Outside of those initial connection hiccups, the most impressive thing about VPN Unlimited was how well it worked as a background companion. At the time of review, my count had it at 57 countries spread across 76 core locations, five of which are torrenting servers, with an additional 11 servers for streaming (albeit all of them are in those 76 locations). VPN Unlimited is incredibly light on servers at 500+ across 80+ locations. There is a favourites tab, but be warned that it’s easy to accidentally click the server name rather than the star, so you’ll reconnect rather than favourite (single click is convenient for server switching, but less so for favouriting). Switching servers is incredibly straightforward: just click on the name of the server, then pick from all servers, torrent or streaming tabs. There is a small window between disconnection and your ability to reconnect, so you’re better off switching servers while you’re still connected. Unfortunately, switching servers did tend to interrupt real-time internet services like music streaming. When it works normally, though, VPN Unlimited takes about five seconds to connect and disconnects immediately. There were other initial hiccups, too, including a disconnection shortly after the first time I connected, followed by an elongated connection time. What was less impressive was a pop-up during my first connection that prompted me to rate the connection I’d only just started. For the most part, the Android app is identical to the Windows experience. The bulk of my tests were via the VPN Unlimited Windows software, and there’s also a Windows Store app for PC users if you prefer. Once you’re signed up, VPN Unlimited prompts you to select the device you’re looking to install the service on, then you can read a manual or follow the steps. VPN Unlimited has one of the best and most user-friendly VPN onboarding experiences.
