SwitchVPN review and features

The most reliable friends in today`s world of restrictions and blocking are VPN services. SwitchVPN offers connection through a secure tunnel, which is located in another country and, therefore, in another jurisdiction. This complex design for the legal system allows you to protect yourself not only online but also in the legal field.

Reliable protection and encryption will leave no chance for those who need your data, and a reliable privacy policy will tell you that it will not save your actions in logs. What else do you need to protect yourself? Hundreds of servers in 43 countries on several continents will allow you to use the service even while traveling because we all know how dangerous it is to use public Wi-Fi.

VPN is not just a private tunnel; in addition, you get access to many functions and open the door to the world of free Internet. You get many functions and settings where you can choose a protocol to protect yourself using Kill Switch and much more. What about torrenting? Many countries prohibit downloading and using pirated content, but VPN solves this problem - it will hide your traffic from prying eyes and will also transfer you to a completely different country.

SwitchVPN is an unpopular VPN service that offers its clients a secure connection to hundreds of servers around the world via a private tunnel. It takes the privacy of surfing the Internet to a new level, where your data is only and exclusively your data, and not other sites or your Internet provider. Your security is SwitchVPN`s priority, and they offer a variety of protocols and strong encryption. Our goal is to examine the service from all sides and conclude whether it really is a good security tool, and also compare it with other popular services.

1. Internet Freedom.

2. Up to 6 devices support.

3. AES-256 encryption.

4. Global Server Network.

5. Reliable protection.

6. Public Wi-Fi protection.

7. 24/7 Customer Support.

SwitchVPN has modest features, but even they will secure your connection:

• No Log VPN
  The service does not record your every move, which means you do not bear any risks when using it.

• OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP, SSTP, IKEv2 Protocols
  Users have the opportunity to choose the best protocol from the list for the best protection.

• Kill Switch
  Protect yourself from possible leaks because sometimes your Internet connection can be unstable.

• Port Forwarding
  Reliability and protection when torrenting are taken to a new level with this feature.

• IP and DNS Leak Protection
  Be sure that no one will ever know your real IP address because the SwitchVPN developers have patched all the holes.

We tested Switch VPN, and the results were disappointing, to put it mildly. Most of the servers turned out to be inaccessible to OpenVPN, including almost all European countries. The speed itself, even when using OpenVPN, turned out to be quite low if we take other VPN services, such as NordVPN, as an example. Still, we recommend it, because with it you will not get problems that you will spend a lot of time solving.

         

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.


Thessaloniki, Greece - No VPN

London, United Kingdom, VPN enabled

Miami, FL, United States, VPN enabled

The service provides many locations for use, specifically 43 countries, with the support of 250 servers. Average if we are talking about not very popular VPN services. But keep in mind that many of these points simply work on outdated protocols, which will not give you the speed you want and certainly will not provide impressive protection. Yes, you can get an IP from another country, but with some conditions that SwitchVPN puts you under.

In general, Switch VPN`s privacy policy does not raise any questions, except for the Web Server Log, but this can be equated to simple maintenance logs. But one thing is for sure - this is a No Log VPN, but unfortunately, it has not passed any audits, which is not surprising - the service is quite small.

SERVICE COLLECTS:

1. Email address for sign-up and customer correspondence.
2. Payment Data for processing payments.
3. Email address for Live Chat support.
4. Anonymous Non-Personally Identifiable Information for Google Analytics (pages visited, geographical location, etc.).
5. Web server log (Nginx).

SERVICE DOES NOT COLLECT:

1. Any traffic or use data of the VPN service or Proxy.

It’s a stretch, but you can call SwitchVPN a budget service. It doesn`t ask for very much, but at the same time, PureVPN can be purchased for half the price. Or NordVPN for the same price. Every user looking for a service for permanent use is faced with the question, “Support a small company and get ten times less than buying a VPN from a large company for the same price?” It is in our interests that readers receive maximum comfort and protection from the use of VPNs.

Below is a table with prices for the service:

Many payment options are available: credit and debit cards, PayPal, UnionPay, and Crypto.

SwitchVPN has official support for torrenting, which means that every client can enjoy pirated content. Or not? Judging by user reviews, many people are experiencing problems with the service, such as their connection dropping out during a very slow download or a file simply not opening after a successful download. In fact, it’s easier to look at competitors and understand that even cheaper services do not have such many strange problems.

SwitchVPN, in theory, could be a very good service since it has everything, including good features and the OpenVPN protocol, but in practice, we can only see how all this pales against the background of other services and the many bugs that all users without exceptions. SwitchVPN could easily be the best of the less popular services. Still, the many bugs speak for themselves - you`re better off choosing other popular services to save yourself the hassle of finding a solution to problems and getting a lot of other features. For example,  NordVPN, for the same price, will offer you top features that will certainly hide your information trail.
