AnonymousVpn-TechNadu’s Hands-On Analysis
Just as we always launch this analysis by first verifying some background information. We will then direct you through the application itself which ensures there will be plenty to learn. If you want to know how we’re reviewing Vpns you can use the link provided to learn more.Jurisdiction Applicable Legislation
You will see conflicting information when you start researching online about AnonymousVpn. Many websites that feature this service’s older reviews suggest AnonymousVpn comes from Seychelles. This country is known for its data collection oriented laws and policies. But after looking deeper into the terms of use of this Vpn we find it comes from Gibraltar. More specifically this Vpn comes from a company located in Gibraltar, named Gate 100 (Water Gardens Waterport Wharf). It is safe to say that Gibraltar is where AnonymousVpn is currently headquartered, as this company is listed in their legal documents (last updated in February 2016). The country is generally known for lacking compulsory data retention laws. But what worries many is their relation to the UK (as Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory). In comparison, Gibraltarians voted 96 percent in 2016 to remain a part of the EU. This suggested that this country (or more accurately a British Overseas Territory) has strong ties with both the Uk and Eu.
Previous Data Leaks
Any data leaks related to AnonymousVpn are not published online. In addition, there are no records of third-party leveraging vulnerabilities found in this Vpn service which means it comes with an untold credibility. Nonetheless, keep reading this analysis as we have discovered another form of data leak.
.485 Sadly, only a few channels are supported by AnonymousVpn. Windows MacOs and Ios have native apps-and that’s pretty much it. Our Rating: 3/10. Vpns of today come with applications for any conceivable network. Nonetheless, the trick is to find a Vpn that only offers native apps, which ensures that there are no issues with downloading and using them. Let us see if AnonymousVpn fulfills the criteria. MacOs Windows Compatibility Framework. Mobile Android Plateforms. Web browsers N / A Dd-Wrt Tomato Pfsense, and more. Some Appliances N / A. As you can see, AnonymousVpn can’t boast of its native applications. Native programs for Windows and Mac arise when it comes to desktop systems. While Linux is not on this list you can still use this Vpn by manually setting it up. When it comes to mobile devices a native Android app is available. What’s shocking is that users of iOs are left in the dark which is a big letdown. AnonymousVpn will inform you how to manually configure its service which can be done on iOs to provide a solution to this problem. This can never substitute a fully featured iOs Vpn however. If you are using Windows MacOs or Ios, the easy way to install this Vpn is. Other systems require manual handling. Our Rating: 5/10. To order to use AnonymousVpn you need to get a subscription first. This is done on the official website of the Vpn, where you can choose between several subscription plans. You will then need to include your email address, and create a new password. Especially if you would like to use this Vpn ‘ under the radar ‘ you do not need to use your personal email. Then go ahead and complete the payment by entering the required information. .487 The only thing left is to download and install native apps from the Vpn website. We checked this Vpn on our Windows 10 Pc where the whole installation went with no problems. You will see the usual Installation Wizard asking you to pick a directory of destination and a few other choices. The installation will be finished within a few seconds and you’ll be ready to start using the program. When it comes to systems that do not have native AnonymousVpn apps you will need to go through a manual setup. The Vpn’s official web site will help with this. This method can still be very daunting for first-timers so it’s always best to choose a Vpn that is compatible with a wider framework. Prominent features
.488 AnonymousVpn can be your pick if you’re looking for something simple. When it comes to advanced features it leaves a lot to be desired. Our Rating: 5/10. We’ll use this section to test whether AnonymousVpn is a simple Vpn solution or maybe it even provides more advanced options. Check out the table below. Dns Leak Protection Yes Ipv6 Leak Protection No Kill-Switch -Blocker Anti-Malware No Unlimited Server Changes Yes Unlimited Bandwidth Unlimited Data Yes AnonymousVpn uses Dns Leak Security to prevent leakage. It still doesn’t support the Ipv6 protocol as can be expected from smaller Vpn providers. Rather you have to fully disable this protocol and switch to Ipv4 instead. And there’s included a kill-switch to keep you safe at all times. If you are trying to look for more advanced features you will not find them here. AnonymousVpn doesn’t block ads, and it doesn’t fight against malware (for this reason you can use third party solutions). Nor is there split-tunneling. All in all, it looks like this is a relatively basic Vpn that should be appropriate for average home users. We’ve got some good news before we finish this chapter. AnonymousVpn has no restrictions, so there are no limits on the bandwidth and data of the server switches.Server number 50 + Location number N / A Country Specific Cities Availability No Free Switching Yes Many Vpns proudly state their server related information. So you know that the situation is not good when you find a Vpn that hides this information. AnonymousVpn doesn’t include any numbers on their official website. It shows instead a list of 25 countries. And we got in touch with the company to try to find any concrete numbers. You can’t connect to specific cities amongst other stuff. You can pick only one nation instead. And happily there is no limit to how many times you can move between different servers.
Use simple
.490 Once you lunch AnonymousVpn for the first time, you will see that your username and password are being requested. Oddly enough, this isn’t their log-in computer. Instead, you need to set up everything to pick your server and it will test your credentials when you press the ‘ Connect ‘ button. You need to pick a server before you connect, or let AnonymousVpn find the most appropriate option. Next to field ‘ Country ‘ you can find the list of supported countries. You can’t connect to a particular server or town as noted earlier. You can only link to a given country, instead. .491 You can click on the button in the lower-left corner to see everything this program has to offer. This will extend the Ui of this Vpn with a new panel where you’ll find a number of useful choices. First you can set AnonymousVpn to start at device initialization. And you can also automatically instruct it to connect to a server. This means you can always be safe as soon as you power up your computer. .492 We will admit in our Vpn reviews this section can be quite lengthy. AnonymousVpn is however an incredibly simple alternative to Vpn. If you need something that’s as simple as possible you’ll like what it offers. However more advanced users won’t like the fact that with this program, fine tuning is impossible.
Media Streaming Torrenting Support
.493 Bbc iPlayer No Amazon Prime Video No Torrenting (P2P) This Vpn was checked with Netflix Hulu Bbc iPlayer and Amazon Prime Video, none of which worked. Since there is no access to different cities all you can do is use the Vpn’s desktop client to switch between different Ip addresses. Still this action will not produce any useful results either. When it comes to torrenting AnonymousVpn says it supports P2P traffic on all its servers. Nevertheless we have seen numerous online reports that contradict the statements of the Vpn. The speed of our Web connection was extremely limited during our tests (when using uTorrent to download files) so we can’t recommend it for torrenting. And even if you try to make sure that you only stick to the correct files.
Data security
AnonymousVpn did not pass our Dns leak safety check. So it can’t even do its primary job of protecting your identity online. Our Rating: 1/10. Now let’s find out what kinds of security features this Vpn has to offer. With this said we’re going to review their encryption and Vpn protocols and we’re going to take a close look at their privacy policy. So let’s continue.
Encryption Protocols Supported
It’s strange that AnonymousVpn does not proudly claim that it uses the best form of encryption available. With Aes-256 on board, you can be 100% sure that your private data will remain yours (unless there are other forms of leaks). This Vpn uses Pptp OpenVpn and Ipsec for the encryption. That however depends on your preference platform so not all protocols are available at the same time. Windows users, for example, will be able to use both OpenVpn and Ipsec which are incredibly secure.
Logging Policy
Once you start using AnonymousVpn, you must collect data on your server location collection along with timelines and the amount of data transmitted within one day. However, this information is said to be used to check the Vpn’s ‘ traffic use counters. ‘ Additionally, this data is confidential and can not be connected to what you are doing online. AnonymousVpn is obviously not a Vpn 100 per cent no-logs. We can only assume all the information that it collects is confidential. We wouldn’t be shocked to see however that this is not the case.
Dns
Leak CheckAnonymousVpn has slowed us down by 34%. This is an above-average outcome although there are a variety of Vpns you will find that perform better. Our performance: 6/10. You certainly want to know what sort of performance you should expect from this Vpn. We’re here to check that, so let’s look at some specific numbers. .497 Figure 1 Our Data base.

When AnonymousVpn was launched we find a server in a neighboring country (we’re based in Europe). We ran another speed test once the link became operational. We got 110.38 Mbps for downloads this time around, and 8.30 Mbps for uploads. .499 Figure 3 Remote AnonymousVpn server performance; And we also wanted to finally test the output of a remote server (located in the Usa). You can’t choose from single servers as stated earlier. Instead, you can only pick a country which means you can not connect to a server on the Usa’s western or eastern coast. If you look at the screenshot above you will see we got 86.08 Mbps for downloads and 5.46 Mbps for uploads.

Do we suggest VpnAnonymous?
Every Vpn has the primary role of keeping you fully anonymous on the Internet. It must avoid any leaks and it must have means to counter snooping by third parties.

Cons: Minimal app support; extremely small server network; can’t unblock websites streaming media; leaks personal data; customer support is half-helpful; overpriced. Our Score: Of 10, 3.5!
