Hideninja is a popular VPN service which offers anonymity and privacy with one click. Launched in February’ 2013, the service is brought to you by a Russia based company. In this Hideninja REview, I am going to list down the features of the service as well as give my subscription recommendation.
Server Locations & Site Access – Hideninja has deployed servers in 9 different countries including United States, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Russia, Switzerland, France and Poland. The availability of American and European servers definitely serves as a boon for expats and tourists since they can now unblock geographically restricted services like Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Zattoo, Rara, Eurosport, FOX, HBO Now, Hulu, Demand 5, Vevo, RTL, CBS, ABC Player, MTV, Vudu, Wilmaa, 4OD, Amazon Prime, NHL, STV, Vox, Spotify, Prosieben, TV Russia, iTV Player, Canal+, Das Erste, Lovefilm, HBO Go, NBC, Sky Go, Xfinity, USA Network, CWTV, Pandora, UK TV, Arte, Deezer, Direct 8 and MLB from any part of the world. In addition, the service acts as a censorship bursting solution allowing subscribers to access frequently blocked sites like Skype, Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Viber and YouTube regardless of their network (school, university, workplace) or country (even from China, Latin America and Middle East). Free subscribers of the service are allowed to access only a limited number of servers but premium subscribers can switch servers without any restrictions.
VPN Speed & Bandwidth – Hideninja delivers turbo speeds and unlimited bandwidth to all subscribers. Since the provider doesn’t restrict bandwidth or throttle speeds, the service is perfect for resource hungry activities like streaming of HD TV shows and movies, VOIP, multiplayer gaming as well as browsing and downloading.
Privacy Settings – Hideninja provides bank-grade security through its VPN service. The company uses 256-bit AES encryption to encrypt user data and OpenVPN, PPTP and IPSec protocols to tunnel user sessions. The service not only protects unsecured Wi-Fi sessions from wiretapping and snooping but also secures credit card numbers, identity, passwords and social accounts from hacking and theft.
Hideninja does not store logs of user sessions. However, the company does record connection time, bandwidth used, assigned IP address and timestamp details to monitor its network. While the company does not sell user data to third parties, it will fully co-operate with all valid court requests.
Supported Operating Systems – Hideninja VPN is available for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS (iPhones and iPads). The company offers its own apps for all platforms so installing and using the service is pretty easy. The company even offers browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome that can be used to secure just browsing sessions. Premium subscribers can use the service from 5 different devices at the same time so there is no need to buy multiple subscriptions to secure your laptops, Smartphones and tablets.
Customer Support – Hideninja provides a responsive customer care service through support tickets. The company updates its Facebook and Twitter feeds on a regular basis so you can learn about service disruptions and outages in no time.
Pricing Options – Hideninja’s premium service costs $9.99 per month and $59.99 for a year. The company offers a time-bound free trial that can be used to test different featurs of the service. Additionally, all premium subscriptions are covered by a 30 day money back guarantee so your investment is totally risk-free. For free subscribers, the company offers daily bonus points as well as an opportunity to extend connection time by sharing the service details via Twitter/Facebook or by inviting friends.
Final Verdict – Overall, Hideninja is pretty damn good. The provider not only provides a very high level of security but also offers a decent choice of server locations and premium connection speeds. Since the provider offers a very generous money back guarantee, you can try it and get your money back if you don’t like it…. I like that. For more information, please visit: www.hideninja.com.
