The VPN industry is really diverse.
Yet we don't usually hear that much
about most of the providers,
NordVPN, Surfshark, XpressVPN.
Those are always on the top of everyone's tongue
but what about some other really good services?
Today, I review ViperVPN.
A service that I believe deserves a spotlight.
Let's get it done quick.
Subscription button right there, bell right there,
click them for me, please.
Also description is down there.
That's where the deals lie and wait for the insightful user
to take advantage of them.
What are you waiting for?
Grab him.
So let's get down to the ViperVPN review 2021.
It's a relatively old service, it's been around since 2009
and I bet you realize that a lot of changes
in a tech world in 11 days, nevermind whole years.
That's why it's so impressive
that ViperVPN holds its ground
even when it's against much more tech savvy
and advanced users.
ViperVPN has extremely modest prices
with longer commitments
putting even valued jogger knots like Surfshark to shame.
Doesn't that sound awesome?
Sure does.
Surely there's an explanation why ViperVPN
is so underrated compared to the industry leaders.
I'm going to take a look deep into ViperVPN's features
to answer this question for you.
Since we've been on the forefront of the VPN
reviewing business for quite a long time,
going through 200 plus VPNs for small providers
to gigantic services,
I guarantee you that there's a lot
I can tell you about VPNs.
Especially since I use them myself all the time.
That's why you might wanna watch this Viper VPN review 2021.
So to start with, let me give you a brief verdict.
It excels in the fight against censorship,
has great security and tight privacy.
And even in terms of speed and in blocking content,
it does quite well as well.
This is especially true
since the implementation of the new WireGuard protocol
last year.
But let's discuss the strengths and weaknesses of ViperVPN
in greater detail.
ViperVPN excels at protecting your privacy.
I mentioned that before,
but ViperVPN belongs to that Switzerland based company,
Golden Frog.
A company dedicating a lot of resources to privacy
and security on the global scale.
ViperVPN was one of the first VPNs
to have its no logs policy independently audited.
With that said, there are small notches
on their door of their vault.
For example, while ViperVPN does allow you to register
for the subscription with just your email,
even if it asks for a name,
you can always write a random one.
The problem arises with a payment.
You can't pay using anonymous methods like cryptocurrencies.
Your options are limited to credit cards or PayPal
which will give you your private information.
For such a privacy focused service,
it's a serious oversight.
On the security side though, ViperVPN is doing great.
It employs high end encryption and has some extra tools
like a DNS leak protection, a kill switch,
and even a cloud service.
You can set ViperVPN to activate automatically
when you connect to the public wifi,
A minor detail, but a welcome one.
Even with all that security in place,
ViperVPN performance in 2021 is quite decent.
I need to mention that ViperVPN hosts over 700 servers
in 70 locations across the globe,
which doesn't seem much until you realize
that ViperVPN owns each one of them
effectively nullifying any chance
of a third party intervention.
The connection speed though varies quite a bit.
Check this ViperVPN speed test.
I'm currently connected to the UK server.
The speed test is decent more than enough for daily use,
but if we will switch the WireGuard protocol,
it goes quite a bit.
Sure, if you saw NordVPN's numbers,
this might look really slow in comparison,
but this speed is by no means terrible.
In fact, you'll be surprised by how good ViperVPN
Netflix performance is,
and it's not limited to Netflix alone.
And of course all the streaming platforms you need
are getting easily unblocked by the ViperVPN.
When you are using it,
no foreign library will be out of your reach.
ViperVPN also allows torrenting and doesn't block any ports.
P2P connections using ViperVPN are quick, stable
and absolutely anonymous.
So if you had any concerns regarding your privacy
while torrenting throw them out of the window.
ViperVPN supports not only conventional platforms
like windows, Mac, Android, and iOS,
but it also has dedicated apps for smart TVs, routers
and even Amazon Firestick.
With that said, ViperVPN doesn't have a Linux app
or browser extensions.
That's something to keep in mind.
And now I wanna mention something
ViperVPN claims to be the best at combating censorship.
ViperVPN developed their own technology,
the Chameleon protocol.
This protocol allows your connection to bypass
even the harshest censorship,
including countries like China.
Protected by the Chameleon protocol,
you would be able to avoid any governmental censorship.
ViperVPN really does live up to its reputation
of being the most vehement anti-censorship VPN service.
They take your comfort very seriously as well
providing very good customer support.
You can contact them by email, but most often
you'd be better off using the 24/7 live chat
that will answer any of your questions regarding ViperVPN.
And if you are more into self-learning,
there's an FAQ section on the website
that contains a lot of helpful guides
and ViperVPN tutorials.
And finally, when it comes to price,
ViperVPN starts off slow.
Monthly subscription will cost you around $13
which is quite a lot.
But this price goes down a lot as well.
Even the annual plan is already almost $4 a month.
While the two year plan goes to below $2 per month.
Even with five devices limit,
this is still a very good price, rivaling, even Surfshark.
I briefly mentioned some of the disadvantages
of ViperVPN before, but to summarize it
ViperVPN doesn't offer anonymous payment methods.
At the same time, it has some modest server grid
only decent speeds and doesn't have browser extensions
or a Linux app.
But just to be fair, I'm going to compare ViperVPN
with two of the best VPNs on the market right now.
Let's start with ViperVPN versus NordVPN.
This service is known for its stellar speed
and yes ViperVPN is not nearly as fast.
And the server list of NordVPN
surpasses ViperVPN almost eight fold.
Security wise NordVPN and Viper VPN
are on a similar ground however.
When it comes to privacy,
NordVPN is just slightly better
since it provides you with a chance to pay anonymously.
Using cryptocurrencies is super nice.
It is however, just a bit more expensive than ViperVPN.
Now what about ViperVPN versus XpressVPN?
Right off the bat,
I have to highlight that ViperVPN is much cheaper.
On the other hand, XpressVPN has more servers
and seems a bit faster.
Security and privacy wise
XpressVPN and ViperVPN are mostly similar.
However, it has to be mentioned
that ViperVPN owns all of its server unlike XpressVPN.
Overall, ViperVPN 2021 is slightly
less impressive than NordVPN
but it has a lot to offer as well.
