Unblock streaming sites with this VPN
BlufVPN is a VPN service based in Estonia. This security platform provides users with over 500 server locations from 60 countries that they can connect to in order to hide their identity online. The app is easy to download and install and allows users to connect to a server with a single click.
Compared to other VPN services, such as NordVPN and CyberGhost, the servers offered by BlufVPN are relatively low. However, these locations are optimized for file sharing, making them ideal for torrenting. Moreover, it can unblock geo-restrictions for streaming sites, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+.
What does the app offer?
With BlufVPN, you have a workable VPN. The app is easy to use, allowing you to connect to a server location with a simple tap. Moreover, by default, it connects you to the nearest, best-performing server. Additionally, it lets you create a list of your favorite locations, allowing you to connect to them with ease. However, there are only 500 locations. In terms of industry standards, this is pretty low.
Unlike other small VPNs, this app comes with a kill switch, ensuring that your connection is still protected during VPN service disruption. However, note that this is disabled by default. Users need to activate the feature upon launching the app. For more convenience, BlufVPN can be set to autorun, which launches the app whenever you turn on your PC. With this, you can protect your traffic all the time.
BlufVPN uses 256-bit AES encryption and offers DNS leakage protection. Moreover, it comes with three tunneling protocols—OpenVPN, IKEv2, and Wise in TCP modes—to move your traffic data safely. It also comes with a no-logging policy. Although, it processes some personal data for monitoring purposes. However, note that it can only support up to five devices per subscription. Additionally, it has poor customer service, so getting help can be an issue.
Is it worth using?
All in all, BlufVPN is an app worth checking if you are looking for a VPN alternative. The app is easy to use, fast, secure and provides a good internet connection. Even better, it can unblock geo-restrictions and is good for torrenting. However, it lacks some advanced features that other big VPNs have. It also has limited server locations. Moreover, it only allows five devices per account.
