BEST VPN ON THE MARKET

CHEAP, FAST AND BEST OF ALL DECENRALISED

Privacy Privacy Privacy: Made Simple

Orchid has come a long way in the last couple years. From the competitive pricing to the ease of use and customization of hops are unparalleled in the VPN space. The fact that Orchid is a decentralized service is everything a VPN user could ask for. Gone are the days of using a centralized VPN just to have them sell your data or simply hand it over to government entities. I honestly can’t wait to see what new features Orchid releases in the future because I know it will be a game changer.

One thing I would love to see implemented, and I know it’s been hinted at, is the ability for anyone to contribute to the network by staking $OXT. This is a killer application that would increase the decentralization while changing the VPN space as we know it.

I love orchid

I was a beta user, I’m very impressed with the improvements made to the app, a good app is the staple of a good company. Decentralized vpn. I love it, purchasing on the app option is easier than anything. It’s genius. If they improve at the rate I’ve seen thus far then the sky’s the limit

Love it’s crypto based but…

I love that this vpn runs on crypto is is decentralized and am excited for what this app will hopefully become. But….it’s lacking some big features other vpn apps have like Surfshark. If they add auto connect to I trusted networks and kill switch features this would be the best vpn. Auto connect is by far the best feature a vpn can have.

Good app.

I like this app a lot and it doesn’t cost that much.

My favourite VPN

I have used many VPN services over the years. I finally find one that doesn't want to track me on other websites or know which other apps I want to use, and one that doesn't have a customer database that can be hacked. This cannot be said about other VPNs.

Thanks for caring about my privacy, Orchid. ❤️

Incredibly unreliable

Doesn’t work half the time

Response from developer

Thank you for trying Orchid. We are constantly working on updating our server code so that our network is more reliable. If you get a slow connection, turning the app off and then on again triggers a new randomized connection in our network which could be faster for you.

Lost me

So I was all in for a project like this that is geared toward protecting privacy; that’s a big deal that we should all care about, right? But then I listened to a few minutes of a recent Orchid podcast where the guest was an admittedly far-left liberal who is all about shutting down “misinformation” and basically shaming anyone that does not agree with her version of “science”. News flash: there’s a plethora of information that is all science-backed that can give a different perspective to even a far-left liberal if they take the time to read or listen. What a shame that a privacy-centric company that says they believe in privacy and individual rights, would promote that only far left liberal science is real. A total let down. Your user base does not have to be only far left liberals, unless that’s who you want to market to. And in that case, your middle-of-the-road or more conservative customers can take their business to where it is welcome.

No Australian servers?

I think the concept is great, especially the pay-as-you-go model, however there is no way to choose the server location and I found that all my traffic was being routed via Florida USA even though I’m in Australia, so that is significant latency (300ms). Won’t be using this until closer servers are available.

Will go back to Cloudflare Warp 1.1.1.1.

Hurry to get this app

Don’t walk. Run to get this app. Strong protocol with high speed performance. All in all well built app.
