There are no favorites and there’s no server information, which we could accept in light of ’s mission to (over)simplify things, but if that’s the case, why employ non-standard terminology like ‘transporter’ in place of ‘server’, a well-known term even among technophobes? We have to question the decision to make what’s essentially the ‘off’ setting green – has the universal color for ‘on’ changed while we weren’t looking? You’ll have to click 'secure my connection', and when the dialogue turns blue, you’re good to go. Unfortunately, this somewhat misleading layout means you’re connected to a password-protected network, not that the VPN is active. Windows and macOS clients are really bare-bones, and some questionable design choices will confuse many users who are new to VPNs – which is curious, given this is ’s target audience.Ĭlicking the menu bar (macOS) or system tray (Windows) icon brings up the main screen, in a reassuring green with a giant white check-mark on it. In our testing we found the balance between simplicity and security skewed in the wrong direction. On the plus side, we got some good speeds: 67Mbps on a 75Mbps UK connection, and upwards of 240Mbps on a 600Mbps US line, which is very good. However, as promised, neither Disney+ nor Amazon Prime worked. We had no trouble connecting to US Netflix or BBC iPlayer despite the fact that ’s website specifically says the service cannot be used to do so (and even recommends StrongVPN instead).
