Safer VPN Review

SaferVPN offers 400+ servers in 30 countries. Native apps for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and Chrome. Automatic protection whenever you connect to insecure Wi-Fi, and 24/7 customer support via live chat or email if anything goes wrong.

SaferVPN's one-month plan is a little high at $8.99 per month, but this drops to $5.99 with the one-year plan, and only $3.49 a month if you sign up for two years. There's also a free 24 hour trial to sample the service, with no restrictions on speed or server access.

What we like

• Clients for almost every platform
• Above-average speeds
• Excellent Windows client
• Free 24-hour trial of the full service

What we don't like

• No P2P support
• Detailed session (not traffic) logging

Speed

In our tests, performance was generally very good. Download speeds ranged from 30Mbps to 15-20Mbps. Speeds were above average compared to other VPN services. We were unable to test Peer-to-Peer (P2P) connections due to the ban on P2P traffic.

Privacy

SaferVPN's website clearly displays the company’s no logging policy: "We never log or monitor your VPN network traffic. What you do online is your business and we aim to keep it that way!" Sounds great, but it's not the whole story. The service may not log your traffic, but it does record a great deal of session data: connect and disconnect times, bandwidth used, your incoming IP address and the IP address of the server allocated to you. That doesn't tell anyone what you're doing, but it's more information than many other services collect.
