PrivadoVPN

The Privado VPN provides pretty basic but well security features and protocols. It uses AES-256 encryption and offers all necessary protocols for secure services like WireGuard, OpenVPN (TCP/UDP), and IKEv2/IPSec. Besides, it provides a classic kill-switch feature that kills your internet connection if it detects a VPN connection drop.

The service also offers the split-tunnelling feature, which lets you decide which apps are protected and blocked by your virtual private network. The VPN uses the SOCKS security feature and isn’t subject to webRTC, IP, or DNS leaks. Privado VPN is relatively safe but lacks advanced features like port-forwarding, Ad-blocker, and more.

Privado VPN is not the fastest but provides above-par speeds on downloading and uploading content. The service records excellent local and international speeds. There is always a significant drop in internet speeds when using a VPN; however, Privado VPN only drops 8% to 10% speeds even in distant locations. That is a fraction slower than the top-rated VPNs but is a viable option.

Privado VPN’s free version is just as fast as the premium version. Despite offering only a few servers in the free version, it streams content and allows gaming without any buffers or lags. Moreover, by using the automatically selected protocols, you will experience faster speeds than manually setting the security protocol.

Privado VPN’s server network is small and expanded to 46 countries and 58 cities. Like the other VPNs, most of the servers operate in Europe, a minority of servers are in the Americas and Asia, and a sprinkle of servers are in Middle-east and South Africa.

The service provider allows streaming, and despite having a small server network, it unblocks many significant sites, including Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, and Disney+. Although, it lacks dedicated servers for streaming. Hence, you’re left to guess which servers work with each streaming platform through time-consuming trial and error.

Privado VPN claims to be a VPN for torrenting. It supports torrenting on all of its servers. The SOCKS for premium subscribers, fast speeds, a safe logging policy, and an automatic kill switch make Privado VPN an excellent choice for torrenting.

Privado’s customer support is not excellent but offers decent helping material for its customers. The VPN doesn’t have a 24/7 live chat feature which is the most important among others. Besides, it hands over FAQs options to address general queries and a Knowledge base for detailed guides to any problem. However, for direct contact, you only have email support and ticket system contact support.

Privado VPN comes with a free version and two subscription plans. The free version is one of the most beneficial for the users. It offers 10GB of data monthly, one connection, and servers in 12 cities only. The paid version offers unlimited data, up to 10 simultaneous connections, and servers in all 58 cities. The other features are included in both of the plans. However, the paid version comes with the following objectives:

• 12-Month Plan costs $4.99/per month; billed $59.88 every 12 months
• 1-Month Plan costs $7.99/per month; billed $7.99 every month

Refund Policy

Among the two pricing plans, only the 12-month deal offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. Otherwise, you can’t ask for a refund if you have purchased a monthly plan.

Privado VPN accepts the following payment methods:

• Credit Card Payments ( Visa, Master Card, Discover, and American Express)
