AtlasVPN Review

Ease of Use

Customers and tech journals report that AtlasVPN is simple to use. We signed up for the free version of the AtlasVPN app and we were up and running nearly instantly. But if you have trouble with any aspect of using the service, the company offers 24/7 support via online chat. Many of the consumer reviews we've read on AtlasVPN report receiving excellent technical assistance through the live chat feature on the company's website.

Incidentally, to sign up for free version of AtlasVPN, service, you do not need to provide any credit card information or personal data beyond an email address. You can opt out of receiving promotional emails, too. There's no financial risk involved in trying the company's free service, of course, and all premium plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Security and Availability

When you subscribe to an AtlasVPN plan, your anonymity is well-protected. The company operates what it calls SafeSwap servers. When you log on to your VPN, your outgoing internet traffic is routed through a range of different IP addresses. With SafeSwap, IP addresses change automatically change between online sessions. This continuous server rotation makes your online activity more difficult to track.

Along with your AtlasVPN paid subscription comes several other security features. When you use the company's service, you have the option of enabling the SafeBrowse feature, which protects you by blocking websites that are known to host malicious content. As such, you're less subject to phishing, malware, or viruses. SafeBrowse disables third-party trackers and identifies which entities are trying to track you, as well.

Atlas VPN operates across more than 750 services in 40 different countries. That helps guarantee fast download speeds no matter where you use its VPN services, your download speeds remain high.

Performance

AtlasVPN delivers top download speeds of 80 Mbps and 50 Mbps upload speeds. If you use the SafeSwap feature, your speeds will be lower because SafeSwap servers are located in just three countries: the Netherlands, Singapore, and the US. Unlike some VPNs, AtlasVPN doesn't automatically connect you to the fastest server available, so you'll have to be mindful of choosing the server(s) you connect to. Choose the server nearest your location for your best speeds.

Pricing and Reputation

AtlasVPN offers a generous free service, as well as premium plans for a fee. Premium service is very affordable. Currently, if you sign up for a three-year plan, you'll pay just $1.83 per month. With a one-year plan, you'll pay $4.06 per month. If you feel you only need to use a VPN for a brief time—such as when you visit a country that sharply restricts internet access—you can buy a month's worth of service for $10.99. Each plan comes with unlimited data and can be used across all of your devices simultaneously.
