Review from Gemma on Vpn Tunnel (Swedish)
This is a very dishonest service and should be avoided at all costs!!!
Quote from their FAQ:
“Most of our servers are located in Sweden in a datacenter with a capacity of 10 Gbps. Recently we expanded though, now we are able to provide ip:s from more countries like US, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark.”
…but they do not have any servers in Germany DE, Denmark DK or the Netherlands NL so how can they say they are expanding their IP range???
Expanding gives the impression they already have IPs in those locations to expand.
Is it not true that of this comment date the IPs they purport to refer to are servers in DE, DK and NL but in fact all for servers in Sweden only?
This from a Support Ticket response when I queried the IPs for all International servers in DE, DK, NL, SE and the USA that appeared to all refer to data centers in Sweden and one in the USA:
“That’s because we have servers in US and Sweden only…”
So why are they being deceptive about having servers in other countries that do not exist?
They also quote on their home page that they use 2048 bit Blowfish encryption, when in fact this is also not true – I checked the actual connection logs for the actual encryption being used.
Why these obvious deceptions?
Their NEW OpenVPN v1.0.0.0 client won’t initialize on my XP SP3 PC ( I have tested multiple VPN provider’s client software with no issues) and their Support answered that I should use their Classic version with it’s uses a very old OpenVPN client software instead.
In the end I download the latest OpenVPN client for Windows version from the OpenVPN web site which has many advancements and improvements, not to mention the security upgrades.
I then configured it myself and that is when the International server deception came to light as all the respective country IPs I asked for were in a Swedish DC only except for the USA IP.
There are too many drop outs to make this a secure and reliable VPN and I urge caution when using it in light of the above deceptive behavior.
They have no cancellation or refund policy, so you would be out of luck if you asked for a refund.
Honesty is always the best policy and can you, in light of the all the other deceptions, honestly believe that they do not keep logs?
Users of VPNTunnel, will never know if they do or not keep logs until this is tested at some point in time.
There are many more honest VPN providers out there and VPNTunnel does not qualify in this category.
