VPNReactor is a VPN company that aims to deliver safe and secure online experience to everyone. Founded in 2010, the service is brought to you by a United States based company. In the detailed review below, we check out the important features of the service and decide whether it is worth subscribing.
Server Locations and Site Access – VPNReactor has servers in 3 countries – United States (New York, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Seattle), United Kingdom and Netherlands. While the number of server locations is definitely limited, using the service would allow you to unlock location restricted sites like ABC, Fox, Hulu, 4OD, Rara, Spotify, Netflix, BBC iPlayer, CBS, iTV, NBC, Pandora, NFL, Demand 5, Vudu and Xfinity from any corner of the world. Moreover, the service is a great solution for those who are looking for ways to unlock Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, YouTube and Skype from their organizations, schools or countries like China, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Brazil etc. Since VPNReactor has a very generous server switching policy, it is possible to unlock local content from all the 3 countries mentioned above without paying additional fees.
VPN Speed and Bandwidth – VPNReactor offers turbo-charged speeds with low user to server ratio. The company does not impose any limitation on speed or bandwidth for its customers which means you are free to download huge files, make VOIP calls, play games online and stream tons of HD content without having to worry about throttling or hitting the upper bandwidth limit.
Privacy Settings – VPNReactor users a wide range of protocols including OpenVPN, SSTP, L2TP/IPSec, PPTP, SSH and StealthVPN to deliver ultra high security even from low security public Wi-Fi hotspots (common at airports, public parks, malls, coffee shops and libraries). The service uses a minimum of 128 bit encryption that is secure enough for protection of online activities like VOIP, FTP, emailing, messaging and browsing. As soon as you start using VPNReactor’s service, your entire web traffic gets encrypted which means your personal details like credit cards, passwords and social accounts remain safe from hackers and password sniffers.
The company keeps connections logs for a period of 5 days to keep their system in order and to prevent abuse of their network. The logs are regularly deleted and the user data is never handed over to third parties.
Supported Operating Systems – VPNReactor is compatible with most popular operating systems that are currently in use including Windows (7/Vista/XP), iOS (OS for iPad/iPhone), Mac OS, Linux and Android (most popular OS for Smartphones and tablets). The service even works flawlessly with DDWRT routers which means you can easily configure it for Smart TVs, PS 3, Xbox 360, Wii and other compatible devices. The company offers VPN software for Windows and Mac but for other systems you need to use the built-in VPN client. The setup and configuration is very simple and most people should be able to use the service within minutes of signing up.
Customer Support – The company offers support through email and ticket system. It is also possible to contact the support team via voicemail and the staff would get back to you through email. The company has published useful troubleshooting and configuration guides on its portal so you should be able to resolve most technical queries on your own.
Pricing Options – VPNReactor offers several VPN plans for the benefit of its customers. The most powerful VPN plan, VPN Max, provides access to all protocols and servers and its price starts from $9.99 per month. The company also offers several other plans such as VPN Pro (access to 3 US servers, no StealthVPN support), VPN Basic (access to 3 US servers, no L2TP and StealthVPN support) and VPN Economy (access to Denver server, support for PPTP protocol only) starting from $4.99. Each plan comes with a one week free trial that allows you to test the service to your satisfaction. The company also offers a totally free VPN plan but it comes with big limitations (automatic disconnection after 30 minutes, 30 minute wait time after disconnection, support for just PPTP protocol and one US server).
Final Verdict – Overall, VPNReactor delivers a solid VPN experience. While the service is not without its limitations (limited servers, logging for 5 days), it does offer very high speeds and security due to its support for multiple protocols.
