TurnkeyVPN is a privacy solution from TurnKey Internet Inc., a New York based company. TurnKey Internet Inc. is an end-to-end security and IT service provider which offers dedicated servers, email marketing services, web conferencing facilities, backup solutions as well as reseller and co-location services to businesses and home users. This TurnkeyVPN Review will discuss the features of TurnkeyVPN and reveal whether one should subscribe to it.

Server Locations and Site Access

As of now, TurnkeyVPN has VPN gateways in just 2 countries – United States and United Kingdom. The service is perfect for US and UK expats who wish to unlock local content from their home countries as well as for citizens from other locations who wish to bypass local censorship. With your TurnkeyVPN subscription, you would be able to unblock On-Demand services like Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Sky Go, Pandora, MLB, Lovefilm, Demand 5, USA Network, Eurosport, Amazon Prime, Xfinity, UK TV, NBC, NHL, iTV Player, CWTV, TNT, Hulu, FOX, 4OD, HBO Go, CBS, Vudu, STV, Vevo and MTV from anywhere in the world. In addition, the service allows you to access frequently blocked sites and services such as Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, YouTube and Viber from countries such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, China, Brazil and Thailand. With TurnkeyVPN, there is no restriction on server switching so you are free to access content from both UK and US with just one subscription.

VPN Speed and Bandwidth

TurnkeyVPN offers 10 – 50 MBPS speed and 50 GB/month to unlimited bandwidth to its users. Although the speed and bandwidth is restricted, it is sufficient even for demanding activities like streaming of HD content, downloading, multiplayer gaming and VOIP. Torrent lovers would be disappointed to learn that the company doesn’t permit torrenting activities through its network.

Privacy Settings

TurnkeyVPN provides 128-256 bit encryption through PPTP and OpenVPN protocols. The 256 bit encryption is used by military and government organizations to secure their data and it provides unbeatable level of security and privacy for your online activities. By using the service, you can not only protect your sensitive data (passwords and financial transactions) from hacking at Wi-Fi hotspots but also secure all kinds of online activities (IM, email, FTP, VOIP) from organizational and government snooping.

TurnkeyVPN respects the privacy of its customers. While the company does not spy on the online activities of its subscribers, it will co-operate with law enforcement agencies if there is a legal request involved.

Supported Operating Systems

TurnkeyVPN works with a wide variety of devices and operating systems including Windows (2000, XP, Vista, 7), Mac, iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone, Palm OS, Android, Blackberry, Nokia phones, Linux, Symbian and Windows Mobile. The company does not offer a custom-made client so you would need to configure the service manually. However, the company has published excellent instructions for manual configuration so setting up the service shouldn’t be problematic for anyone.

Customer Support

TurnkeyVPN offers customer support through live chat, phone and helpdesk. For those who love to solve technical problems on their own, the company has also published lots of articles in its knowledgebase section.

Pricing Options

TurnkeyVPN offer 2 different plans for home users – Personal and Personal Plus. The Personal plan offers 128 bit encryption with 10 MBPS speed and 50 GB bandwidth while the Personal Plus plan includes 256 bit encryption, 50 MBPS speeds and unlimited bandwidth. The monthly subscription cost for these two plans is $4.95 and $9.95 per month respectively. The company also offers business VPN plans for small and medium sized businesses starting from $39.95 per month. The company does not offer trial accounts but it does protect your investment with a 7 day money back guarantee.

Overall, TurnkeyVPN delivers on most counts. While we agree that company offers gateways in very few countries, the service doesn’t compromise on performance and security.
