Yes, VPNArea protects your data with industry-standard VPN security features like 256-bit AES encryption, a kill switch (available only on Windows), and a strict no-logs policy. It also includes an ad/malware blocker, double VPN servers (for routing your connection through multiple servers), and protection against IPv6, DNS, and WebRTC leaks. That said, VPNArea doesn’t have advanced security features like perfect forward secrecy or RAM memory, and it’s missing extra features like split tunneling. If you’re looking for a VPN with high-end security, I recommend ExpressVPN and Private Internet Access — they both offer RAM-only servers and perfect forward secrecy, their no-logs policies have been confirmed by an external source, and they have other robust security features.

VPNArea has fast speeds on local servers but subpar speeds on distant servers . During my tests, I barely noticed I was connected to VPNArea on local servers. However, pages and videos took much longer to load when I was connected to servers that were far away from my location, like Japan, Australia, and even countries in Europe. ExpressVPN and Private Internet Access are the fastest VPNs in the industry . They both maintain very fast speeds regardless of what server you’re connected to.

Does VPNArea work with Netflix?

Yes, VPNArea is able to consistently access Netflix . It even has servers optimized for streaming Netflix in the US, Canada, the UK, and Italy. It also consistently works with Amazon Prime Video and BBC iPlayer, but Hulu and Disney+ both recognized I was using a VPN and blocked me from streaming content. Honestly, there are better VPNs out there for streaming . My go-to VPNs for streaming are ExpressVPN and Private Internet Access because they work with a ton of streaming services, including all of the most popular ones, and have the fastest speeds.

Does VPNArea allow torrenting?

Yes, VPNArea allows torrenting on all servers in 50+ countries and works with top torrenting apps like BitTorrent, uTorrent, and Vuze. It also has full leak protection and passed all of my leak tests. However, it has slow download speeds on distant servers, the kill switch is only available on Windows, its no-logs policy hasn’t been independently audited and confirmed, and there’s no split-tunneling feature — this allows you to route only your torrent traffic through the VPN so you can get faster speeds. Instead, I prefer ExpressVPN for all of my P2P traffic. While it also works with all of the top torrent clients and has full leak protection, ExpressVPN allows torrenting on all 90+ servers , maintains super-fast speeds on all servers, provides a kill switch on all of the major operating systems (including routers), includes a verified no-logs policy, and offers split-tunneling for Android, Windows, and Macs.
