Before I get started with this review I'd like to let everyone know that this morning I was contacted by VPN.sh and asked if I wanted to write an honest review for a small amount of account credit. I accepted the offer. So this is a compensated, but honest review of VPN.sh.
A history of my VPN usage
I have for a very long time always had some sort of VPN connection available to me. Many years ago I used companies like StrongVPN, Astrill, and Private Internet Access. All three of those companies are great, but once I started to get into the whole VPS scene I started simply setting up a VPN server along side of the web stack. It didn't use a whole lot more memory, and it was a lot cheaper.
As I have become more and more reliant on LEB providers, I ended up needing to have a separate KVM VPS around to keep my VPN up and running. This is especially the case as I have found that OpenVZ doesn't play nicely with certain types of VPN's like L2TP/IPSec. Those few dollars a month for the KVM box still cost less than a VPN from a provider like StrongVPN, so I just stuck with the KVM VPS.
A new and interesting VPN provider
Back in March I saw a very interesting offer on LET. A 100GB VPN from a brand new provider for just $20/year (less than $2/month). There was one location (Chicago), and it only supported PPTP and OpenVPN. It didn't have the L2TP/IPSec I needed, but the price was incredibly low so I decided to give it a try.
The Chicago location is fairly close to me so performance was as you would expect from a VPN. I'm not constantly using my VPN but when I do use it the VPN is always up and is always giving me good VPN speeds. What I really didn't like was that I couldn't use it on devices like my Chromebook which don't support OpenVPN very well, and don't support PPTP at all.
They pay very close attention to feedback
I eventually ended up letting Liam know that I wanted to see L2TP support so that I could use the VPN on all of my devices. It took a few weeks but I ended up getting a private message from him announcing that there was a new node in the UK that supported L2TP and that he was planning to have L2TP in a new node in Chicago shortly. I was surprised and really happy that he listened to my feedback and ended up offering L2TP support.
In that message he also asked me if there were any locations that I would like to see a VPN in. Many of those locations are now part of the fifteen locations offered by VPN.sh.
That is the thing that I like most about VPN.sh. They are very open to suggestions and feedback. Even better is how they actually work to turn those suggestions into features very quickly. They are constantly asking people what they would like to see in the future with VPN.sh.
Conclusion
So, in conclusion, I really recommend VPN.sh for anyone looking to have access to a VPN connection in various different places for a very low price. They currently offer two VPN plans 20GB for
