Azire VPN

AzireVPN needs a lot of improvements in its security features and protocols. The VPN doesn’t have advanced security features like Kill-switch or port-forwarding, which are essential to prevent data leaks and help in safe torrenting.

Besides, Azire uses top-notch security protocols like OpenVPN and WireGuard to protect customers’ data. All its traffic is encrypted with AES-256 encryption, considered the best cipher for any protocol.

Moreover, the service also uses IPv6 support which helps in avoiding any IP, DNS, or WebRTC leaks.

AzireVPN’s android app uses WireGuard as its standard protocol. Whereas for other systems like macOS, iOS, and Linux, you have to manually select the protocol to get your data protected through this tunnel. Overall, AzireVPN uses basic privacy-enhancing features but needs to develop a more credible portfolio in terms of security.

AzireVPN provides a mediocre speed ratio to its users. Like most VPNs, it delivers fast speeds on local servers but is considerably less impressive on far-away servers. The VPN slightly drops its speed to about 6% on local servers when downloading. It is an above-par number and is enough for fast 4K streaming, gaming, or browsing.

On the other hand, when connected to distant servers like USA or UK, you might experience 50% to 60% drops in speeds. That means you would face buffering in streaming content, lags in gaming, and time-consuming browsing. Generally, if speed is your main priority, you should look for another VPN in the market.

Servers

Despite operating in the industry for over a decade, AzireVPN still underperforms regarding server locations. It has only 67 servers expanded to 17+ countries and 20 locations. 

However, limited servers have proven to be more beneficial for AzireVPN. It owns all of its hardware, including metal dedicated servers which means the service provider uses no virtual rented servers. The VPN’s technical experts personally install the hardware in the desired location.

Having such a small server network, AzireVPN has been unreliable in streaming content in the past. However, it can unlock Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, Hulu, and Disney+. Due to the limited range of IP addresses, it would be an unreliable option to consider AzireVPN for streaming.

AzireVPN can be an overwhelming choice for torrenting. Although, it supports P2P traffic on all of its servers. But due to the lack of advanced security features like Kill-switch and Port-forwarding, it would be a naïve approach to consider AzireVPN for torrenting.

AzireVPN has a mediocre after-sales service. It doesn’t provide 24/7 live chat help, which brings it down against the top-notch VPNs in the market. However, it has email support for the users for direct contact with the technical team. FAQs option also helps to encounter general problems faced by the users. While other Online Resources include Set-up guides and more basic options for support. Overall, the customer support of AzireVPN is detailed and helpful but requires more improvement.
