Unfortunately, there is no longer a free trial option with this VPN. But they do offer a 30-day trial period for just a dollar. And, VPNSecure does offer some nice extras. One of them is that you can choose your level of encryption (which they call a “cipher”) as a way to control your speed. If you want less encryption and more speed, you can scale back the encryption. If you want the most encryption possible, then you can sacrifice some Internet speed. The main benefit to any VPN service is protecting your IP address, your internet connection, and—let’s be honest—our Netflix viewing. With a VPN app like VPNSecure you don’t have to think about a DNS leak, using an HTTP proxy, or obscuring your internet in some other way. It all happens on the fly using a remote VPN server. You can rely on the Android VPN app on your mobile device, connecting with an Apple iPhone to enjoy unlimited bandwidth, and use the app on multiple devices for simultaneous secure connections. That said, the three-year pricing plan is quite reasonable. It figures out to $2.99 per month, which is one of the most affordable pricing plans you will find for a VPN. VPNSecure offers a unique search function called MetaSearch. During our testing phase, the feature was in beta and enabled, although the company has now rolled out the feature for all users. The one caveat here is that encryption tends to slow your Internet connection speed by as much as 10-15% (with some VPN clients that use advanced encryption, the speed can lower by as much as 20-25%). The good news with VPNSecure is that you can select the level of encryption you want and therefore control the speed leveling. For example, you can select from either 128-bit AES encryption or 256-bit encryption. When you do, you can essentially pick lower security and faster speed or higher security and slower speed. You might decide you need more advanced security for a movie download but not for normal browsing on the web. VPNSecure calls this the “cipher” setting, and it’s easy to find in the main settings control panel. Prices and plans: Reasonable pricing compared to the big names
