how's it going everybody welcome back and today we're going to be taking a look
at vpn unlimited so this is one of those vpns that um i'm not exactly sure how popular
it is but it seems to be in the news here and there and you know it does a few things well
of course displaying my location and ip address for everybody is definitely not one of them so
i'm not exactly sure even when you do connect it still displays your um ip address and location
it makes it very hard to review it really does i'm not exactly sure why why they do that um
you know maybe hiding it and having me click it if i'd like to take a look at my own ip address
but flashing it 24 7 is definitely not something i'm a fan of i'm also not a fan
of a few things that it does but before we get into this if you guys are interested in any of
the vpns mentioned today yes vpns because i'm i wouldn't be really mentioning other vpns if
vpn unlimited did everything right it barely does everything right in fact it only does
one or two things right and the rest is just uh not that great to say the least uh so i'll be
recommending three other vpns if you guys are interested three of the best vpns you can get
really uh after taking a look at vpn unlimited so if you guys are interested in any of the vpns
mentioned today you'll find links to special deals and discounts as well as full reviews if
you'd like to know the ins and outs of these vpns in terms of privacy policy speed streaming toronto
capabilities as well as security features so keep that in mind if you guys are interested now let's
go ahead and start with what vpn unlimited does well what it does well is actually unblocking
streaming services surprisingly enough it even unblocks netflix usa so the u.s netflix library
which is very difficult for most vpns to unblock and although it does unblock the
u.s netflix library it doesn't really unblock any other library surprisingly enough so when you're
going to unblock uh streaming services these are the only streaming services you can unblock
unfortunately these servers are not fit for uh unblocking streaming services so if you're gonna
wanna unblock a bbc iplayer amazon prime you're gonna have to actually use these servers and when
using for example the netflix library or the netflix server here not gonna be able to use
the same server to unblock hbo max for example for whatever reason it seems like the way they
made it is that each one of these servers is made specifically or optimized specifically
for a certain streaming service unlike other vpns for example with expressvpn if you just
connect to an american server you'll be able to unblock all of the american streaming services
here you're going to have to switch between servers so that's one thing that it still does
right by the way i don't mind switching between servers for a different streaming services
it at least it does unblock the american netflix library which is the most sought after library
but if you're looking for the french library or the uk library or the italian library or whatever
other library you're looking for or maybe perhaps the canadian or australian unfortunately you're
not going to be able to unblock it using vpn unlimited um torrenting it does work well with
torrenting but the problem with streaming here's the problem though uh if you're trying to stream
or torrent this is when speed will um kind of get in your way here so what i what do i mean
now although i'm using the wireguard protocol here uh it's still for you know it's not it's not doing
that well even though it's a wire guard pro i really doubt this is a true wire guard protocol or
if it is a wire guard protocol then it's just not really optimized i guess so i did use keep solid
wise i used optimal it just none of that none of that gave me any better uh wire guard protocol
did give me the best speeds and despite giving me the best speeds the best speeds are just not that
great reaching about 40 to 50 percent drop in in speed which is massive really especially if
my uh base speed right here as you can tell 5.7 i can't really afford to go any lower than that it's
already pretty bad so if i go any lower than that then i'm gonna suffer a massive hit on my download
speed speed here and barely gonna be able to um load or stream in 480p so if you have a speed of
like 100 megabits per second you're still going to suffer like a about a 50 50 60 drop in speed
this is more than a 50 this is nearly 60 percent um i switched to um open vpn what's it called
uh keep solid wise udp um and it's still let me go back to the settings real quick and it still gave
me uh well that it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't good at all not at all from 5.74 to 2 that's a massive
drop so these this is the french server by the way and i switched to the italian server to try it out
i did get slightly better but it's still nearly a 50 drop about 50 actually and then i tried the
american server and just went down to 2.1 uh yeah not good not good at all these speeds are not even
mediocre it's less than mediocre um so i mean you get better speeds when using open vpn tcp with
expressvpn for example so and tcp is supposed to be super slow but here i'm not even able to get
less than of you know 50 40 50 percent drop in speed sometimes 60 in this case right here so yeah
not very good i mean you've got to stop dns leaks but uh is it really going to work very well if the
kill switch itself does not work as intended uh the kill switch doesn't always disconnect your
if you didn't know what a kill switch does it will disconnect your internet connection in case the
vpn disconnects unexpectedly uh it doesn't work as intended here dns firewall by the way will
allow you to filter specific websites so if you have kids in the house and you don't want
them accessing certain websites this will allow you to do that although you don't really need a
vpn for that you can just do that through your by accessing your router your router app and
you'll be able to do such filtering you don't really need a vpn for that um what else does this
vpn do um i mean i think the only thing it does well is just unblocking uh netflix besides that
it really doesn't do much again the kill switch doesn't always work as intended oh
the questionable data collection by the way so you know this is uh this is not good this is just not
good so here it says we may also collect personal data such as email contact information website and
app diagnostics analytics etc from third parties such as marketing research sales lead generator
companies social networks as well as from any publicly accessible sources that's a lot of
information so are they going to going to collect my twitter information my facebook information
my uh is it going to extract all of that and give it to third parties this is uh or even if
they keep it for themselves it seems like they're going to be using it for marketing and yeah that's
that's just very questionable that alone is enough to really deter me from using uh vpn unlimited and
i downloaded vpn unlimited before i even looked up the privacy policy so i guess it's too late for
me but yeah i'm i'm actually going to uninstall it afterwards since i already have or use better much
better vpns and you know let's say you do want to buy vpn unlimited is it really worth five bucks a
month for the year 60 bucks hmm i've got better options and these better options are definitely
not going to be flashing my ip address for everybody to see on the internet while reviewing
the vpn here so of course as i said earlier we've got expressvpn nordvpn and surfshark and all of
which they they do cater to all kinds of budgets so you know you don't have to pay if you don't
want to pay a whole lot for express you can go down a notch with nord and you can go even cheaper
with surf shark one of the cheapest vpns but still one of the highest performing vpns in the industry
if you're looking to unblock a streaming service for example now granted nordvpn and surf shark are
going to struggle unblocking the american netflix library something that vpn unlimited surprisingly
does quite a bit well uh however since vpn unlimited cannot unblock any other library you've
got nordvpn able to unblock nordvpn and surfshark they're able to unlock a whole bunch of libraries
except for the states library now with expressvpn you'll be able to unblock the states library
though you might have to since uh netflix has been cracking down on vpn traffic very lately
you might have to just switch between a few servers in order to make it work if the new york
doesn't work with the new york server doesn't work don't worry one of these servers will work just
uh pick one of them move on from east coast to west coast to middle america and one of
these servers will work for sure um so with regards to netflix using netflix as a reference
expressvpn is able to unblock up to 18 netflix libraries 10 with nord and 15 with surf shark
so very good overall of course the speeds are going to be in between 10 and 20 percent drops
sometimes even below 10 with nordvpn's nord links because nord lynx is a true wireguard
protocol unlike vpn unlimited's wireguard protocol which isn't really it doesn't seem to be a wire
protocol unless it's just very badly optimized uh so nordlings offers really good speeds
uh you've got the uh of course all the kill switches work is intended but
you also have an app kiss which will end tasks of uh selected applications rather than
rather than the entire network and of course you've got split tunneling uh you've got custom
dns and a handful of protocols um well the least bit of protocols here with uh
nordvpn but all you need is nor links really uh you've got of course here the uh hold on oh
not in locations go to options uh the kill switch split tunneling super easy to use
uh and a bunch of protocols i'd recommend just sticking to lightweight udp uh same thing with
surprise oh by the way in north vpn if i mentioned you do get specialty servers and if you switch to
openvpn you will get two extra specialty servers including dedicated ip and double vpn which are
also existent in surf shark known as m also known as multihop and static ip and you've got uh of
course the kill switch whitelister which is split tiling and ad blocker which is also available in
uh nordvpn right here in general it's called cybersec and you've got no borders mode if you'd
like to bypass the great travel of china and only if the regular uh servers don't work you can just
use no borders mode definitely stick with wire guard protocol shadow socks will help you reach
banned websites if you are having trouble reaching websites if you're in a restrictive country
and that's pretty much it really uh with regards to devices expressvpn will allow you to secure
five devices per subscription six with north and an unlimited amount with surf shark which is
really really generous here's the thing though if you want to secure an unlimited amount of devices
with nordvpn and search and expressvpn excuse me you're gonna have to download these vpns on
or install these vpns rather on your routers and compatible routers can cost quite a bit now the
router app for expressvpn is excellent by the way super easy to use and configure such as the
ui itself it's it looks pretty much the same on all uh the devices you're using be it a smart tv
or whatever it is you're using super super super easy to use and very consistent and reliable
um but with surfshark you know they're giving the option to just um secure an
unlimited amount of devices without having to use a costly compatible router so that's pretty
cool again if you guys are interested in any of these vpns feel free to check the reviews
