best vpn provider.

- simultaneous login from different locations
- OpenVPN, PPTP, IPsec, SSH tunnels, Squid HTTP Proxies
- unlimited data transfer
- a lot of servers
- no logs
- great speed

they are not cheap but they offer the best vpn service you can imagine. I can not imagine to not be able to be logged in from the multiple locations at the same time or not have ssh tunnels and proxies.

Before finding Perfect Privacy, I investigated several other providers then I found that while PP isn’t the absolute cheapest provider out there, the fact is the value and service they offer put them in a class of their own:

- PP are the ONLY provider to allow users to simultaneously log on to any/every of their services. Typically other providers will boot you off their service when you try to use another one.
- PP have an incredibly broad spread of servers. As a member, you have access to nearly 50 different servers around the world.
- There is only 1 class of service: full member. That means on any/every of those 50 servers, you can access:
1. SSH2 tunnels (they even provide a dedicated client for this)
2. OpenVPN (256 bit AES) on all servers
3. PPTP on all servers
4. Proxies via both Squid and SOCKS5
5. Furthermore, some of their newer ones also provide L2TP.
6. Tor Exit nodes

Practically all of their servers are 100mbit unlimited usage. Some in the more exotic countries are 10mbps unlimited, while in the more developed countries (US, NL), you have gigabit. Speed is obviously dependent on how close you are to the nearest server, but I have sub-7ms latency to my nearest server. Even on their most congested servers (yes they have realtime reports on traffic usage), there’s no noticeable slowdown to the service. Since I use a fast machine as the basis for my router, I actually see a slight speed increase (around 11% on average) since OpenVPN’s LZO compression means more data goes through my pipe.

PP are also absolutely evangelical about privacy and freedom, and also dedicate a small amount of each server’s bandwidth to Tor for use as exit nodes. Thus if you’re a fan of Tor, you can use that in combination to your own private internet woven via OpenVPN or SSH for an anonymised service beyond comparison to any other provider.

Last but not least, there are no usage limits on PP. I for example have 4 dedicated VPNs: one to the US (where I route the entire US IP range), one to the UK (routing the UK IP’s) and one to my local server where I route the rest of the world. I also have a fourth to allow for Remote Port Forwarding and SMTP in a completely different country.

This means I can see BBC iPlayer with no ads in one window and Hulu in another without pressing a button. Name any other provider that can offer this level of freedom for the 12.50 EUR / mth (assuming 1-year package) they ask for, and you’ll quickly find that PP’s value for money is beyond comparison.

For German users:

Bin sehr zufrieden mit PP. Sie bieten deutschen und englischen Support,
sehr viele Server in verschiedenen Ländern.
Aktuell wird das Netzwerk mit Gigabit-Servern ausgestattet,
man merkt gar nicht, das ein VPN-Anbieter zwischengeschaltet ist.
Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Qualität der Serveranbindung und mit dem
Kundendienst. Ich nutze PP seit ca. 2 Jahren und möchte nicht mehr darauf verzichten.

i’ve used perfect privacy for over a year now, i initially signed on for their 1 month service and was very impressed with the speed and fast pings i received from there servers in europe along with ok pings to russia, hong konk & russia. I pretty much immediatly signed up for there 1 year service, i emailed them and they refunded me the difference between the 1 year & there 1 month service.

what can i say about their speed? is excelent, I have 14mb connection, i can max out my connection thru perfect privacy on all european servers, although at peak times this can go down to 5 or 6mb’s (not often).

when connecting outside europe, i rarly get about 8mb & the us is the worst often below 2mb, still acceptable to watch hulu,

connecting to the u.k. is very good watching iplayer is very good

I’m located in Europe and signed up recently with PP for a 1 month trial. Within 24h I got a working account. Swithing between different openvpn servers across the continent/world is easy and unlike rocksolid, I have not yet experienced any issues with unstable servers. The speed of my internet connection under openvpn is acceptable for servers in my own and neighboring countries, although a performance drop is noticeable. Still, watching streaming video from for example YouTube is not a problem. Since I genuinely care about my privacy and do not intend to use PP’s services for filesharing and the like, I find the speed more than adequate most of the time. Although during use I do of course route most of my internet traffic through PP’s servers, and thus provide them with more than enough information that can identify me to them, I like the fact that they accept anonymous payments. The I-want-to-know-everyting-about-you-and-store-it-in-my-database-virus seems, at least at this point, not to have taken control at PP. If everyting keeps functioning as it does now, I’ll consider signing up for longer.

I tried to be honest on the ratings here but the servers are so unstable its useless. I get disconnected constantly. They have several servers, but i cant log into them, only 1 works and i get disconnected once an hour. AND THIS IS IN EUROPE! Being one of the most expensive VPN’s in here, this must be a joke.

You have blacklogic and tuvpn which i think i would choose for VPN, but i have more use for a SSH-tunnel plus shell so i went for trilightzone instead. Now the line works great, i havent experienced loosing my connection yet plus better speed for a fraction of the price.

I have registered two days ago to PP for one year subscription and I got all the info to use their services 1 day after I have registered. Before them , I have used many vpn services , such as findnot , purevpn , anonyproz , trustconnect , bolehvpn e.t.c. The first thing to do was to read , there so many tutorials to read , if someones wants to effectively use their services.

My conclusion until now , is that I am standing behind three of their servers , using also my web sll vpn , traveling through the globe and still I have a decent speed. if anyone wants a vpn service to play games and watch t.v , perfect privacy is not for him. It is for people who takes their privacy very seriously.

I am glad that I have decided to subscribe to them.

Tried it for 2 days. Don’t maintain logs, but speed is BAD and won’t refund after trying it for only 2 days. Takes them 4ever to respond to you by email. Don’t waste yer money like me.
