Stream VPN

StreamVPN provides industry-standard security features and protocols. All the data traffic is routed through the most secure OpenVPN and IKEv2 protocols and is backed by AES-256 military-grade encryption. However, protocols vary depending on the device you use. Windows and macOS apps use the safest OpenVPN; IOS is on IKEv2, which is also pretty well. Lastly, the Android app uses L2TP, which is outdated and needs to be replaced soon.

The service also includes the vital Kill switch feature, which is essential to protect your IP address from being exposed in case the VPN connection drops. StreamVPN is also immune to any DNS, IP, or WebRTC leaks.

StreamVPN works below expectations when it comes to speeds. The service is slow on both local and international servers. Despite being a streaming-focused VPN, it won’t be able to provide high-quality streaming content due to slow speeds.

The VPN, on average, drops around 50% to 55% speeds on nearby servers. That means you should expect buffering while streaming content or browsing activities. Latency is also terrible using StreamVPN, exceeding up to 50ms ping times, making it an unreliable option for gaming.

On the international servers, the service drops more than 80% speed, which would barely stream any video without buffering. Overall, you could experience unsatisfactory speeds for different activities using StreamVPN.

StreamVPN has a tiny server network of 120 servers in just 12 countries. Most of the servers are located in Europe; apart from these, only the US and Australia possess some servers. Although, the VPN’s sole purpose is to allow streaming from specific countries. Thus, it makes sense to have a limited server network.

The service performs brilliantly in streaming content. It can access powerful platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, and more. It also has a TV Guide on its website with complete information on streaming services you can enjoy from the UK, the US, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, France, Italy, and Germany.

P2P activities are, however, blocked on all VPN servers. Also, unnecessary logging practices and slow speeds aren’t favourable for downloading large files.

After being an underperforming VPN in all areas, StreamVPN has some responsive and helpful customer support. The essential 24/7 live chat feature isn’t provided, however. Instead, VPN offers several other features for users’ help and support.

StreamVPN has an online ticketing system which is pretty fast. They address your queries within minutes and are very helpful. Support Forums regarding troubleshooting and installation guides on different devices and operating networks are also offered by the VPN. Lastly, VPN’s official website lets users reach out to the FAQs page. They can find all the essential information and problem-solving answers with just one click.

StreamVPN isn’t the cheapest VPN service. Its monthly plan is quite expensive, given the downfalls. However, its longer pricing plans are pleasing to customers but require commitment.
