OverPlay offers a SmartDNS service that allows you to access blocked websites and a full fledged VPN service that secures and encrypts your connection in addition to unblocking websites. In this Overplay VPN review, we check out its features and decide whether it is worth the money.

With over 150 servers spread across the world, you can choose a server of your choice and watch restricted content and stream movies. There is no additional fee for changing servers so you can switch them as often as you want. The company also allows legal P2P and torrent traffic on all its servers which sets it apart from other VPN providers.

Overplay Speed

OverPlay offers ultra fast connections for browsing and streaming content. The service also provides access to smart servers which are great for streaming movies. You can access a smart server located near your location just by selecting it from the admin area. While the actual speed will depend on a lot of factors, you can get very high speeds if you have a good internet connection and have a server near your current location.

overplay is def a good vpn, but i’ve heard there are some areas where the website cannot be accessed. it’s kind of weird since there’s servers located in some of these places. just wait until a certain time when the server becomes avail during the day, that’s what i did.

Hey Stu! I think it’s actually very reasonable once you try it out. I’m from Canada, and I must say that the server is very fast and I feel really secure. Give it a try and you will wonder why you weren’t using it!

Got servers all over the world and it’s super stable. Definitely like overplay vpn. Have been able to access tons of content in Asia, and am starting to use it in India since I have a report coming up.

Overplay VPN offers servbers in a ton of different countries and it’s easy to use. I travel throughout most of Asia, and am usually very concerned about my privacy. I used to be very concerned with sharing private work information, but Overplay also allows me to have unlimited bandwidth at amazing speeds! Never have to worry again when sending/accessing info over your computer or smartphone! Have already used this service for 6 months, and will definitely continue to use after contract is up.
