There were 2 main reasons for me to use tuvpn

1) they claim not to retain server logs

2) you can pay via an anonymous cash service in the uk called ‘ukash’ which you can buy in many corner shops in the uk with cold hard cash

Download speeds have been acceptable

The only negative is that some websites have blocked my tuvpn ip address

Allow us to put your mind to rest and provide a little history lesson for
you and other readers. Perhaps not as exciting or spicy as you would like,
and a story that many businesses could tell.

TUVPN.COM was designed by Spanish system architects with careers in system
security. In January of this year (4 months after going live), as part of a
corporate and operational restructuring, the VPN network was transferred
from an incubator to a privately owned Singaporean registered company under
the same management. This restructuring established the business in its own
right and on more solid footing for the future. The Singapore domicile was
chosen for its support of growing businesses, and established legal
(including privacy and data security laws) and banking systems. Only
finance, administrative and corporate functions are carried out in
Singapore.

We have proud ties to our Spanish routes but have no registered entity
presence in Spain. Operationally, we have VPN servers in Madrid, and senior
system architects engaged as permanent consultants based out of Barcelona…
one of which was happy to provide a contact phone number to allow for follow
up questions on the TUVPN network. Our system architect team with their long
history of network security make sure that all our customers data is safe
and secure. Remember that TUVPN.COM, like many VPN providers, does not store
or monitor data traffic of its customers. We just provide the secure ‘pipe’.
It’s a little more complicated than this, but you can read more on our Blog.

Like many businesses these days, operational resource is provided by
dedicated experts from remote offices, mainly in Europe. Established and
verified business partners also play a key role in the growth of the
business e.g Payment providers, hosting providers, website developers, seo managers,designers etc etc.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely

The Team at TUVPN.COM

Regarding my previous review/comment above concerning TUVPN being a “honeypot”/front for a 3 letter agency. I think my suspicion is being gradually shed to light.

I am not here to talk about how great or bad their services are. This is not the point of me posting this review/comment but, I am put off with the fact that they are not completely truthful with who they are.

THE FACTS:

Fact 1: I wrote them an email asking where they are actually located, they replied with this:

“Hi,

TUVPN.COM has never been registered in Spain. Spanish individuals were involved during first stages of the project. Now it is managed by an international team and registered in Singapore.

Hope this answers your question.

Regards,

TUVPN.COM Team”

TUVPN Team: The above did not answer my question.

(I can provide a screenshot of the full email).

Fact 2: They’ve been mentioned in a Spanish publication (http://www.publico.es/espana/272924/un-proyecto-espanol-ofrece-navegacion-anonima) as a Spanish company based in Barcelona.

Fact 3: If they where transferred/sold to a Singapore company. When was it? Why didn’t they mention it to consumers on their blog, Twitter or Facebook page – stating that they changed management? Is it supposed to be a secret???
I don’t think so, it is a piece of information that is newsworthy.

Fact 4: They claim no ties to Spain but, most of the language on their confirmation messages (order, contact, welcome emails, log on details), are all in Spanish language ONLY (No English translation).
Why haven’t they gotten rid of all the Spanish on their website if they are now Singaporean? As I write this, they still blog in Spanish language.

Fact 5: They claim they do not have any Spanish ties above but, most of the press releases they’ve put out has a Singapore address and a Spanish phone number: 0034933905455 (Barcelona to be precise).
Do a Google search for “tuvpn press releases” and you will see what I mean. Also do a search for the phone number as well. One example of their numerous press releases: http://www.prlog.org/10536207-tuvpncom-expands-its-internet-privacy-security-services.html

Fact 6: They claimed in their email reply to me (above) that “TUVPN.COM has never been registered in Spain” but, the following lines where found all over their press releases: “TUVPN.COM’s head office is located in Singapore, while its operational team is located in Europe”.

Please do your due diligence before considering signing up with this people (whoever they are).

No VPN company can be trusted but, in my opinion: A company that is not truthful about who they are is more dangerous than a viper…I would avoid.

Before people start attacking me, please know that I am no competitor, I do not own a VPN company, I am just a consumer. I just want them (TUVPN) to throw more light on the facts outlined above.

Everything on their website talks and smells Spanish/European but, they claim to be from Singapore.

This has been putting me off from Signing up. Can anyone shed more light on this?

Overall, I think that if they are more transparent with who they really are, their service will be worthwhile.

Choice of servers is great (wouldn’t need even so many, don’t think I will ever use the Kuala Lumpur one).

OpenVPN + PPTP + Squid is all I can need to cover my laptop, my iphone and casual browsing.

And most important, third VPN provider I try and SPEED really makes a difference with tuvpn. Maybe they don’t have too many customers and so servers not crowded but so far speed is simply amazing compared to some other services I can’t mention.

Somewhat expensive in short term plans but a good deal anyhow.

Also they do not mention anywhere before you register that on 3 of their servers (England, US, Switzerland) all P2P traffic is banned on them. You can see that only after you register…

Using the service is not that easy either – you have to edit config files in openvpn to change the server you want to connect to. Also, they generate a separate user name and password for the vpn, different from the one you use for the site, and the user name has a bunch of random characters in it, you cannot change it and have to input it every time you connect (because openvpn does not store it).

And no matter what “money back guarantee” they claim to have – they still have not cancelled my service and returned my money, despite me being well within the specified terms for it and my multiple attempts…
