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.
I've been using VyprVPN for a year. For the most part, I'm pleased with it. Internet speed loss because of the VPN overhead is typically no more than 10%. I'm OK with that. I can connect to any of the global servers quite easily. While I like using the Chameleon protocol, what they don't tell you is that it does not work in all countries. Canada is one where Chameleon is not supported. I'm not sure what that is but in my mind that smacks of misleading advertising when they promote their own security protocol and don't tell you there are restrictions. After three months of service, the installed app stopped working after a Windows update. After 4 days of no service, I contacted tech support. They suggested there was a problem with my PC. Yeah, right. It was a year-old powerhouse Dell with all kinds of security. My PC was fine. Then they said I should reinstall. I had already done that 4 times but to humor them, I did it again. No joy. I asked if they had a detailed manual process to eliminate all traces of Vypr before another install and they didn't know what I was talking about. Sheesh, when I was a tech at HP, we had a process to totally eliminate all traces of HP software and had to do it because the HP engineers did a terrible job on the uninstall application. I digress. At that point, I was told that they had no other complaints after the Windows update and that I'd have to setup Vypr manually and launch it manually each time I booted the PC. I was greatly annoyed at this "cop-out", but did it as I had wasted too much time already. For four months I restarted the software manually. Then one day I decided to uninstall and do a detailed cleaning of my system then reinstall. Voila! It worked again! Of course, there had been a few more Windows updates in those months. My conclusion is that the tech support knew there was an issue but did not want to admit it so I was inconvenienced for a few months. At least the software auto starts again. My three stars reflect the less than impressive tech support.
Been a VyperVPN user for multiple years(5-6 years), but the last 1 to 3 months, While connected to ANY US or international servers Outlook is unable to send an outbound email. ERROR is RBL restriction: Blacklisted by internal Reputation service (there follow multiple IP addresses listed, right now the IP is 290.160.113.43. But there have been several other IPs listed. I have worked with Tech support to resolve it but all suggestions have failed. One tech suggested changing my ISP, ??? It has only affected OUTGOING. incoming is good. One tech said, "Yeah, we know about the blacklist, and are working on it. 2 days later it was working, only to fail the same day with the same error. As soon as I disconnect my VPN it sends without ANY issue.
