. There are user-friendly apps for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Smart TVs, routers, Chromebooks, QNAP, Anonabox, and Blackphone. Easy-to-use guides for setting up the VPN on other devices too such as AppleTV, OpenWRT, and OpenELEC to DD-WRT, are also available. The website provides OpenVPN and APK configuration files for setting up the app on these devices.

However, VyprVPN unfortunately does not offer extensions for browsers. Even though there is a range of third-party extensions available on app stores to add an additional layer of protection for your browsing activity, many VPN providers offer dedicated browser extensions for activating and deactivating the VPN. However, this useful feature is not offered by VyprVPN.

When you sign up to VyprVPN, you will be redirected to a download page that offers a link to download the app. There is also helpful information regarding protocol support and minimum requirements. There is also the option to utilize your own client by downloading OpenVPN configuration files. Installing the VyprVPN app is quick and easy, simply run the file and enter your username and password when prompted.

The VyprVPN apps for Windows, Mac, and Chromebook are simple but well-designed. The apps feature an integrated kill-switch to protect your activity if your VPN connection fails for any reason. The kill-switch will block your internet connection until the VPN is reconnected to ensure your real IP address and unencrypted data traffic remains protected.

Is VyprVPN Compatible with Mobile Devices?

Installing a virtual private network on your mobile devices is important and will provide an additional layer of protection for your identity and anonymity when you connect to unsecured public Wi-Fi networks in cafes, hotels, and gyms.

VyprVPN offers a simple Android app that is easy to use and navigate, even for beginner users. There is DNS leak protection, customizable DNS options, an integrated kill-switch, and the option to activate automatic startup. The app supports a range of protocols including OpenVPN, WireGuard, and VyprVPN’s own Chameleon protocol. However, there is no support for the IKEv2 protocol. Users can also enable split-tunneling to bypass the connection for specific apps.

For advanced users, there is the option to install the Android client using the APK file that is offered on the VyprVPN website. VyprVPN’s mobile app is similar to the Android version, however, it does lack some of its advanced features. There is, unfortunately, no kill-switch, however, there is support for WireGuard. The mobile apps are relatively powerful and configurable and overall, are some of the best on the market.

Does VyprVPN Offer Good Customer Service?

VyprVPN offers a range of support articles on its website that cover setup instructions for Windows, iOS, Mac, Android apps, and more. However, some of the guides are relatively short. Fortunately, there is also live chat and email support in case you do not find an answer to your query in the support guides.
