- Rated 1 out of 5by TELLALL4ALL, 2 years ago8-31-24: no change still the next to worst "free"vpn addon. Can't remember you asking your to reinstall, most servers frequently offline requring reinstall to get it working. Junk.
7-29-23: stopped using it months ago. Extremely flaky. can't remember you, inconsistently asks you to reregister. Servers extremely slow or do not respond at all or are listed as "offline", hahaha. What a joke. Browsec a much better free vpn (I have no commercial interest in this just reporting my experience)
3-17-23: How do you go from top of the heap to the bottom of the barrel in less than a year? Ask the staff at adguard. Slow as hell to connect a real PITA to use it. Can't keep you user id and registration constantly asking you to fill out a new one. Privacy concerns, they are tracking you and maybe worse. Frequent unusable IPs due to their being "offline". Drops connections. Used to have dns leaks not sure if still? Just a very unresponsive difficult to use VPN. Browsec is MUCH more stable, easy to use, reliable and no dns leaks. Hardly ever use this one any more, although it sometimes is a bit faster. I guess they could not deal with an increase of users, that's why it sucks now.
12-17-22: loses out completely to Browsec VPN. Outs your IP with DNS leaks. Takes forever to connect. Drops connections. IPs frequently "offline". Browsec has less ips but much more stable, faster connects. You spend half your time waiting for their crap proxies to connect. Blah
11-3-2022: Longer it goes the worse it gets. Can't connect. All servers offline. Cant find their asses from a hole in the ground as far as dns lookups go-many "can't find it" error messages. Why do people even start companies like this if they cannot maintain them. Big disappointment, it was good when no one else was using it, now it's just another crappy "free" vpn. Browsec is better now by far.
9-17-22: WOW. From really good to really, really bad. Today I had two time their "proxies" disconnect me w/out warning revealing my home IP. Switched to another free proxy. Lately this one is either "offline", cannot connect or they kick you off the proxy and violate your privacy. Junk. Maybe they are trying to tell us we must PAY if we want a REAL vpn?
slow as hell to connect. changed to another free (one of many available) vpn due to it's sloth like slowness. Once connected not so bad but takes forever to connect and their ip are frequently "offline". - Rated 5 out of 5by Mr. Night, 2 years agoХороший плагин VPN, с возможностью выбора режима (постоянная работа и работа только на определенных сайтах), с приемлимыми ценами
- Rated 5 out of 5by Владислав, 2 years agoДавно искал нормальный VPN. Программы AdGuard работают хорошо! Рекомендую!
- Rated 1 out of 5by HonestReviews, 2 years ago12/21/24 : can't remember user requiring new acct creation frequently. Slow or impossible to connect, many or all IPS "offline". Another junk "free" vpn-not free if it wastes your time.
9-9-24: frequently drops connection and also your wifi connection. usually only one or two ips availalble or none at all, sometimes help by required rinstalls and they can't remember who you are. Bunch of amateurs. browsec is better, so is urban,so is cyberghost.
Sad mozila can't attract competent programmers
7-4-23 update: a bad joke. can't keep your id, takes forever to connect. free servers reported as down. One BS problem after another who needs it? Browser VPN 100% better. Don't waste your time with this. Maybe it's ok if you PAY, but I doubt it.
5-2-23: still not using it. too slow, too many problems connecting to servers,remembering account. using browsec (no affiliation) much more stable, ez connect, fast enuf.
4-7-23-stopped using it, unstable, SLOW SLOW SLOW to connect. A real PITA to use it. Can't even remember which users have accounts half the time. Drops connections, IPs offline,stalled connections. Browsec is much better-I have no commercial interest-personal exprience only.
11-25-22: i had high hopes for this addon because it worked well the first 2 months, then it suddenly went to hell. I'm guessing they got a lot more users based on the good review as it was largely unknown. Either that or they don't like I haven't paid them anything. And I never will because their addon sucks now.
acts like it's being hacked-directs to pages you never clicked on.
very slow to get any server response when connecting. drops connections or proxy cannot do dns lookups. Often servers unavailable and listed as "offline". Started out good and gradually got worse and worse. Now using browsec often which is much quicker to connect and much more stable, but with fewer ips. I have not found a really good "free" proxy yet. They all pretty much suck. So far browsec is the best.
10-2-22-slight improvement but still sucky. Can't connect to IPs, half of the time. Gives message offline for all except maybe one or two ips. Had to go to browsec vpn much more reliable and not a PITA to connect. Little faster on the error messages, but still a PITA to use it. Try browsec, or setup vpn. 90% of the so called free vpns are either not free or crap. Not worth your time.
9-2-22: This started off as the best free vpn available. Now at about 4 months out it has gone to hell and is crappy as all the other "free" VPNS.
I went to the trouble to post this review because it is so bad now. SLOWWWW to load. SLOOOWWW to give error messages due to other reasons. Just damn slow you grow old waiting for a response for their servers. Half the time the dummies running this cannot tell if you have an account or not and offer up a new account window that then disappears if you reload the browser. Gone to hell same as all the other lame "free" vpns out there. It's not FREE if we have to waste our time getting the pos to work! The guys running this are smart. But not smart enough to deal with their new user load. Also it does not prevent DNS leads from browserleaks.org and shows the home DNS server whichi is a dead giveaway of your home IP. This is WITH their so called adguard adblock enabled which is supposed to use THEIR DNS. Guess what that shows but SO does your HOME DNS, VOILA, we now know where you are and probably WHO you are. Still lacking: a free vpm that is ANY GOOD with residential IPs that does not leak DNS info. I should say this is for chrome, but I am sure the same is true for FFOX. - Rated 5 out of 5by John, 2 years ago
