Also, since the company allows unlimited number of server switches, you would be able to access local content and On-Demand services from several different countries with just one VPN subscription.

VPN Speed and Bandwidth

VPN One Click does not throttle speed or restrict bandwidth in any way. The company’s VPN solution is tailor made for demanding activities like streaming, downloading, torrenting, VOIP and multiplayer gaming. The company permits P2P sessions from a limited number of servers so it is possible to hide one’s bittorrenting sessions from the authorities.

Privacy Settings

VPN One Click protects your online sessions with 128 bit (PPTP) or 256 bit (L2TP) encryption. The service uses encryption and tunneling features to secure banking, shopping and social networking sessions and even provides security for multiple types of online activities (browsing, FTP, VOIP, emailing, messaging). Customers who connect to unsecured Wi-Fi networks on a regular basis would be delighted to learn that the service provides a robust protection against hackers and sneaky programs that often steal data and money through Wi-Fi hotspots installed at malls, airports, coffee shops and hotels. VPN One Click respects the privacy of its customers. The company does not ask for personal data during the signup process or log traffic details. Furthermore, the company does not share subscriber data with third parties or advertisers.

Supported Operating Systems

VPN One Click is compatible with Windows, Linux (Debian and Ubuntu), Mac OS X, iPads, iPhones and Android. The service can even be used on gaming consoles (PS3, Wii, Xbox), Smart TVs, Apple TV and Amazon Kindle through Raspberry Pi routers. The company provides an easy to use VPN app for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android OS. What’s more, the service offers protection from viruses, malwares and spywares through a virtual firewall plus it even provides free proxies to all customers.

Customer Support

The company offers customer support through live chat (18 hours a day), tickets and remote desktop. The company has even published a wizard based troubleshooting guide on its website so that customers can resolve common errors quickly. Speaking of the company’s website, it is only accessible if you use the secure protocol (https) in the URL (simply typing vpnoneclick.com does not load the site) so make sure to check the address if you are not able to access the site.

Pricing Options

VPN One Click offers device and OS specific VPN plans. The unlimited plan for computers (Windows, Mac or Linux) is available for $2.99 per month ($19.99 per year), the iOS plan costs $1.99 per month ($9.99 per year) whereas the Android plan starts from $4.99 for 3 months ($9.99 per year). The plans are non-transferable so you won’t be able to use your Mac plan on your iPads or iPhones. On the plus side, the company offers free trials that provide access to Europe based servers for all devices (limited time trial for Mac and iOS, unlimited time trial for Windows/Android/Linux). .

Final Verdict

Overall, VPN One Click delivers a reliable VPN service. While the company’s website looks outdated, its Android and iOS apps have received good feedback from the customers.
