APOVPN is a US based privacy service that made its debut in 2012. The service is brought to you by Guarded Horizons Inc. which is based in Alexandria, Virginia. In this exhaustive APOVPN Review, we will reveal the features that come with the service so that you can make an informed subscription decision.

Server Locations and Site Access

APOVPN has a presence in just one country – United States of America. Within US, the company has deployed its servers at New York, San Jose, Miami and Lily. While there is no real choice of server locations available, the service makes it possible for US expats and tourists to access On-Demand premium channels and TV sites from any location in the world. For instance, with your APOVPN subscription, you would be able to unblock services such as Hulu, Pandora, NBC, Netflix, NHL, FOX, USA Network, MLB, Amazon Prime, Vudu, HBO Go, CWTV, Vevo, MTV, Xfinity, TNT and CBS even if you are thousands of miles away from America. What’s more, the service works as a firewall buster solution and allows you to access your favorite sites like Facebook, Twitter, Viber, Skype, Gmail and YouTube from behind corporate and country level firewalls (really helpful in China, Middle East and Latin America).

VPN Speed and Bandwidth

APOVPN delivers an unlimited speed and unrestricted bandwidth VPN service. The company has tied up with best bandwidth providers to offer the highest possible speeds and low latency rates to its customers. Due to speed and bandwidth advantages, the service is well-suited for online activities like VOIP, streaming of HD movies and TV shows, downloading and multiplayer online gaming.

Privacy Settings

APOVPN relies on the most secure internet protocol currently available, OpenVPN, to offer security and privacy to its customers. The service encrypts data with 2048-bit encryption which not only keeps hackers at a distance when you are accessing the internet from public Wi-Fi hotspots (at coffee shops, malls, public parks, airports) but also protects all kinds of online activities (including VOIP, messaging and emailing) from surveillance and snooping.

As far as the logging policy of APOVPN is concerned, the company does not log any personally identifiable information. The company only records connection details for system maintenance and such logs can never be tied to a particular customer. However, the company will co-operate with law enforcement agencies when served with a valid court notice.

Supported Operating Systems

APOVPN works perfectly on Windows (XP/Vista/7+), Mac OSX, Linux, iOS (iPads, iPhones) and Android. In addition, the service can also be used on devices like Roku, Smart TVs, Google TV and gaming consoles through DD-WRT and Sabai routers. The company has partnered with Sabai to offer pre-configured routers that do not need require flashing.

APOVPN offers its own client for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS so there is no need to tinker with network settings. The company has also published step by step setup instructions as well as video tutorials to assist those who are not comfortable with the setup process.

Customer Support

APOVPN provides customer support through support tickets. If the need arises, the support staff can even offer remote help to customers.

Pricing Options

APOVPN is available at a flat rate of $7 per month ($21 quarterly, $42 semi-annually and $84 annually). Although there are no term discounts available, it is possible to save money on subscriptions by using APOVPN coupons. The company does not offer trials but it does have a 7 day refund policy in place so you can test the service with total confidence.

Final Verdict

Overall, APOVPN is definitely worth a look. While the company does not have gateways outside America, it delivers high speeds and cutting-edge security to customers. So if you are looking for a VPN service that offers total privacy and freedom, don’t forget to check the offers from APOVPN. For more information, please visit: www.apovpn.com.
