Review from Bushido on Swiss VPN

October 9, 2026

Given the arcane data privacy laws in the UK and the US, and the way we are being closed in on by the enforcement of Orwellian intrusion to our private affairs, I have looked long and hard for a secure VPN solution. I’m not Bernie Madoff or Roman Polanski, but nor do I want the Inland Revenue or IRS insisting I divulge everything I possess, so that they can tax my family when I’m dust.

I tried “StrongVPN” and Happy, then Banana. Not only did they “throttle” connections, and have poor customer service, but as “HappyCustomer” says above, they have “privacy” credos subject the intrusive laws of where they are based, i.e. US and UK. They even say they’ll shut people down for trying to watch British TV from the US or vice-versa, as it is technically “downloading illegal content”! The thing that concerned me most was e.g. StrongVPN’s statement that they will comply with any requests from government agencies; this means no warrant required, just a request by phone from someone.

Having read the “Happycustomer” I tried SwissVPN. Their website is indeed void of the usual hyperbole and high impact marketing images – they simply say they will do the job for you, and that your data is protected.

I have tried it for several months now, from many locations, via many ISP’s and for many data sizes, so felt qualified enough to comment on it. SwissVPN works perfectly, and is as easy to set up as it is to set one’s alarm clock. They even let you test out a connection with them, (go to their faq page and it gives details). 100% reliable, 100% integrity, 100% recommended, great prices too.
