I had better luck with the Mac app but it, too, frequently refused to connect. I disabled the Windows Firewall, thinking that might be causing a problem (even though it didn’t with the four other VPNs we recently tested), but the problem persisted. In the evening, my odds of establishing a connection were worse. Some afternoons, I was able to connect with no issues. Your mileage will inevitably vary, depending on your location and the location of the gaming server to which you are connected.īefore we get to the test results, I must begin by stating that throughout my testing TigerVPN had difficulty establishing a connection. Throughout my testing TigerVPN had difficulty establishing a connection.Routing your Web traffic through a server adds a detour that can slow down the speed of your network connection, but in some circumstances it can actually improve your ping by connecting you to a fast server close to the gaming server. Unlike the other services I reviewed, TigerVPN does not feature a kill switch that shuts down your Internet connection if the VPN gets disconnected. In my testing it did not block Netflix, at least from my location in the U.S. TigerVPN's privacy policy states that it does not log your Internet traffic and allows P2P traffic. (UDP is faster but is blocked more frequently in countries such as China.) The only protocol change you can make within the app is checking a box for TCP override, which uses TCP instead of the default UDP protocol. TigerVPN supports OpenVPN, IPSec L2TP and PPTP protocols, but you’ll need to follow the instructions from TigerVPN’s knowledge base to set up a manual connection in Windows to use either IPSec L2TP or PPTP. PureVPN, for example, has 750 servers in 141 countries, TorGuard has 1,600 servers in 50 countries, and VyprVPN has 700 servers in 64 countries. Although there are exceptions, in general the more servers a VPN service offers, the better your chances of finding an uncrowded, fast connection. TigerVPN has 300 servers in 63 locations across 43 countries, which is considerable fewer than the other VPNs we evaluated this week. You can mark servers as favorites, which makes it easier to return to the servers you found to be the faster or most reliable. In settings, you can uncheck a box to sort by name, which reorders the list I assume by ping but the app doesn’t show you the estimated ping of each server. You can also browse an alphabetical list or search for a server. The app lets you connect to a recommended server, which is the fastest servers TigerVPN can find based on your location. TigerVPN installs a desktop shortcut but when you click on it to launch the app, it makes you chase your tail a bit and find the app’s icon in your system tray to launch the app. In the UK? Get TigerVPN from £2.00 per month here. I used the Windows and Mac apps for my tests. TigerVPN has apps for Windows and Macs as well as Android and iOS devices. Payment options include credit card, PayPal, Bitcoin, and Paymentwall, but you can’t pay anonymously with a gift card as you can on other services. The plans allows five simultaneous connections and you can earn hokey “Karma points” by following or mentioning TigerVPN on social media to earn extra connections. The plans feature a seven-day, money-back guarantee. This annual price is closer to average, but still slightly more than several of Tiger's competitors. The monthly price drops to $8.33 a month if you signed up for six months or $6.67 a month if you sign up for a year. Like other the services - PureVPN, NordVPN, TorGuard, and TigerVPN - TigerVPN offers discounts if you sign up for six months or a year. The price of the month-to-month plan of $11.99 is the highest monthly cost of the five VPNs I reviewed this time around. Let's see how it stacked up to the competition. TigerVPN is a VPN with cute tiger-based iconography that bills itself as a "global" service good for unlocking geo-restrictions and enhancing privacy, like other VPNs essentially.
