VPN technology eliminates geographic restrictions on viewing sites, and provides security and privacy of the Internet. Betternet company offers absolutely free VPN without registration, traffic restrictions or connection speed. The service is available through the app for Android and iOS, a program for Windows and extensions for Chrome or Firefox.

The very name of the service suggests that Betternet - collective image of a network in which there is no place of government surveillance, hacker attacks, censorship contrived and annoying ads. At the forefront - the anonymity and freedom of choice. Your data is not stored anywhere, and information is encrypted from start to finish, which together provide the proper level of privacy.

Sounds too good to be true? And so I thought, when I first learned about Betternet. Typically, VPN services are not free, and not have to go for examples. We are already familiar with you Astrill VPN, HideMe.ru, TunnelBear. They all offer free fares with restrictions or sell a full range of options for a monthly fee. At least the money is covered by content servers and pay the salaries of professionals. And then there are associated costs and their own profit.

Betternet not chasing your ruble and provides transparent Statistics their expenses and income. From it becomes clear that the life of service is maintained by a simple affiliate program: Users are asked to download the mobile application or view a promotional video for which will receive Betternet their pennies. The company is closely monitoring this content and offer it without unnecessary obsessions.

It is important to note that the promotional offer can be ignored, and the loading is carried out only from official sources - Google Play and App Store.

Service is dynamically developing. By the results of September 2015 nearly 4.5 million people are Betternet ensure proper flow of money, and the company became the fourth consecutive month breakeven. As you can see, adopted the monetization model gives results primarily due to the constant growth of the active audience. Where so many people? The fact that a convenient Betternet available on both mobile and desktop OSes on. Supports Windows, Android, iOS, and Chrome and Firefox. By the way, OS X on the way.

I tested the app for Android, a program for Windows and the extension for Chrome. All of them are very simple. In fact there is only one switch with two modes: "Enable VPN» and «Disable VPN».

On a smartphone, and the browser channel he rose quickly and without problems, but the software for Windows repeatedly closed in emergency mode. Perhaps the program fails only in a test environment is not very stable "tens" and in other versions of Windows, everything will be fine. Check and let me know in the comments, please.

It also found other problems. Let's start with the fact that Betternet servers are located in the US and the UK. This is not enough and it is far away. Second, the transmission rate can unpleasantly surprise. I drop was about 70-80%. But it is necessary to understand that the daily service processes over 400 TB of data, distributing them among hundreds of servers. No doubt, whether the company has more money, we could choose, for example, African servers, and speed would be plenty. It all depends on whether you want a couple of times a month to see a ten-second clip or install / remove the application.

To summarize. Betternet you can discourage small geography servers and possibly low connection rate. However, toll-free, understandable, multi-platform VPN without registration, it seems to me, is more than forgivable.
