VyprVPN, Overview


As many of you know I am in and out of China all the time.  China has what is known as the “Great Firewall”.  Well besides the obvious pun, the name is used because it blocks all sites such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and more!  Yet all of these services can be utilized without any issues as long as you have a VPN.  That is where a VPN comes into play.  A VPN unlocks the internet and lets you access all of your favorite content from around the world.  But not just any VPN will do.  Many get blocked from China; some get blocked from services like Hulu.  I found this one to be the best VPN in China.

 

The Good and the Bad


Good

Speed is the key with the internet now days. Everyone wants to view videos, play content, and browse without any delays from their internet.  Well Many VPNs slow your connection down.  This one is one of the few that I have actually seen a slight increase in speeds when I am connected.secure your data with a vpn

They protect copy write materials.  This VPN will actually kick you out of their service if you are violating copy write materials.  So don’t get this if you are looking to download movies or music illegally.  I actually like this idea, though some might see this as a negative.

The set up and support is very easy to use.  It takes less than 5 minutes to set up an account and get your VPN rolling.  Time is everything.  Also they have fantastic support.  I had a glitch on my end because when I first set up my account I used capital and lowercase letters in my email address.  Your email address is your user name.  Here was my catch; the username is case sensitive so it wasn’t recognizing my name.  I sent a quick query and had an answer within minutes.

There are three different tiers of the VPN itself.  The first allows you to connect one device at a time and allows you to use the PPTP protocol which is great for almost any need you may have.  I personally like the second tier, which allows 2 devices to be connected simultaneously.  It also opens up the other protocols such as OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec and their proprietary protocol Chameleon. The second tier also gives you a NAT Firewall to help protect you.  The final tier gives you 3 simultaneous connections and includes all of the protocols as well.Why do I need a VPN- The Best VPN services

Chameleon is a great little protocol.  It fools those pesky services such as Hulu to allow you still to use your VPN.  Some services as I said above will not let you use the service if they detect a VPN.  I have not found any other VPN service that can do that.  There may be some out there, I just haven’t seen it.

Finally I love the graph that the program has going at all times when the software is being used.  It shows the actual speeds you are achieving while it is working.  You can see the graph both when the VPN is on and off as long as you have the software running, this takes out some of the guess work.

VyprVPN protocol

Bad

I found it a bit confusing at first how to change the protocol.  But once I figured it out it was very easy.  I figured I would share how to do that because it took me a bit and I am sure that I am not the only person who will wonder.  The first thing you need to do is to run the software.  Then in the upper right corner click on the gear.VyprVPN best VPN for China

Then you will see the options menu; click on that.  It will then open another window.  In that window you want to click on the protocol tab.  Then each of the protocols are outlined and you just need to click on the button for the protocol you want, click apply then okay.  It is very simple once you know how.  As you can see I have selected PPTP right now, but I have used them all for various reasons.

I have also had issues with billing and renewing my subscription.

 

Customer Support


As I mentioned above the customer service was very quick to respond to my question.  Furthermore they solved my issue as well. I also had an issue with billing and renewing my subscription that was never resolved.  I chose to go to another provider.

 

Who is VyprVPN For?


This is a great product for anyone who needs a VPN, it is by far the best one I have found for use in China.

 

VyprVPN Price


As I said there are three different price points.  Actually they do have 4 price points as they have a free service that but has limited bandwidth.  They are listed as you can see below.VyprVPN best VPN for China

 

My Final Opinion of VyprVPN


This was by far my favorite VPNs I have used, until they had a billing issue and I was unable to renew the service.  They never got back to me on it.  I have tried many services including ones from Amazon, Strong VPN (my old favorite prior to them changing some things), Overplay VPN, and many more.  I used to love this one, but now prefer Express VPN.  It is a little bit more than others, but in my opinion it is worth it.  You can try out the free trial here.

    Great site I heard a lot of good about VPN. I heard they could protect you from hackers and other things. Interesting I did not know you cant access a lot of sites when your out the country, I guess it is for safety reasons. I also like how you listed some cons for VPN…didn’t know they could actually slow you down a bit. But I guess they have more positive benefits than negative so that’s good.

      Brandon,

      VPNs are very helpful, they can help protect you from hackers and other things. Some things you cannot access out of the country because of the country blocking them. Other things like Hulu and Netflix you cannot access due to copy write issues. Something about the way the agreement with the site and the production studio works, or at least that is my understanding.

      While VPNs can slow you down, sometimes it actually makes things faster. That is why I wrote this, in China you need a VPN because they block sites. Imagine not being able to access Google. Yes that is right, China blocks Google.

      They do have other search engines, and you can use Bing and Yahoo, but it makes a huge difference.

      Thanks for you comments.

      Marc
