Owner Information Technology and Services ### "Very good VPN" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 8, 2022 Pros Private VPN is my all time favorite VPN. Their services has never failed me with the 3 years that I have been with them. Their systems are fully available and they offer several different ways to connect whether through the manual input in the network settings or by using their software which works flawlessly. They also keep the data private unlike other VPNs. This is the best budget friendly VPN that works great that I have found. Cons No Cons. This thing works as promised. It is not junk. Switched from [Atlas VPN](https://www.capterra.com/p/214423/Atlas-VPN/) While Atlas VPN was cheaper I ended up canceling and getting my money back from them because their service and software worked poorly. It was very difficult getting connected to a server. Atlas only allows you to connect through the use of their software as well. It legitimately was the worst that I have personally seen.
