What We Like

What We Don't Like

  • Limited servers: Privado has hundreds of servers in 45 countries – that’s meager in comparison to the competition. Before buying, take a look at Privado’s server locations and make sure it’s available in countries you want to connect to.
  • Inconsistent unblocking: If you’re looking for a VPN to unblock content from different streaming sites, Privado may not be it. It worked on Netflix, but Prime Video and Hulu easily detected it.
  • Slow P2P speeds: P2P connections (such as torrents) are configured differently, and although we were able to download torrent using Privado VPN, the speed was less than optimal.

Bottom Line

We liked Privado’s free VPN. It offers plenty of server locations (10 countries) and a generous bandwidth limit (10 GB per month). Of course, the premium version is better than the free one, but seeing that it has limited servers and inconsistent unblocking ability, it didn’t make our list of the best VPNs.
