Planet VPN review, free download

 

Planet VPN offers both free and paid versions of its product, for computers and smartphones. All options promise the same speed service without traffic volume limits, no logging of user actions and 24-hour technical support via e-mail.

To be fair, it should be noted that in the free version, the connection speed can jump quite a lot, apparently depending on the number of people connected through this server. Therefore, it is better to choose a server in a country that is closer (geographically). But even so, video, for example, may play with a delay.

However, in general, VPN performs its functions well even in the free version - the servers are accessible and the connection is not interrupted.
The free version does not require authorization; the paid version requires registration, which is understandable. After payment, a trial period of 30 days is possible, during which, if you don’t like the service, you will get your money back without any conditions.
