SuperVPN Free VPN

A Fast, Free And Effective VPN.

SuperVPN Free VPN Client is a one-tap VPN client that provides access to SuperVPN's 'virtual private network', a place on the Internet through which you can route everything you to do avoid online spying and get around Internet filters. Compared to other VPNs, SuperVPN's client is easy to use and free. It stacks up fairly well in some other respects, too.

Performance.

SuperVPN's lengthy permissions list makes it a little scary to install, but it's our job to take these risks, so we tapped the Install button and the app was ready to go in seconds.

We couldn't miss the ads. The app opened with a full-screen example. We cleared it, and another appeared. We tapped Continue and were taken to the main app screen, which had an embedded ad. We clicked Connect > Cancel and encountered two further full-screen pop-ups: one showed an app on Google Play, the other was a browser window. We closed those, too.

Look in between the ads and you'll find a very simple VPN client. A Connect button gets you a connection to the nearest location (France, Germany, Canada, US), or a menu enables selecting it manually, and one tap disconnects you when you're done. There's nothing else to learn, and not an option or configuration setting in sight.

The underlying technology seems to be much the same as most other VPN apps. SuperVPN adds a standard VPN connection to the Settings > Wireless & networks > VPN list, and calls it up on demand.

We chose France, clicked Connect, and cleared another full-screen ad. The display had started a 60-day countdown, although we're unsure why. Perhaps you now get a 60-day trial, rather than a 20-day affair.

Our speed tests* showed UK to France connections delivering 18-22Mbps, Germany around 12Mbps, the US reaching 9Mbps and Canada struggling to 8Mbps. That's nothing special, but it's what you might expect from a free service, and is enough for basic browsing and streaming on the move.

SuperVPN's site unblocking abilities were also no more than average. It got us access to YouTube and Comedy Central, but Netflix detected an ‘unblocker’ and refused to play.

Whatever we might think about its other issues, SuperVPN delivered on our final leak tests. We used ipleak.net, doileak.com and other sites to analyze our connection, and they couldn't find any giveaway leaks or clues to our real identity.
