Signing in can be difficult, as the website allows creating passwords which aren't supported by the login process. We spotted nothing harmful, and so while we'd like to know what the V2ray files are for, we'll treat this as simply 'unexplained' rather than any kind of issue. Normally we wouldn't have been too concerned, but given our lack of trust in VPN Proxy Master, we spent a while monitoring the files and the app's connections. It's a very good package, but we're unsure why it's included here, especially when there's no mention of any related features on VPN Proxy Master's site. This enables managing obfuscated connections outside of the VPN using several protocols (Socks, HTTP, Shadowsocks, VMess).

It's easy to assume that's your only option, but click the tiny Back arrow at the top-left of the window and you're able to use the basic free service.Ĭhecking the app files, we found some binaries from Project V (opens in new tab).

The Windows app downloads and installs easily, then displays a window suggesting you purchase a commercial plan. The Windows app is very basic (Image credit: VPN Proxy Master) Apps By representing other company's text as its own, VPN Proxy Master is neither, and we see no reason to trust it at all. If it wants to earn your trust, it's vital the company is open and transparent.
Unless a VPN has gone through a security audit, the privacy policy and no-logging claims are the only indicators of what the service might be doing. VPN Proxy Master has added some text of its own, but it's so awkwardly phrased and tricky to understand – 'Our VPN APP is a non-obligatory log network' – that you can see why it might have 'borrowed' content from elsewhere. Maybe the terms and conditions displayed when installing the Windows app would be more useful? There are certainly many more quote-worthy clauses: 'We do not log any user activity (sites visited, DNS lookups, emails etc.) We only log access attempts to our servers (for security and troubleshooting).'īut returning to Google, we found many of these are also used by numerous small VPNs, and most likely come from a PureVPN privacy policy of several years ago. If you put those lines into Google, you find they're taken directly from ExpressVPN's own privacy policy. While that sounds great, there's, well, a problem. We also never store connection logs, i.e., no logs of your IP address, your outgoing VPN IP address, connection timestamp, or session duration." The VPN Proxy Master privacy policy (opens in new tab) includes plenty of detail on its logging policy, stating: "We do not collect logs of your activity, including no logging of browsing history, traffic destination, data content, or DNS queries. We weren't impressed by the company's support for payment methods, either: PayPal, and, oh, wait – just PayPal.Ĭompare VPN Proxy Master with big-name competitors, who typically have more features, better transparency, larger networks and more, and the service is left looking distinctly underpowered and overpriced.Ĭopying another VPN provider's privacy policy is a major black mark against VPN Proxy Master (Image credit: VPN Proxy Master) Privacy

Monthly (opens in new tab) prices are steep at $11.99, but choose the annual plan (opens in new tab) and this plummets to $3.89, and there's a free seven-day trial on offer if you sign up via mobile.īeware, though, despite VPN Proxy Master claiming you can use the package with multiple devices, this doesn't apply across platforms: sign up via Android, say, and you can't then use the same account with your iOS devices. If you need more, upgrading to the paid VIP service drops the ads and gets you access to faster servers. You can use the service as much as you like. There are no annoying bandwidth restrictions, either.
#VPN PROXY MASTER PREMIUM PLUS#
Plus points include instant access to the network, with no signup, no usernames, and no need to hand over your email address or other personal details.
There are animated icons begging to be clicked, full-screen video ads which demand you "wait 5 seconds to skip", another ad embedded in the Disconnect dialog – and unexpected notifications if you've left the service turned off. As long as you can live with the ads, anyway, because there are plenty.
If you're using the free service, you might forgive this kind of detail. The map of server coverage is misleading (Image credit: VPN Proxy Master)
