FlyVPN review and features

FlyVPN is a VPN client of the same name service, which will allow you to hide your real IP address in the network and get access to sites that are inaccessible in your country/region. Like the vast majority of VPN services, FlyVPN is a paid service. Tariffs for the use of servers can be found on the official website.

There is, of course, a variant of free subscription, but it puts very strict restrictions on the time the user can work with servers and the number of possible connections from one IP. However, even when using a free subscription, you can choose the country of the server yourself. Not all such services provide such an opportunity.

There are so many countries available in FlyVPN that developers even had to "partition" the server according to the geographical location. Germany, Turkey, South Africa, Japan, India, the US, and more countries are available there. This significant server network ensures the ability to avoid and bypass any restrictions in any country.

Connection to the server in the client is almost instantaneous. All you need to do is select the one you want from the list and press the "Connect" key. VPNs can be used for all applications that use the network, only those that are selected or all but those that are selected. Configuring the VPN protocol is also possible. After connecting to the server, FlyVPN opens the console with information about various operations, connection status, and data volume. The program uses very little RAM and minimizes the CPU load. In general, it will be comfortable to use even on the weakest computers.

FlyVPN is a mid-tier Virtual Private Network service that is pleasant to use daily for most purposes. It allows torrenting on its servers, has enough speed to play popular games such as Fortnite, PUBG, CS, and many others, among other things, and allows you to unblock subscription services for streaming and watching your favorite content that is not available in your country. And more. The service includes built-in features that only simplify Internet use and security. You can read more about them in our article.

1. Unlimited traffic.

2. Websites and services unblock in one simple click.

3. Bypass censorship.

4. AES-256 technology to ensure protection.

5. 24-hour support.

6. Locations all around the world.

7. User-friendly interface and quick installation.

FlyVPN collected some of the best features you can think of to make using the service easier:

• Kill Switch
  When the VPN connection drops, the Kill Switch feature prevents leaks and immediately stops your traffic.

• Torrenting support
  FlyVPN does not block P2P traffic on its servers, so you are free to download content from Pirate Bay.

• Strong encryption
  Be protected by AES-256, which is used in banking and military systems in excellent combination with other protocols.

• Mobile applications support
  On-the-go protection is a very important thing nowadays since every user can sometimes connect to public Wi-Fi or go on a trip.

• Money-back guarantee
  If you are not sure about FlyVPN, there is no problem with returning money in a 30-day period after purchase. Just write the message in the customer care chat or email, and that is it. 

• DNS Leak Protection
  FlyVPN Tower can defend you from any threats and will ensure no DNS leaks are possible while you are surfing the internet.

Unlike other services, FlyVPN shows very low speeds; the difference in Internet bandwidth on servers between an average VPN service and FlyVPN is so huge that if you use 100 Mbps Internet, you will experience a slowdown, let alone downloading heavy files and watching 4K content.

It`s just a terrible experience when you`ve paid 5 or 10 dollars for a paid VPN service, so this is a red flag that you should pay attention to.

The starting point for our tests will be Thessaloniki, Greece.
A service called Speedtest will help us with this.

Quick reminders:
Ping — time in ms required to transfer data from you to the server. — Lower is better, higher is worse. 
Download — speed of downloading data from (!) the Internet. — Lower is worse, higher is better.
Upload — speed of data upload to (!) the Internet. — Lower is worse, higher is better.

Genuinely speaking, 1,540+ servers in 40 countries is a good server network for a service like FlyVPN since it is not that famous and significant. It has servers worldwide, which makes it a helpful service for everyone since you will definitely find one close to you; more importantly, FlyVPN has servers in countries where regional prices are meager, so you will even save money. 

Another thing is that this service could be more suitable for users who are used to having high-speed optical Internet since the average speed on the servers is simply meager compared to what we see in other services.

FlyVPN is an almost transparent service and tells everyone which data the service collects, and we are glad to see this. As an ordinary user, you are almost entirely protected by the shield that FlyVPN provides. It does not sell user data or disclose personal information to the government.

But there are some noticeable holes in the FlyVPN Privacy Policy; for example - "Limited technical information for server performance" could be data about your PC and Network. It is just strange to see this wording in the document.

SERVICE COLLECTS:

1. Email address for account creation, communication, and transaction-related emails.
2. Payment data when completing transactions through third-party processors.
3. Limited technical information for server performance, customer service, and app troubleshooting.
4. Information about installed apps on Android devices.
5. Cookies are used to optimize user experience and language settings and generate statistical reports.
6. Mobile identifiers for statistics related to marketing channels and advertising partners.

SERVICE DOES NOT COLLECT:

1. IP addresses.
2. Browsing history.
3. Personally identifying information beyond what is necessary for the stated purposes.
4. Information outside of FlyVPNs domains through cookies.
5. Personal data of individuals under the age of 18 without parental supervision.

To be honest, FlyVPN is an expensive VPN compared to other services. This doesn’t work at all with the speeds the service provides and the average privacy policy. We note that there are services that provide much more excellent features, bandwidth, and a more transparent No-Log policy.

Below is a table with prices for the service:

• During holidays or sales, the service offers discounts so you can save quite a lot of money on them

Many payment options are available: credit and debit cards, PayPal, MyCard, Bitcoin, and more.

FlyVPN does not limit the possibility of P2P downloading and torrenting in general, and in addition, provides good security, but everything collapses after we pay attention to the speed tests - they are very sad if you use the Internet at a speed of 100 Mbps or more you will feel a big slowdown.

FlyVPN is a rather exciting service, and everything would be great if it didn`t ask so much for itself because it has almost nothing to give in return. Yes, it will protect you from most threats, hide your IP address, and allow you to connect via a tunnel to anywhere in the world, but this pales compared to what other services provide for the money.

Remember that our tests clearly indicated that the service limits the speed very much, which will be a red flag for many users. The privacy policy could be smaller and more transparent, but we`re also disappointed to see some strange mentions of user data that the service might not have collected.
