When the app did say up for a while, we opened a browser to run some tests, but weren't able to access any websites. We reinstalled, it apparently connected, but the VPN dropped after around 30 seconds. We tried to use the app, but with little success.

It only got worse when the app told us we only had a limited free account, despite paying proXPN's inflated prices only moments earlier. These are all useful options, but there's no reason to have them visible all the time, and it would make much more sense to tuck them away on another tab.

There's your username and password, a choice of protocol (OpenVPN, L2TP, PPTP), UDP and TCP options, an Upgrade button, a couple of startup settings, and a text panel with a log of your OpenVPN connection status.

ProXPN's Windows client ignores all that, and crams its opening screen with unnecessary extras. Most modern VPN clients open with a stripped-back console that makes it as easy as possible to use the service: choose a location, click a Connect button, and you're done. ProXPN's Windows client foregoes the clean design of most other modern VPN apps (Image credit: proXPN) Apps Or, in other words, you've trusted proXPN with your security, and without your knowledge (and maybe even its own), it's redirected you from its site, to a domain controlled by someone else, where (through ad servers) you could be exposed to, well, your guess is as good as ours. We noticed 'Knowledgebase', 'Support Ticket' or 'Help Center' links, but they all took us to a page saying, 'requests to the server have been blocked by an extension.' On investigation, it looks like the links pointed to a domain previously used by proXPN, which has since expired, presumably been registered by someone else, and now hosts VPN and other ads. There are no obvious setup guides or installation instructions, for instance.

Signing up for proXPN was easy enough, and within a few seconds the website redirected us to its Member Area, just about as unimpressive an account page as we've ever seen.

The Canary Policy states that 'as of we've not had any gag orders relating to our users or our IP's', for instance, while the document was otherwise dated 'July 20th, 2015.' If the company has 'forgotten' to update its Canary statement for years, it seems at least possible that other updates might also have been missed. We have no reason to doubt proXPN, but the dates on the policy are a concern. You're left to take these claims on trust. While that sounds good, as usual with small VPNs, there's no way for anyone to tell whether the company lives up to its promises. What we don’t collect cannot be requested.' We do not keep logs of connection times, activity, or origin IPs. only collects your sign-up information, email, and password. In this case, proXPN just might get away with it, as the company claims it doesn't log anything, at all. ProXPN's privacy policy (opens in new tab) is shorter than most at under 200 words, and that's often a problem, as there's just not the space to properly explain what a company is doing. Plus, proXPN never logs your online movements, so no one can ever track you or steal vital personal data.The company tried to win us back with a free plan (opens in new tab), although it's very basic, with very few locations and a minimal allowance of just 500MB data a month.
