Pros and Cons	High-speed, reliable, and stable connections that improve productivity and user experience. Simple, user-friendly interface that makes it easy for anyone to use. Excellent customer support, providing quick responses and effective resolutions to issues. Works seamlessly in countries that block other VPNs, ensuring accessibility and bypassing restrictions. Unblocks geo-restricted content and apps, broadening access to media and services. Occasional issues with connectivity, such as difficulty connecting or disconnections. Limited support for Linux users, with some complaints about the app experience. Delays in customer service responses under certain circumstances, though ultimately resolved.	Offers top-notch security features, including military-grade AES-256 encryption and reliable protocols like OpenVPN and IKEv2/IPSec, ensuring user privacy and safety. Strict no-log policy and Swiss jurisdiction provide strong privacy guarantees. Secure Core allows routing through multiple servers, adding an extra layer of protection. Free version with unlimited bandwidth provides a solid starting point, unmatched by many competitors. Supports multiple platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android) and allows up to 10 simultaneous connections on higher plans. Fewer server locations compared to competitors, limiting connection versatility, especially in some regions like Latin America. Free and lower-tier plans can be slow, with limited speed and functionality compared to premium plans. Customer support is often slow, lacking live chat, which causes delays in resolving issues.
