VPNSecure Hands-On Review by TechNadu
All our VPN reviews come in a uniform structure. We start by checking some background information, and then test the software itself. If you would like to learn how we are reviewing VPNs please use the link provided. Background Jurisdiction Reputation vpnsecure
“2/2.1940.jpg” comes with an interesting past. It is now based in Hong Kong, from Australia. Allegations were also made regarding possible data leaks. Our Rating: 3/10. We’ll check where does VPNSecure come from to start things properly. This has numerous legal implications so we think this information is crucial. VPNSecure is made by a company called VPNSecure Pty Ltd founded in Australia in 2010. There are many reasons why this is problematic so we’re going to try and explain the whole situation. First of all Australia, along with the USA New Zealand Canada and the United Kingdom, is a member of the 5-Eyes Alliance. What began in the 1940s as an intelligence alliance is now a network of countries with strong laws regarding mass surveillance. Aside from collecting various types of data (even illegally as some advocates for privacy claim) this group circumvents the laws protecting their own citizens. In other words, we have no way of knowing whether and in what way data controllers and data processors (such as VPN services) are forced to collect data from their users. It is also worth knowing that Australia is struggling with pirated contentordering ISPs to block websitescertain IPTV providers have blocked numerous controversial torrent websites. This is a special Chinese Administrative Region (SAR) when it comes to Hong Kong. It’s important to say Hong Kong does not share its own laws with China. Most importantly, there are no laws regarding data retention that allow VPNSecure to avoid logging any data. However this change is recent and it will take time to see whether to trust this VPN.
Previous Data Leaks
In an academic paper dealing with Android VPN apps, VPNSecure was mentioned while back. According to this report, it has been discovered that VPNSecure leaks IPv6 and DNS requests which put all your private data at risk of exposure. What is even more worrying is that VPNSecure was accused of creating a P2P-like network without their knowledge, using its users as endpoints. Platform compatibility for Windows MacOS Linux desktop platforms. Desktop IOS Mobile Platforms. Google Chrome (Proxy with HTTP). Routers DD-WRT Open-WRT Tomato AsusWRT, and more. Other Appliances N / A. If you prefer to use a VPN within your browser please note that the only supported browser is Google Chrome. Also note that this is only a proxy and not a fully featured VPN. This means we suggest downloading the full VPN program at all times first. Installing VPNSecure on a router also helps you to encrypt a number of devices at once. OpenVPN keys and configuration files are readily accessible for all servers offered by this VPN. Don’t forget you’ll find a range of installation guides to help you along the way. Finally, please note that VPNSecure supports up to 5 connections simultaneously but only when each device is connected to a different server. If you attempt to connect on two devices to the same server one of those connections will be shut down.
Installation Initial Configuration “2/2.1942.jpg” We didn’t like our phone number needed to complete the process of signing up. Other than that the process of installation is rather typical. Our Rating: 8/10. During a 30-day trial (which comes in a very limited way), VPN secure allows you to try its services. You need to purchase a VPNSecure subscription which is done on its official website to fully unlock this application. You’ll be asked for your e-mail address and payment details during this process. And then you will need to check your phone number which is something that we don’t often see. You will only be able to proceed with downloading the application after you verify your identity. “2/2.1943.jpg” Select your desired platform and then access the corresponding code. Then run the installer, and continue as you would normally. You will be asked where to save the files during the installation and that is pretty much it. No product packages or bundled apps are available which is always good to see. In the end, you will see the log-in screen for the program. Enter your username and password and from there you’ll be able to use that application. VPNSecure is a fairly basic VPN provider with prominent features
“2/2.1944.jpg” It does not support IPv6 yet no ad-blocking scanning or split-tunneling of malware. Our Rating: 5/10. We’ve come up with a checklist of essential features to successfully compare different VPNs. Let’s see if that set of criteria meets VPNSecure.Ad-Blocker Anti-Malware NO Unlimited Server Switches YES Unlimited Bandwidth Unlimited Data YES By looking at the table above one thing becomes clear-VPNSecure is a relatively basic VPN service. To secure your identity it uses protection against DNS leakage. It still does not support IPv6 however and advises you to completely disable this protocol. It’s also worth knowing that if your safe link is unreliable for any reason, there is a kill-switch designed to prevent leakages. You won’t find those here when it comes to more advanced features. There is no ad-blocking and there are no specialized tools for detecting and deleting malware. Split-tunneling is not part of the deal of this VPN, either. This means that VPNSecure will disappoint more advanced users looking for a higher level of fine-tuning. Last but not least we’d like to say that paid subscriptions come with no limitations at least in terms of server bandwidth and data switching. Just remember that you can use this VPN at the same time on several devices, unless you want to connect on two devices to the same server. Server Count
“2/2.1945.jpg” VPNSecure does not bring the smallest server network we have seen yet but it is very close to that group of VPN services. Our Score: Score 2/10. Going for a VPN with lots of servers gives you the much-needed freedom of connecting to different parts of the world. Besides having a server nearby you typically get faster performance. Server Number 80 + Location Number 80 + Country Specific Cities Selection YES / NO Unlimited switching YES As you can see VPNSecure currently offers more than 80 + secure servers. This might sound like a lot but know that VPNs like ExpressVPNNordVPN frequently offer between 3000 and 5000 servers with new units added. As you can see, VPNSecure is unable to compete with those well-known VPN brands, and is also quite restrictive. VPNSecure presents a list of countries and servers on launch. To connect you can click on any of those, and the application will do the rest of the job. You will see a prominent status bar at the top at any moment, which lets you know if you are connected to a server or not. There’s a panel called ‘ Show Status ‘ at the bottom which presents three types of information. You can see your current IP address and location (updated as you start using the VPN) and see when your subscription is due to expire. “2/2.1947.jpg” As noted earlier, VPNSecure doesn’t tell you exactly where its server is located. Instead, just click on any of those you want to connect. There’s no way to make a favorites list but there’s a list of servers that have been used recently. Once you decide to disconnect from a server, your decision must be confirmed by clicking on its name and that’s about it. “2/2.1948.jpg” There’s a hamburger button in the top-left corner to check out other options. Four options are available here so let’s explain what each of those can do. “2/2.1949.jpg” Settings: This is where you can find a fairly simple set of options. You can instruct VPNSecure to fix leaks by saving your IPv6 username and password, and choosing from different types of encryption. You can also change the application language and enable ‘ Stealth VPN ‘ for countries which come with strong anti-VPN measures. Support: You can use this tab to request a support ticket in times when you are facing a problem. You can enter your email contact to explain the problem that you have and send a log file along with your message. “2/2.1950.jpg” Logout: And now, we have the option to log out. Good self-explanatory right?
Media Streaming Torrenting Support
“2/2.1951.jpg” Sadly VPNSecure isn’t the best media streaming solution since it can’t unblock any of the popular services. It does however support torrenting. Our Rating: Score 2/10. Online sharing help Netflix US NO Hulu NO Amazon Prime Video NO Torrenting (P2P) YESVPNSecure does an admirable job as regards keeping you safe online. It comes with strong encryption protocols and VPN, and has no DNS data leakage. Our Score: “10/10. The primary goal of any VPN is to keep your private data safe online. This is done via different types of encryption and VPN protocols. So lets see what kind of protection VPNSecure brings and if you can count on this VPN to keep you safe online.
Supported Encryption Protocols
In terms of VPN protocols VPNSecure supports OpenVPN PPTP and SSH SOCKS. Among those we recommend using OpenVPN if possible as this is considered to be the most secure protocol available.
Logging Policy
On its official website this VPN says that it doesnt collect any of your data. This means that your IP address connection timestamps bandwidth used and DNS requests are not logged all of which seems very reassuring. When it comes to whats collected this includes your username password and email (and you dont have to use your personal information). Its also good to know that VPNSecure according to its own claims has no technical means to identify users based on DMCA notices.
DNS Leak Test
“2/2.1953.jpg” To ensure that no data is actively leaking weve done a DNS leak test. As evident from the screenshot above this VPN passed the test with flying colors. Once connected to a secure server you receive a set of virtual parameters such as a new IP hostname ISP and country. This means that third-parties online will get to read that information only and not your true information and location. Speed Performance
“2/2.1954.jpg” VPNSecure performs well. There are VPNs that come with better speeds but VPNSecure is above the average nonetheless. Our Score: 8/10. You must be wondering what kind of performance you can expect? To answer that question weve done a series of speed tests across different VPNSecure servers. Here are the results. Figure 1 Our baseline stats. We begin by testing the speed of our Web connection as we need some baseline data. This means that we need to calculate the speed of our connection without a VPN involved. As you can see from the screenshot we got 147.78 Mbps for downloads and 9.68 Mbps for uploads. “2/2.1956.jpg” Figure 2 The performance of a nearby VPNSecure server. Then we proceed with connecting to a nearby server. Were located in Europe and found a server in one of our neighboring countries. Once connected we ran a speed test and got 137.72 Mbps for downloads and 8.76 Mbps for uploads. So far so good we have to admit. 147.78 Mbps 9.68 Mbps 0% Nearby Server 137.72 Mbps 6.8% Remote Server 85.51 Mbps 6.86 Mbps 42.1%
Customer Support
“2/2.1958.jpg” Subscribers to this VPN are able to chat with the companys representatives submit official support tickets or review self-help material. Our Score: 9/10. Live Chat: On the official website youll see a live-chat icon. Click on it fill out your contact details and youll get to talk to a customer support agent. Weve used this option a few times and we were happy with it overall. Support Tickets: You can also use the official website (as well as the application itself) to open a support ticket. Enter your contact details explain the problem youre having and expect from the support team to write you back within a few hours. Knowledge Base: Finally theres a series of commonly asked questions and articles. This section also includes installation guides.
Pricing “2/2.1959.jpg” This is a high-priced VPN that could greatly benefit from having its price reduced. Top-rated VPNs come with a similar price but bring more value. Our Score: 5/10. Just like the majority of other VPNs VPNSecure comes with several subscription plans. All of them come with the same features. The only difference is in their duration and price.

Total Price Per Month$8.32 16 percent 12 Months $79.95 $6.66 You’ll need to spend $9.95 on VPNSecure every month if you want to pay on a monthly basis. However, in its long-term plans you will find heavy savings. If you subscribe to VPNSecure you could save up to 33 per cent which should make this VPN interesting for more users. We have to say paying $6.66 a month is somewhat above what top-rated VPNs offer. It’s true that your private data is going to be safe and you will be getting pretty fast speeds. However the competitors of this VPN also offer some advanced features and the ability to unblock websites that stream media. In other words, VPNSecure would gain on value by having its price lowered. You have 90 days to change your mind when it comes to the refunds. Please note that you will only be eligible for the refund once you have contacted support and have gone through troubleshooting.
Do we suggest VPNSecure? “2/2.1960.jpg” Yes-we can recommend VPNSecure but only for a specific user group. By granting you total anonymity, this VPN can truly keep you safe online. The firm’s no-logs policy complements strong encryption and VPN protocols. But if you want to unblock websites (especially media streaming services) or if you’re looking for something more advanced, we’re afraid this VPN isn’t your choice. PROS: Supports different platforms Strong encryption logs Capable VPN protocols Handy customer support Good overall performance. CONS: Problematic past Can’t unblock Netflix Not recommended for streaming media High priced interface somewhat problematic. OUR SCORE: from 10,5.6!

NBEETV: Pirate TV-Box Sellers Shutdown By Local Police
Sellers of NBEETV a pirate TV box were apprehended by police with help from MPAA. Nanny Bee Corporation the manufacturer and seller of NBEETV was run by a couple who marketed their service to offer free TV for life. This blatant marketing tactic coupled with openly available information relating to their business led to a quick shutdown. Piracy related to TV-based content has reached an all-time high. Not only are there illegal streaming options online but a new trend of piracy configured TV boxes have also sprung up. One such set-top box seller is named NBEETV owned by a couple Mickael Cantrell and Nancy Major and advertised to deliver every movie every tv show thats ever been made plus live sports with no blackouts no monthly fees ever. Now this kind of marketing aims to catch the attention of a maximum number of people which it did successfully along with the that of police officers. Detective Darren Hill took notice of NBEETVs offering We saw [the boxes] had Black Panther The Shape Of Water Jumanji was on there as well and was dumbfounded by their unashamed marketing: this is someone blatantly on the side of the road just selling them with signage a storefront advertising on the internet with a website. TunnelBear VPN Review 2020 User-friendly VPN Not able to stream Torrenting
ByNovak Bozovic-January 29 2020 “2/2.1989.jpg” As you already know TunnelBear can often be found among top-recommended VPNs, at least in terms of user-friendliness. It’s easy to see why it’s filled with comedic elements after taking a look at its official website. Presenting a complex technical solution as a simple-to-use one goes a long way. Nevertheless let’s not forget that VPNs need cutting-edge features to protect and secure your data online. With that said we will inspect everything that TunnelBear VPN has to bring. We will be taking a deep dive into its security data leak protection features and unblocking the website. So welcome to our hands-on TunnelBear VPN review! We don’t want to overwhelm you right off the bat with the technical terms. For this reason we have prepared three tables that you will see in this introductory segment. The first one tells you about this VPN’s most important features so take a quick look. Jurisdiction Canada The United States. Logs No personal identifiable information.

TunnelBear VPN Hands-On Review of TechNadu
Background Jurisdiction Reputation
“2/2.1990.jpg” TunnelBear (originally from Canada) is owned by McAfee (USA). In the long run this can be problematic even if there is no logging right now. Our Rating: 3/10.
Jurisdiction Applicable laws
VPNs frequently come from exotic places like Panama or Gibraltar. That’s because those countries don’t force ISPs or other data controllers to collect personal information. With this said if a VPN doesn’t say where it comes from on its official website (or if this information is somewhat hidden), it’s a cause for concern. The organization originates in Canada known for its strict laws. You’ve probably heard about the VPNs of the 5/9/14 Eyes Alliance fight against copyright-infringing pirates. That is one of the reasons why TunnelBear does not allow traffic from P2P.
Supported Platforms TunnelBear can be installed on a handful of devices
“2/2.1991.jpg” There is no support for the Android TV Fire OS or router which is definitely unfortunate. Our Rating: 5/10. MacOS Windows Desktop Platform Compatibility Platform. Mobile IOS Android Platforms. Chrome Opera for Firefox. N / A routers. Some Appliances N / A. There are native apps for the iOS and Android when it comes to mobile platforms. And if you care about Web browser extensions, note that Chrome is supported by Firefox and Opera. And when it comes to the already funded channels, that’s pretty much so. What has to be said is that TunnelBear can not be configured manually on routers. There is also no support for devices such as Android TV Amazon FireOS or the gaming consoles.
Installation Initial Configuration
Installing TunnelBear does not require you to be a genius. This VPN service comes with simple methods of installation across all platforms that it supports. Our Score: “10/10. TunnelBear offers both free and paid accounts. The free one is being heavily limited in terms of bandwidth. To experience everything this VPN has to offer you need to get a TunnelBear subscription. Youll first get to select a plan fill out your personal details and proceed with the payment. Youll also see promo offers for this companys password manager called RememBear. In the end youll be redirected to the page that contains this VPNs native applications allowing you to download the correct version on your device. “2/2.1993.jpg” Weve tested this VPN on our Windows 10 PC where the installation file comes in at around 150MB. Double-click to start the procedure choose an installation directory and youll be all set within a few seconds. TunnelBear will open its log-in screen and youll also see a three-step guide to using it. This is when you can connect to a secure server and enjoy all the benefits it offers.
YES IPv6 Leak Protection NO Kill-Switch YES YES Unlimited Server Switches YES Unlimited Bandwidth YES YES Lets start with the basics. To protect your personal information from leaking TunnelBear includes a DNS leak protection. This is considered to be the standard feature of todays VPNs. Then you should know that theres no IPv6 leak protection. Instead this protocol is disabled by default which means youll have to rely on IPv4 instead. In terms of security this isnt a major downside even though we start to see more VPNs supporting IPv6 via their server networks. When it comes to more advanced features there are two interesting featured called VigilantBear and GhostBear. The first one is actually a kill-switch preventing any leaks while you connect/disconnect or in times when a secure connection becomes compromised for any reason. And when it comes to GhostBear this feature uses obfuscated servers to fight anti-VPN measures. As such this feature is needed in countries with heavy censorship as this is perhaps the only way to overcome obstacles related to restrictive networks. Finally lets not forget that TunnelBear doesnt impose any limitations whatsoever. This means that youll get to switch between different servers at any moment and there are no limitations related to bandwidth or data. Of course were talking about a premium version of this VPN.
“2/2.1995.jpg” TunnelBear hides how many servers it has and you cant even connect to specific locations. We believe its server network to be very limited. Our Score: 2/10. Many VPNs are quick to point out that their server networks are huge. If you cant find this number on a VPNs website this usually means that you can expect a rather small server network. And thats the case with TunnelBear as well. Server Count Info N/A Number of Locations N/A Number of Countries 23User-friendly design comes with Ease of Use
“2/2.1996.jpg” TunnelBear. That’s great for first-timers but it could leave more advanced users wanting a deeper level of control. Our Rating: 7/10. TunnelBear home screen leaves a positive first impression. The largest portion of this screen is a large-sized map. Comedic illustrations will be seen all over, along with a list of countries that will allow you to connect to their servers. Click on any of these and you will be asked to ‘ tunnel ‘ to the country in question. It only takes a few seconds for this connection to become active. Aside from relying only on the map, you can connect to a server in two further ways. There is a prominent ON / OFF toggle, which by default is set to ‘ Automatic. ‘ That means TunnelBear can connect you to the nearest server which should provide the best speeds possible. There is a drop-down menu on the right side of the toggle, with the list of supported countries. If you click on any of those you will be asked again if you wish to ‘ tunnel ‘ to the destination you have chosen. “2/2.1998.jpg” You can click on the ‘ hamburger-style ‘ button at the top-left corner to dive a bit deeper into what this application offers.

Pricing
$9.99 $9.99 0 percent 12 Months $59.88 50% As you can see you can start with TunnelBear for $9.99 a month. After all said in this review we have to say that TunnelBear is a high-priced VPN. Considering that media streaming is out of the question and that in addition to its small server network you can’t download P2P files you can easily find better deal out there. But things change somewhat if we take a look at their 12-month plan. You can subscribe to TunnelBear and save 50 per cent off its regular price to $4.99 a month. This is certainly a more attractive offer although we still wanted it to be more affordable. And you can also pay for TunnelBear through credit cards and Bitcoin. What’s troubling here is the fact that TunnelBear comes with no guarantees for money back. Alternatively, there is a refund policy in place that definitely isn’t convincing.
The reason TunnelBeal has no money-back guarantee is because you can use it for free. You can use TunnelBear for as long as you want by getting a free account-but be prepared to face some limitations. Free Account Premium Account Data Limit Unlimited Server Selection Unlimited Unlimited Speed As you can see the only limitation here is that you’ll get 500 MB of data per month. This is a good way to test-drive this VPN but long-term use of it is not enough. We do appreciate however that this option is offered by TunnelBear.
