Great vpn.

It's very easy to login and logout. The speed is good. Probably free data10g in a month is not enough for me.

Free version is good value

Free version is good value, as long as you remember to top up every month. I've only once exceeded the 10GB monthly limit, and that was 'cos of my fat fingers (and slow brain)

Easy installation, clean interface, good server coverage

Easy to install and use both in Windows and Android. My only comment are:
- Servers outside my Geo are always marked as very busy but I had no major issues with latency anyway even for streaming
- The Android app needs to be manually activated after a restart, would be nice that it started automatically

Might be good for those who can make it…

Might be good for those who can make it work. After days of trying to get the payment system to work (it would just not do anything when I pressed the button, no matter which payment method; no error messages, nothing), including multiple conversations with support, I gave up and went with another VPN provider instead.

Easy to insttal and get going

As a total newbie to VPN. I found it easy to install and connect to the VPN. It did take me a while to work out that I need to connect to UK in order to watch UK tv. The connection was excellent - I was watching the football world cup final on bbc so it was a high volume connection

Speedy.

I ran a speed test before and after I installed privado, the difference was negligible. Some vpns almost half your internet speed so in my opinion privado is one of the better ones.

Privado account setup went smoothly

Privado account setup went smoothly. It was fast and easy. I did research on comparing Privado against other more pricey VPNs. I ended up choosing Privado. Mobile phone security is important and there's not a lot of choices. Thanks Privado.

Privado VPN Free useless for me--Did not work but said connected.

Installed Privado VPN free on Win 11 using Google Chrome. Opened the app & connected to chosen US location. The app said that I was connected. Nothing Happened--no error message or anything else. Tried another location--same thing. Internet tips are not helpful. Privado VPN is useless for me. Uninstalled the program.

Reply from PrivadoVPN

A client/host server, such as PrivadoVPN, is a network architecture that enables secure and private communication between devices (clients) and a centralized server (host) over the internet.

PrivadoVPN is a brand that offers a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service. In this context, a client/host server refers to the infrastructure used by PrivadoVPN to establish a secure connection between the client device (e.g., a computer, smartphone, or tablet) and their servers.

When a user wants to establish a VPN connection using PrivadoVPN, the client software installed on their device communicates with the PrivadoVPN servers (the host) through an encrypted tunnel. This tunnel masks the user's real IP address and encrypts their internet traffic, ensuring their online activities remain private and protected from surveillance or malicious entities.

The client/host server architecture of PrivadoVPN allows users to access the internet through the VPN servers, which are strategically located in different regions globally. By connecting to these servers, users can bypass geographical restrictions, access region-specific content (e.g., streaming services, websites, or applications), and protect their data from potential threats on public or unsecured Wi-Fi networks.

If you need more assistance suing our VPN, please feel free to reach out to our support team and we will be happy to assist.
