FastestVPN review and features

FastestVPN is the ultimate virtual private network available on the web today. Whether we like to admit it or not, we have a lot of people keeping an eye on what we are doing online. This goes from petty hackers to corporations to governments. FastestVPN allows users to browse the web privately like we were meant to. With FastestVPN, you no longer need to worry about who is looking at your activities online. 

FastestVPN is compatible with over twenty different devices. From phones to tablets and computers, FastestVPN can accommodate them all. It also allows up to ten devices to connect at once. I have never had that many devices connected at once, but it`s a nice option if I ever find myself in a situation where I would need that. What impresses me the most about FastestVPN is its use of AES 256-bit Encryption. For those who don`t know, this is military-grade encryption software that is trusted by security professionals around the world. In addition, I am extremely impressed that if FastestVPN thinks your connection has been compromised for any reason, it will disconnect immediately, protecting your privacy.

If you use public Wi-Fi like me, this will be a major benefit for you. FastestVPN will turn your public Wi-Fi connection into a secure connection due to its NAT firewall. This firewall blocks malicious incoming traffic like invasive advertisements, popups, and malware. The smart connect option is also pretty cool. It will connect to the best servers instantly without me needing to find it. FastestVPN is, by far, the best VPN software I have used in years. I`d highly recommend it to anyone worried about their internet privacy.

Fastest VPN is one of many applications that allows users to use a private tunnel service, with which they can easily bypass blocks and take advantage of other locations, for example, to purchase a subscription. Every VPN is unique, and Fastest is no exception, as it contains good data protection features and has an acceptable server network worldwide.

1. P2P Optimized Servers.

2. Unlimited bandwidth.

3. No-Logs certified.

4. Mobile protection.

5. Up to 10 connections.

6. 99.9% uptime.

7. 24/7 support via Live chat.

Fastest VPN has a good set of features:

• AES 256-Bit Encryption
  Bank-grade encryption will encrypt your traffic so that no hacker can decipher it.

• Kill Switch
  This feature is currently not working, but the developers are already working on it. It will turn off your internet if your connection drops while connected to the VPN.

• Split tunneling
  Decide which applications will use the VPN connection and which will not.

• WireGuard, OpenVPN, and IKEv2 protocols
  The best protocols are already built into FastestVPN and stay protected even with high connection speeds.

• DNS Leak Protection
  No data leaks because the developers patched all the holes in your protection.

• AdBlocker
  Ads on websites will no longer catch your eye while using a VPN.
  

Ironically, Fastest VPN turned out to be not the fastest VPN out of several dozen that we tested. What immediately catches your eye is that the upload speed is very limited, which is a sign that Fastest VPN does not use the best servers in its arsenal. Moreover, speeds vary slightly between different servers, so you must choose the best one to get the best speed. The results are on your screens, and we’d rather talk about what can be achieved with such Internet speed - acceptable torrenting, regular Internet surfing, viewing 4K content, and much of what you do on the Internet. Unfortunately, the service has not confirmed the title of the fastest; this title will remain with industry leaders such as Nord VPN and Express VPN.

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.

Fastest VPN has servers on all continents, about 800 in 49 countries. Any blocking will not be able to withstand so many countries because if some resource is blocked, then it is not a problem to use a server in Switzerland to bypass it and gain access to the information that is important to you. By the way, no one has forgotten about saving money because subscriptions in some countries are several times cheaper than in the USA or Europe.

As for the speed on these servers, yes, some of them support speeds up to 10Gbps, but their number is extremely small, and if you choose any unpopular location, the speed will be much lower than on high-speed servers.

Fastest VPN`s privacy policy could be much smaller and more transparent, but some wording tells us that the service is hiding something. "Country details for specific queries" sounds very strange, and it can hide much more than just information about the country, for example, your IP address. If we do not consider this, the privacy policy is generally not bad but could be more precise and smaller.

Fastest VPN offers three plans to purchase: a lifetime plan, a one-year plan, and a one-month plan. The price itself is meager, judging by everything that the service offers. By the way, it’s not always worth paying attention to the fact that some services offer you a subscription for life because this is already a proven and failed method of monetization, and you are in no way protected if the service closes.

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 and Crypto.

Fastest VPN is good, but it is far from the best service for torrenting. It supports P2P downloads on most servers, with the exception of Australia, India, South Korea, and a couple of other unpopular countries. It provides modern protocols and strong encryption; let us also mention the No-Log policy, which, although not the most transparent, we can say that the service has it.

Fastest VPN is a fairly average service that, although it offers protection and modern protocols, has servers with different speeds, and the privacy policy is not one hundred percent transparent. As a rule, VPN services with a lifetime subscription option are somehow cheating because this business model was recognized as unviable, which is why most services do not provide such a plan. Instead of Fastest VPN, we can recommend the inexpensive PureVPN or the more secure Nord VPN since we have already reviewed them, and you can find them in our column of articles about VPNs.
