Advice Request Betternet free VPN

[Rengar]

So i came across with Betternet free vpn service. Has anyone used it? How was it in terms of speed? Can you tell the pros and cons of this programme?

Thanks.

I tested it a long time ago, it was not so bad in terms of speed, but I remember it dropped tons of ADS.

Yeah cause its free and they must make money somehow

My memories from some time ago it performance was okay, I also remember some adds also. I do not use it now so that says something.

But is it worth for malware testing only?

Not tested but my friend have: I quoted his conclusion:

I liked:

• Free service is very usable and has no data limits
• Premium service is cheap
• P2P permitted (even on free service!)
• Free browser add-ons are also available
• No DNS leaks (but WebRTC leaks)
• BBC iPlayer available
• 5 simultaneous connections (Premium)
• No usage logs, but…

I wasn’t so sure about

• Connection logs
• Performance for both free and Premium services is uninspiring
• Encryption is almost certainly meh
• Pricing model worries me somewhat
• US Netflix blocked

I hated

• Customer support is effectively non-existent
• Canada is terrible for privacy (but is probably ok for P2P for now)

• PROS
• Free or very cheap
• Permits P2P
• No data limits
• BBC iPlayer available
• 5 Simultaneous connections

• CONS
• No customer support
• Connection logs
• Not fast
• Canada is terrible for privacy

I used Betternet for some time about a couple of years ago and speeds weren't terrible but it was very unreliable - disconnected every few minutes and I seem to recall it didn't have a killswitch so you may want to take precautions in that respect.

I don't know what sort of usage you want but if not too much then Windscribe's free 15gb a month might be sufficient.

I used it on android.It was awesome.Of course there were many ads.

Using the browser extension for a couple of days now. So far no ads or connection problems. Speed seems better than Zenmate too, which I used before.
Sadly only two servers in the free version, one in the US and one in the UK. I don't know if the desktop variant has more of them.

Would not trust this. I think that logging is a big privacy concern for this one! Plus the fact , stated earlier in this post that connections can be cut off is also a big nono. Better go for the free 50gb a month windscribe installer ( or extension ) or cyberghost free. Far better options. IMHO.
