VyprVPN has been one of the best providers in the game for years. But, its parent company, Golden Frog, was recently purchased by a US entity. With VyprVPN no longer under Swiss jurisdiction, is it still one of the leading providers?
After extensive testing, I still rank VyprVPN as a top choice. Even though it’s owned by a US company, it has a proven privacy policy that shows it doesn’t lo...

Chameleon is Amazing
I tried CyberGhost, Express, and Nord VPN over the last month. None of these were able to get by my in... stitution's Fortigate Firewall doing Deep Packet Inspection scanning. They are using some sort of Obfuscation technique but they were not good enough.
I read about VyprVpn's Chameleon protocol. YES... It worked !!!! I do have to sacrifice speed but at least I get outside access. When I am out of that environment, I switch back to Wireguard and the speed increases 300%. The price is great, their Live chat was great when I questioned their own DNS servers. They were easy to reach with the chat and took the time to explain how their DNS servers worked.
I highly recommend VyprVPN !!!More

I don't have time to...
The company behind VyprVPN, Goldenfrog claims to have taken steps to improve its reliability, security... , and quality of service. I'm not sure when they said this, however, in 2022, reliability and QoS are going downhill quickly.
I've been using Vypr for over a year with the software installed and executing on each PC. Everything worked relatively well until about three months ago when I began experiencing frequent and intermittent connectivity issues. Thinking that my 10-year-old router might be the cause, I installed a new TPLink router with all the latest technology
After many hours of side-by-side testing with two computers on the same LAN, I have observed that a PC with the VPN turned off had 100% connectivity while a PC using Vypr had the issues. I have adjusted Vypr to use various protocols and TAP adaptors with no success in improving the QoS. As such, I'm convinced that my PCs and LAN are operating as they should.
Further, from the beginning, I configured Vypr to always connect to a server in Canada. Every time I boot my PC I use "whatismyip.com" to make sure that the PC is operating through the Vypr. About half the time it connects to a server in the USA and yet the software says that it is connected to Canada. I use a couple of business online services with geolocation services that require a Canada connection so I also know when Vypr connects to the USA when I am blocked from logging in to one of the business services. IT's really annoying when the software says it's connected to Canada and yet it is not.
The biggest annoyance is that I now find I have to check my external IP every time I boot a device. Why should I have to do this? I've used other VPNs and they just worked all the time. I never had to keep checking them to make sure they are working correctly.
I've also done security testing to make sure there are no IP or DNS leaks or any other issues and it appears that Vypr lives up to its reputation of being secure. If the service would operate consistently so that I don't have to always check it or disconnect and reconnect to force a Canada server, I could give Vypr 5 stars.
Overall it's not a bad service, however, if the QoS continues to degrade, I may be forced to go back to one of the other VPNs that I've used. I don't have time to "handhold" VyprVPN.More

When mentioning VPNs, the first association is usually an app you need to download, install, and run to get a safe and private connection. InvizBox 2, on the other hand, is a stylish and compact round box-style VPN router that creates safe and encrypted networks, making it easy to protect all devices at the same time.
After using it for close to a month and running extensive tests, I can say m...

Great Security Add-on
It took almost 2 months to arrive, pretty typical for standard shipping time from the UK to the US the... se days, but it was worth the wait! I'm a ProtonVPN user and was looking for a router-based solution. I have a Peplink Surf SOHO (a wonderful home router) and earlier this year they made available an OpenVPN client that would work with ProtonVPN. Unfortunately, the CPU demands only allowed about 11-12 Mbps throughput. Pepwave makes routers better able to handle the VPN encryption/decryption but they are pretty pricey, so I started looking elsewhere.
My search ended with InvizBox. It can be purchased for use with their own VPN or purchased configured for use with several other VPNs, including ProtonVPN. It's designed to plug into an open LAN port on your primary router and it provides both 2.4 and 5 GHz wireless access points. The specs looked good so I ordered one. Installation and configuration changes went smoothly and I was up and running in less than an hour. I now have 40-50 Mbps throughput on a 75 Mbps internet connection and am very pleased. Testing for IP and DNS leaks shows rock-solid security. Highly recommended!More

Terrible customer service
Took four weeks to receive unit from Ireland. Could not log into unit with password on bottom of box n... or scan to log in. Support is email only with days delay. I was told Jayson of Invizabox support, I must have changed password but I did not since I couldn't log in. Final got a RMA but have to ship to Ireland and pay for shipping. Don't bother buying from Invizabox.Terrible support. A waste of time and money.More
