Golden Frog VyprVPN VPN Service

Giganews partnered with Golden Frog to bring customers the extra benefits of adding VPN and Online storage to their accounts, providing bundled packages for consumers and businesses.

Since I am listed on both companies’ Affiliates programs, this review will focus on the Golden Frog VPN Service plan called: ‘Vyprvpn premium’ bundled with an excellent selection of features. Golden Frog’s VyprVPN plans offer software support, documentation, and high-level encryption.

Their Chameleon technology uses unmodified OpenVPN 256-bit protocol, which scrambles the metadata to prevent DPI; VPN is blocking and throttling, beneficial option to use in countries with “high-level censorship”.

   Final Words

• Test results may vary according to the following conditions: Server Loads, ISP, etc.
• Switching between VPN Servers worked fast and smoothly.
• The general results were very good. I did experience slowness using the Chameleon protocol, My guess is that it’s maybe related to ISP throttling or routing issues.
