Review from Erno on Vpn Tunnel (Swedish)
2nd post.
Hi,
@vpnTunnellsAscam
Eventually after two days I did receive the login info. I wish I hadn’t. I’m so tired with the issue I’m not going to post a detailed analysis. I share lot of the undesired experiences with the previous posters.
1. Their client does not know whether you are connected or not. If in the client dashboard original IP, assigned IP, or server all three does not have values you are not connected. Several times a day one value changes to ‘unknown or ‘not connected’, which means you have to ignore the green box saying your connection is secure. Sure you could use the openVPN but people that provide their paying customers with something as bug ridden as that client should not be the people answering for your anonimity and security. As for the connection guard, forget about it.
2. Several secret disconnections a day. For some reason the higher the number of the Swedish server – for example SE 13 – the quicker the eventual disconnection. During the month I used the service I got disconnected a few times a day on average. The worst part was I had to constantly check it from websites that show your IP as I couldn’t trust the client.
3. Unwanted and unrequested connections to US servers. Sometimes the connection loq showed connections to San Francisco and Fort something on multiple occasion even though I never requested a US server connection. This is unwelcomed because vpntunnel has a 30 day logging policy in the US.
4. Speeds were extremely slow on average about 2-3Mbs/s (200-300 kB/s) download. As a Scandinavian I know how much bandwith costs here and that is unacceptable.
All in all those that end up never receiving their login info get a blessing in disguise. This firm is obviously cashing in on the privacy demand copyright and other censorship issues are creating and do not take their business seriously. When I first complained about not receiving ANYTHING for my money they opened a support ticket with ‘low priority’. I am embarrased that these people use the generally good scandinavian reputation for an almost scam.
