Server Count

“2/2.1269.jpg” Perfect privacy introduces a very small network of servers. It makes up for this somewhat by offering dedicated servers that deliver reliable performance. Our Rating: 3/10. Server Count Info Server Number 55 Location Number 55 24 Specific Cities Selection YES Unlimited Switching YES There are a total of 55 servers distributed across 24 countries. There is real-time info on what kind of performance each server can expect before you connect in terms of ping and bandwidth available. And since this is a ‘ smaller ‘ VPN, excellent user-per-server ratio can be predicted. And finally, Perfect Privacy gives you the ability to connect to specific cities and you can switch without limitations between different servers.

Ease of Use

“2/2.1270.jpg” We’re sure the first time you launch this VPN you’ll be surprised. Rather than offering a highly polished UI, Perfect Privacy looks like ‘ old school ‘ something you’d have seen 10 + years ago. This does not mean however that its UI is difficult to navigate, so let’s explain everything. The home screen provides a list of filtered servers in alphabetic order. You can see the ping value of their country / city of origin and available bandwidth for each server available. There’s also a right-hand button to connect. Connecting takes just a few seconds, and you can review a detailed log while your session is active. “2/2.1271.jpg” Take a look at the bottom of its UI to dive deeper into customizing Perfect Privacy. That’s where you can quit or minimize a ping test running the application and most importantly that’s where you can access its settings. So let’s go over what options are available here. Great privacy settings: The first tab lets you enter your credentials and choose from the two VPN protocols available (IPSec and OpenVPN). Explanations of what to expect from each of these are nicely written. “2/2.1274.jpg” We must say we are surprised by the level of customization that this VPN brings with it. You can truly fine-tune any single option that is something advanced users will love. Even though Perfect Privacy doesn’t have the most polished UI it is still easy to use.

Media Streaming Torrenting Support

Perfect Privacy should not be your media streaming pick, because it can not unblock any of the popular streaming services. Torrenting is however fully supported. Our Rating: Score 2/10. One of the main reasons VPNs are popular is their ability to unblock streaming media services. We have tested Perfect Privacy with the most popular services in the world so here’s what you need to know. Media Streaming Torrenting Support Netflix US NO BBC iPlayer NO Amazon Prime Video NO YES Perfect Privacy (as its name implies) is clearly not focused on streaming media. The primary focus of this VPN is instead the privacy and protection of your sensitive data. With this said we are not surprised that services such as Netflix Hulu BBC iPlayer and Prime Video are outside the reach of this VPN. Knowing there are online reports about Perfect Privacy being able to unblock Netflix is important. Those reports, however, are several years old which means the battle was lost for good. If this is a deal breaker we advise you to check out the best media streaming VPNs. Let’s not forget to mention Perfect Privacy supports torrenting entirely. This VPN does not impose any limitations and all protocols supported by VPNs are in play. You can even go for the port forwarding in order to take full advantage of P2P traffic.

Media Streaming Torrenting Support

“2/2.1276.jpg” By using the latest digital security standards Perfect Privacy always keeps your data protected. There is no logging of any kind, either. Our Score: “10/10. To see what kind of data protection this VPN offers, we’re going to inspect its logging policy for protocols and we’re going to finish this section with a DNS leak examination.Perfect Privacy makes it clear they are not collecting your private data. Their privacy policy says they use strongly encrypted RAM disks which make it impossible to actively store any data on hard drives. Instead their servers are only used to carry data without keeping any of them. Perfect Privacy established in 2008 has a long history of keeping its clients safe. There are no data leaks that would cause distrust in the past or in any other situation. We conclude with all that said that you can use this VPN without having to worry about your personal data.

DNS Leak Test

“2/2.1277.jpg” We can say that Perfect Privacy is absolutely safe to use after a DNS leak test. Anyone who reads your web-based IP address will only see your virtual IP-assigned by the VPN. This means it’s near impossible to get to your true location or any type of information that might reveal who you are.

Speed

Perfect Privacy averaged 36 per cent of our Web connection speed. That’s not terribly bad-but it’s not the best out there as well. Our Rating: 7/10. We check the performance of each VPN by carrying out speed tests of its secure connections. We connect to both nearby and remote servers for this purpose, and draw conclusions by looking at individual speed tests. To establish baseline data, we will first calculate the speed of our Web connection. “2/2.1279.jpg” Figure 1 The performance of our Web connection ‘ naked ‘ We do have a web connection of 150Mbps. However, achieving that sort of result can be difficult in the real world as some typical loss occurs. We checked our speed without enabling the VPN and we got 144.7 Mbps for downloads, and 8.81 Mbps for uploads. Figure 2 A nearby Server performance. Next we found a server in our immediate vicinity, in Zurich (Switzerland). The speed test we did gave us 80.39 Mbps for downloading, and 7.11 Mbps for uploading. We must say we are somewhat disappointed with this result as we expected a better performance. “2/2.1281.jpg” Figure 3-Remote server performance. It is now time to connect to a remote server. We connected to a US server and got 104.09 Mbps for download and 4.47 Mbps for upload. Curiously enough, this server has given us better performance than the one nearby. Upload Speed Speed Reduction Baseline Speed 144.7 Mbps 8.81 Mbps 4.47 Mbps 28.1% We conclude that Perfect Privacy has slowed our web connection by an average of 36 percent. This is not a terrible result but note that many VPNs can bring faster velocities.

Customer Support “2/2.1282.jpg” Unfortunately the official website has no live-chat. You can however rely on tickets to support emails and you can even use TeamViewer. Our Rating: 9/10. Perfect Privacy has developed an integral support system. Although you will not find an option for live chat, there are other (equally helpful) ways to get help. Here’s a quick overview: Email support: by writing an email, you can directly contact the company’s support agents. Overall expect to receive a response within 48 hours. However in most cases it will take 24 hours. Ticket form: You can also submit an official support ticket, similar to the way the previous support channel works. We believe this method receives equal attention as emails, so expect to take up to 48 hours to receive any response. TeamViewer: This is a nice surprise here, finally. You can set up a TeamViewer session, and in real time have support agents working with you. This genuinely demonstrates that Perfect Privacy is willing to go the extra mile to help its clients.

Pricing

“2/2.1283.jpg” This VPN has revised its pricing structure recently. The new changes aren’t that dramatic though as this is still one of the least affordable VPN services. Total price per month Savings: $12.99 0 percent for 1 month 6 months $65.95 $10.99Please note, lastly, that there is a money-back period of 7 days. So in case you decide to try this VPN and change your mind afterwards, you can easily ask for your money back.
