I want to like this app; I really do. The fact that a lot of sites don’t work when this VPN is active is solid evidence that the encryption actually works as intended. That being said, I’m trying to keep my VPN set in the US for privacy purposes— where my data will be protected by US Law. I’ve favorited numerous US locations, and yet the app keeps automatically resetting my VPN location to Amsterdam almost constantly. This location also comes with ping of about 120, and I can see my download and upload speeds drastically decrease when browsing or downloading app updates and/or data. Furthermore, changing the location to overseas takes my data out of the jurisdiction of US privacy laws, and subjects my data to foreign data collection (by both US and foreign governments). This is absolutely unacceptable and completely contrary to why I paid for this app in the first place.
Let me set where I want my data routed. I wanted this app for data privacy purposes; not to watch Netflix shows that only air in Amsterdam. There are dozens of other VPNs that I could use for that.
I will say that this VPN works much better on my computer; this issue only seems to exist on the mobile app. I’ll update my review when they add a feature that lets me use this app for the purpose for which it was designed.
