While ever-improving, VyprVPN’s speeds can’t quite match the best of the best. It’s still no slouch, though, with upload speeds especially impressive.
We found VyprVPN’s general performance to be incredibly reliable with very little fluctuation, so as long as you have a stable internet connection you shouldn’t have any issues.
Server Locations
Over 200,000 IP addresses in 64 countries
64Countries
73Cities
200,000+IP AddressesThe 200,000 IP addresses on offer from VyprVPN is one of the absolute most we’ve seen from any VPN provider, ever – it’s a truly massive number, and great news for performance.
VyprVPN’s 73 cities spread over 64 countries is a much more normal number, but still a good selection. Eight different US cities and three different Australian locations is also a bonus for VyprVPN subscribers.
Streaming & Torrenting
Good for Netflix & torrenting but blocked by iPlayer
Streaming with VyprVPN on non-US servers is frustrating, with services like BBC iPlayer very rarely accessible. We haven’t been able to stream it on VyprVPN’s UK servers for several months now.
Netflix and other services like HBO or Hulu will likely work on a couple of VyprVPN’s US servers, but it can’t guarantee much more than that.
Torrenting
VyprVPN treats all traffic equally, though, including P2P. That means that VyprVPN freely permits torrenting on all servers, and it works great, too.
Bypassing Censorship
Great solution for China
VyprVPN is one of the absolute best options available for getting around China’s Great Firewall.
The ‘Chameleon’ protocol helps mask your activity to beat the censors, and it’s available on every server, too – just make sure that you download VyprVPN before traveling as it’s currently banned in Chinese app stores.
VyprVPN is just as adept at bypassing restrictions and blocks in countries like Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Russia, too.

RouterVyprVPN covers all the most common mobile and desktop operating systems, from Microsoft Windows to iOS – VyprVPN takes care of the essentials just fine. Manual setup is possible on some of the more exotic options, like Linux or BlackBerry.

XboxThere’s a VyprVPN custom app available for the Amazon Fire TV and Stick, and you can cover all other streaming devices and games consoles by installing the VPN at router level – it takes a little extra knowhow but the online guides should see you through.
Encryption & Security
One of the most secure VPNs on the market
| Protocol | L2TP/IPSec OpenVPN (TCP/UDP) PPTP |
|---|---|
| Encryption | AES-256 |
| Security | DNS Leak Blocking First-party DNS Supports TCP Port 443 VPN Kill Switch |
| Advanced features |
Please see our VPN Glossary if these terms confuse you and would like to learn more.
When it comes to security VyprVPN offers just about everything we look for in a VPN.
VyprVPN uses AES-256 for encryption and OpenVPN as its default protocol, which we always look for, but it also packs in a raft of important extra features.
It uses its own DNS servers, it has a NAT firewall to block unwanted incoming traffic, the Chameleon protocol helps you beat censorship and web blocks, and Port 443 support means you can hide the fact you’re even using a VPN at all.
Logging Policy
Independently audited zero-logs policy
After an independent audit undertaken by an external company found that VyprVPN was collecting identifiable user data, VyprVPN took swift action to put a stop to it.
The result is that VyprVPN is now a truly no-logs VPN provider, which has been independently verified. No data is retained, and no other parties handle it – it’s one of the best logging and privacy policies around.
Jurisdiction
VyprVPN being based in Switzerland is a big plus for user privacy, too.
Sitting outside both the EU and any other sort of surveillance agreements, there should be very little chance of your data being accessed by any government or law enforcement – not that any is being logged in the first place.

Clear, simple, uncluttered apps
How to Install & Set Up VyprVPN
![Screenshot of the app download options on VyprVPN's website]( "VyprVPN Download Options")
The different download options are displayed down the side of VyprVPN's website.
![Screenshot of how to set up VyprVPN on Windows]( "VyprVPN Installation Instructions")
We like the handy instructions on how to set up the software on various devices.
![Screenshot of VyprVPN's license agreement during the installation]( "VyprVPN License Agreement")
You have to accept VyprVPN's license agreement in order to begin installing the software.
![Screenshot of the progress bar in VyprVPN's installation wizard]( "VyprVPN Installation Wizard")
The whole installation process shouldn't take any longer than 2-3 minutes in total.
![Screenshot of the home screen of VyprVPN's Windows app]( "VyprVPN Main Screen")
We love all the connection info on VyprVPN's main screen, including a performance graph and your chosen VPN protocol.
![Screenshot of VyprVPN's server list from the Windows app]( "VyprVPN Server Locations")
The list of servers opens in a separate window. You can favorite these to make them easier to find later.
![Screenshot of the protocol choices in VyprVPN's Windows app]( "VyprVPN Protocol Selection")
You can select your chosen protocol here. We like the helpful information that comes with each one.
![Screenshot of the DNS options from VyprVPN's Windows app]( "VyprVPN DNS Settings")
You can choose to route your web traffic through VyprVPN's own DNS servers or via a third party.
Clarity is the obvious priority here, as VyprVPN’s simple and uncluttered desktop apps are a breeze to use.
Choosing a server location couldn’t be simpler, and any advanced options you may want to tinker with are kept in one place, clearly explained in plain English.
The VyprVPN mobile apps can be fiddly by comparison, but once you’re up and running it’s smooth sailing similar to their desktop counterparts.
Customer Support
Friendly live chat agents
| 24/7 Live chat support | |
|---|---|
| Online Resources |
Getting in touch via the 24/7 live chat is by far the best way to get help from VyprVPN. Responses can take a few minutes, but they’re always helpful and friendly.
It’s a good thing too, as VyprVPN’s online resources are pretty poor compared to other top providers. There are no video tutorials and there’s not much in-depth advice on advanced issues.

VyprVPN Pricing Plan
There are two different packages on offer with VyprVPN: Standard and Premium – we would always recommend you opt for Premium.
VyprVPN Premium increases your simultaneous device limit from three to five and is the only way to get Chameleon encryption.
What’s more, it’s currently cheaper to choose VyprVPN Premium as it only costs $4.17 per month when you sign up for two years. That’s still more expensive than a lot of big-name providers, but it’s still a fair price to pay.

Premium - Billed $100.00 every 2 years
All plans have 30-day money-back guarantee
Payment Options
You’ll always have access to a three-day trial before buying VyprVPN, but the 30-day money back guarantee is anything but assured. It runs as a promotion fairly often, but not always.
With so many providers offering 30-day free trials as standard this is a pretty sizable disappointment.
VyprVPN accepts a decent enough range of payment methods including most major credit and debit cards, PayPal and Alipay.
It doesn’t accept any forms of cryptocurrency and international options are very limited compared to top-tier providers.

Awesome Product
Fantastic product works quickly and reliably on my iPhone and Mac. Absolutely love it and couldn't live without it.
The past 6 months have been a struggle
Used to be great, but its now not connecting time and time again, then stops responding then I have to kill the process till that finally hangs all of my apps and I end up having to restart the laptop. This happens 2-3 time a week. Its really a shame that its so buggy as other than that is a decent product.
Waste of time and effort
By Robert
Connection with android was fine when it worked but a lot of connection errors. Connnection with windows only ever worked during the free trial period. As soon as I paid for the service I could never connect again using a PC. Repeated conversations and emails with Vypr support could not resolve this. After a couple of months repeated attempts to connect via windows I requested a refund from Vypr. Even though they admitted that I had not received the service I had paid for they would not give a refund. Terrible service, terrible support.
pretty great
By Kukephant
i like your vpn a lot. big fan of the 'connect with untrustworthy wifi's'-feature. also very happy about the new no logs policy. sometimes the ios app has trouble connecting and in some cases i have to restart my device to be able to connect to a wifi network. and one other thing, wich would be nice. being able to circumvent more netflix vpn blockers. thanks and keep up the good work
Should be embarrassed!
