Server Locations

As of now, Perfect Privacy has 42 servers in 18 countries – United Kingdom (2 servers), Canada (5 servers), United States (4 servers), Luxembourg (8 servers), Russia (3 servers), Netherlands (6 servers), Germany (2 servers), Romania (2 servers), Australia, China, Malaysia, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Israel, Sweden, Panama and Ukraine. The well distributed server network makes it easy to unlock location based services like BBC iPlayer, Vudu, Amazon Video, Hulu, iTVPlayer, CTV, ABC, Fox, HBO Go, Xfinity, CBS, Pandora, Spotify, Rara, Zattoo and Netflix from any country in the world. The service works flawlessly in countries like China, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Thailand, UAE and Bahrain and allows you to unblock Facebook, Skype, Twitter, YouTube, Blogger, Gmail etc. even if the sites are blocked by local ISPs. The company also allows you to switch servers at any time without paying any additional fees.

Speed and Bandwidth

Perfect Privacy offers unlimited speeds through its high capacity servers (up to 2000 MBPS). While the company does not impose any kind of bandwidth limit, it does recommend keeping monthly bandwidth within 100 GB per month limit. However, the monthly limit is only applicable for peak hour traffic so theoretically you can get unlimited bandwidth if you are willing to use the service during non-peak hours (11 PM – 7AM). The company has classified its VPN servers as limited traffic, semi-limited traffic and unlimited traffic servers. It is recommended that you use limited traffic servers for browsing, telnet, messaging and SSH and unlimited traffic servers for bandwidth heavy services like P2P, VOIP, video conferencing, Usenet and Online streaming. Further, the company also recommends that you keep the limited traffic server usage below 25% of your total monthly bandwidth.

Privacy Settings

Perfect Privacy does not keep logs of user activities. The company uses 4096 bit encryption key with AES-256 bit encryption for OpenVPN protocol and MPPE-128 bit encryption for PPTP protocol. The encryption is good enough to protect most online activities like browsing, chatting, emailing, VOIP, P2P, Video streaming and video conferencing. The company also offers SSH Tunnels, SOCKS5 proxies as well as Squid proxies with every VPN subscription for added protection and to secure stand alone applications. The company does not sell or rent user information to advertisers or third parties.

Supported Systems

Perfect Privacy offers a proprietary VPN software that allows you to secure Linux, Windows and Mac based systems. The company also offers Windows based SSH Tunnel and pre configured softwares to secure Firefox or Thunderbird. The service is also available for Android Smartphones, iPads and iPhones through the PPTP VPN protocol. The setup is easy and even VPN novices should have no problem in setting up the service. Since the company provides free SOCKS 5 proxies with every subscription, you can use them in conjunction with VPN to further anonymize your online activities.

Customer Support

Perfect Privacy offers 24/7 support through an email based ticket system. The official website of the company includes a blog, forum and an extensive members area with detailed setup and troubleshooting instructions that provides quick answers to important installation and configuration issues.
