User Reviews/Opinion:
- Just set up my first openvpn server on a cloud machine and tried a few other popular opevpn clients and they were super slow for me on the downlink side. from 70mbps down to 30 or even 5mbps… with this client i get pretty much my full internet speed!!! 70 mbps!! awesome! found what i needed
- Essential app. This allows me to keep my phone connected to my home VPN with the minimum of fuss and maximum flexibility. Just one extra feature I’d like, though, is the ability to nominate some connected WiFi SSIDs (or BSSID MAC addresses) as triggering the VPN to pause.
- Imported my client configuration file even though it had some non-standard options. Very robust easy to see what is going on. Overall a great experience.
