What We Like

What We Don't Like

  • Limited server network: Private VPN has only about 200 servers, which can result in traffic congestion at times.
  • No split tunneling: Private VPN lacks a split tunneling feature, which means you’ll need to switch the VPN on and off if you’re using apps that are not VPN-friendly.
  • WireGuard manual setup: If you want to use WireGuard as your VPN protocol, you’ll need to set it up manually since it’s not supported natively on the app.

Bottom Line

Private VPN flies under the radar, but it’s a reliable — albeit simplistic — VPN. Its straightforward nature is sometimes a strength, but its lack of advanced features like split tunneling can severely limit the VPN experience of advanced users.
