by TELLALL4ALL, 4 years ago3-30-25: They are not satisfied with stealing your data now the want you to doxx yourself by emailing them to user their crappy vpn that lacks WORKING IPS can't keep user ids requiring re-install slow to connect more junk from mozilla.
3-12-25: can't keep user ids very few free ips Servers offiine much of the time. Errors for no reason requiring reinstall. stupid nonsensical error messages. increased demands for more permissions.get it working about 25% of the time without reinstall. Probably run by machine no real developer assistance.urban vpn much better and there are several much better than this junkware
2-5-25: Hasn't improved only use it occasionally now too much trouble connecting few to no free ips
12-28-24: asks 4 further spyware permissions then blocks your access when u refuse. Acts like hackers in control. constantly loses ur account requringmaking new one. junk run by losers
8-31-24: 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 Eric, 2 months agoChina began a crackdown on VPNs in April 2026, severely restricting Proton VPN and Privado VPN. Incredibly They rely too much on OpenVPN / WireGuard . This is easily identified and blocked by Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), AdGuard VPN was able to connect quickly under these circumstances. I suspect this is due to its unique encryption protocol, which is different from other VPNs. This is quite surprising, allowing you to maintain your connection even under strict internet censorship.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19611184, 5 months agoМусор. Прежде, чем требовать регистрацию и просить деньги, было бы неплохо сделать работающее расширение, но для разработчиков, видимо, это слишком сложная мысль.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18778693, 6 months agoCompletely cripples Firefox when behind a VPN. Many websites will not load and either hang at "TLS handshake" or claim the connection is not secure. One of the worst options available. Their support is abysmal and it wasn't until I mentioned in the issues Github that I would be escalating my concerns to my state's Attorney General for fraud did they do their jobs and look at a ticket that was sitting there for 20 days. Look elsewhere.
