Review from ?? ? on BreakWall
As a mac/windows/android user and I must admit that the vpn works pretty well.
Currently I am in Mainland China and the conection seldom stops. Besides, the speed of the connections are rather fast reaching at least 3mb (sorry, my connection is only 3mb so I can’t test more!)
This VPN has its own Windows software that automaticaly connects you to the fastest connection. The software is both easy to use and configure: you have to type your username and password and then it does everything automaticaly.
Android works pretty well with Samsung Galaxy SIII but I had some problems with mainland-bought phones. They strangely don’t support Cisco IPSec.
To configure every device you have a webpage with all the information that you have to type and with pictures that shows you how to do it.
In Mainland China you can buy this VPN through Taobao which is quite convenient if you have a bank account in China. Besides the price got down last month. Now it’s 39 yuan for the 60gb plan.
They send you an email to do the payment so you don’t have to bother too much to renew the plan.
About the support they are (in fact the guy who answer my questions sings with the same name) amazing: they answer ASAP and with an adequate answer!
The location of the servers vary with the protocol you are going to connect (PPTP, L2TP or CiscoIPSec). They have 2 main locations: Japan and USA and a secondary (which is the location that I use the most, specially to watch cantonese soap operas): Hong Kong.
Said so, this VPN has 2 weak points:
-It does not work very good in Mac (10.7) with the system configuration or freeVPN: it asks to authentificate and when you type the user and password suddenly stops and you have to restart the connection all over again. Said this, it works amazingly well with Shadowshoks (in Mac)
-The plan has a data limit and a p2p limitation (they don’t allow you to use p2p connections). For some people that 2 points could be quite important. For me, that I use the connection for work and personal things, these limitations are not important.
