## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-02-16*

Stop the hype this vpn is trash

**Developer response:** We'd love to know what stinks so we can clean the trash! Reach out to support@obscura.net and we'll see what didn't live up to the hype and hopefully help.

### 1/5 — Not recommend.

*2025-11-12*

I don't recommend buying this. The product isn't ready, and you won't receive technical support or a refund.

**Developer response:** Hey Uthuf, I'm sorry to hear you've been having issues with Obscura. To report issues with the app or receive a refund you can email support@obscura.net and we'll be happy to help you over there!

### 2/5 — Great - when it works

*2026-01-13*

Constantly disconnects. Hard to reconnect. When I leave WiFi and go to cellular data, it sends to hang. 

But when it works, it’s great. Probably better off using ProtonVPN - or another VPN if you want to make sure your VPN is working

**Developer response:** That is definitely unexpected, if you're still seeing connection issues, could you send over a debug bundle so the team could help fix the issue for you? To create a debug bundle, you can follow these steps. Open the Obscura App > Select the About tab > Click Create Debug Bundle.

Then you can send directly to support@obscura.net and we'll help you there!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-08-01*

No compromise on ease of use , no compromise on privacy.

### 5/5 — A+ VPN

*2026-01-04*

Great vpn. All of them should be two hops like this, otherwise you’re just transferring your trust from your ISP to your VPN service.

### 5/5 — So great

*2025-10-02, version 1.140*

Wide selection of locations, love the UI

### 5/5 — Amazing tech

*2025-09-09, version 1.134.1*

Cutting edge tech and privacy, tested in mainland china and works great. Sets a new bar for VPNs.

### 5/5 — Great VPN as a First Time User

*2025-09-05*

Hello, I gave 5 stars!! I had a question which I hope you can resolve. While I’m connecting to Obscura VPN, Miami, Florida or New York location, I get disconnected with an error saying, “unable to connect to the Obscura API. You may be offline or something is interfering with your connection.” Please help and advise. Thank you!

Have you considered using Linode, Akamai Connected Cloud as an ISP for your Obscura VPN locations? They are affordable and cost effective. Please look into them.

**Developer response:** Hey GreatGold, are you still experiencing this issue on Obscura? If you are, could you send over a debugging archive? To create a debugging archive, you can follow these steps. Open the Obscura App > Select the About tab > Click Create Debugging Archive then you can send directly to support@obscura.net and we'll help you there! We currently use DataPacket as our hosting provider. We're always looking to improve the network, so thanks for the Akamai Connected Cloud suggestion!

### 5/5 — A VPN Private Relay

*2025-09-05*

Obscura VPN nails the Apple Private Relay concept for a full VPN. It uses a two-party system where Obscura handles the account and entry relay, and Mullvad runs the exit servers. This means Obscura never sees your traffic and Mullvad never knows who you are.  If you’re looking for strong VPN privacy while still being efficient, go with Obscura.

### 5/5 — Best vpn!

*2025-08-11*

I’ve tried them all. Obscura is the vpn that checks all boxes for me.
