Trust.Zone VPN

Do you trust your VPN enough that it will keep your browsing history and data private, even from the VPN company itself? You should be able to. Trust is important when choosing a VPN. While encrypted and hidden from external entities, your VPN traffic will have to pass through a server operated by the company. So if the company logs traffic and IP address data, you’re not getting value for the money you paid at all.

Will you get your money’s worth from Trust.Zone? We bought a subscription to find out.

Free Trial?

A good way to personally test a VPN is by taking part in a free trial, and Trust.Zone has one. For three days, we were able to use the VPN without putting down our card details.

Note, however, that the trial is not a full free trial. For instance, we could access only 176 of the VPN’s 189 servers. We were also limited to using only one device at a time, plus there was a data limit. We were given one GB. After using that up to watch a few episodes of Wednesday on Netflix, we lost access to the trial. Needless to say, Trust.Zone didn’t make our list of the best VPNs for Netflix.

Still, we appreciated having a free trial option. If we were typical VPN shoppers, we’d have used it to evaluate the VPN thoroughly before committing to a paid subscription. That brings us to our next topic: Trust.Zone VPN subscriptions.

Subscription Prices

Aside from the three-day free trial, Trust.Zone gave us the option of signing up for one month, one year, or two years.

There’s minimal variation in these options, but from a features standpoint, they all deliver the complete Trust.Zone experience. You’ll have access to all 189 servers, enjoy unlimited data usage, and benefit from robust encryption and tunneling. The only difference is that the two-year plan allows for up to five devices of yours to connect at a time. The one-month and one-year options are only for three devices.

We find that device limit a little, well… limiting. There are options like Surfshark and Private Internet Access that offer unlimited connections. And while those options are a little more expensive (as you can see in our Surfshark pricing and Private Internet Access pricing pages), we’re more inclined to choose VPNs that don’t put a limit – or at least have a higher limit – on the number of devices you can connect. But that’s just us; if you’re fine with Trust.Zone’s three- to five-device limit, then all is well.

In any case, here’s how much the subscriptions cost:

As you can see, Trust.Zone is pretty generous with the discounts, especially if you sign up for the two year plan. The paid plans on their own come with dynamic IP addresses, meaning we got a new IP address everytime we connected, which we actually prefer over getting the same, static IP address each time. However, some people may want a dedicated IP address that supports port forwarding, as well as three more connections. If that’s your preference, you can add these features for a total of $3.48 per month.

More Discounts

Aside from signing up for a longer-term length, there are a couple other ways to save on Trust.Zone through seasonal offers, the payment method used and some straight up giveaways. Hold onto your hats!

Seasonal Savings

Winter, summer, fall or spring, we’re always on the hunt for some sweet savings. Fortunately, most VPNs, including Trust.Zone, offer exactly those types of savings. Now, there are too many past deals to put here, so instead, allow us to give you one pointer that can help you land deals anytime of the year.

Visit Trust.Zone’s website every now and then. They have special offers for just about any season and special occasion. From New Year to summer and back-to-school seasons, plus major holidays like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and holiday shopping events, there’s always a sale.

Savings by Payment Method

If you pay using Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, you’ll get 10% off, which creates prices as low as $1.68 a month with the two year plan.

This is the first time we’ve seen a VPN company discounts its pricing based on what payment method we used. Although we didn’t take advantage of this discount, using a plain old Visa, we think it’s a great thing for cryptocurrency-users around the world.

Giveaways

Periodically, Trust.Zone has been known to offer some giveaways, like 10 free licenses. While we can’t guarantee that you’ll win, be on the lookout for these deals, as you won’t have to spend a dime to access their full service.

Why It’s Worth It

There are a lot of reasons why we would recommend Trust.Zone as a VPN in general. These are just a few:

• Streaming: We streamed Netflix from servers in the U.S, the U.K, Canada and France during our world travels, and from Prime Video on our Fire TV Stick.

• Gaming: Looking to unwind with some gaming sessions? Trust.Zone has you covered with encryption support on routers, or instructions to route an Xbox Series X/S or Playstation 5 through your computer’s VPN connection. For more options, read about playing Fortnite in our review of the best VPNs for gaming.
• Fast: We saw quick Internet speeds on our Windows computer in particular.
• Logging policy: Trust.Zone really kept our information private; the only thing they kept was the email address we registered our account with, skipping out on saving our web traffic and IP address.
• Low prices: With the two year plan, Trust.Zone is only $1.86 a month, or $55.99 billed at once, making it one of the best cheap VPNs on the market.
• Free trial: We got to try out Trust.Zone for three full days without paying a dime, which took out the risk of the purchase.

Getting Help with the Trust.Zone VPN

Even after testing out dozens of VPNs, occasionally we still ran into problems with Trust.Zone that we just couldn’t figure out on our own. In these cases, we had a number of different routes to contact Trust.Zone’s support team. We could either check out the FAQ and troubleshooting sections on their site, or, if that didn’t help, send them an online ticket. The support team responds to tickets Monday through Friday, typically within 24 hours during business days.

While we appreciate the responsive ticket system, we’d prefer if Trust.Zone offered phone support or a live chat feature on their website. Weekend support would also be valuable. But perhaps this relatively lean support system contributes to their low prices, so it’s really a give and take.

What Devices Does Trust.Zone Work On?

We’ve already detailed Trust.Zone’s ability to work on some devices, but here’s a comprehensive list:

• Windows
• MacOS
• iOS
• Linux
• Android
• Wireless wouters
• XBox Series X/S
• Playstation 5
• Fire TV
• Fire TV Stick

Exit Strategy

Of course, not everyone will like Trust.Zone for a variety of reasons. If that’s the case, Trust.Zone is actually pretty generous with their refund policy, which surprised us given they already offer a three-day free trial. But if we had decided that we didn’t like Trust.Zone, we could’ve cancelled within the first 10 days after clicking “purchase” for a full refund, but there was one pretty large caveat: we couldn’t have used more than one GB during that time period to get a full refund. If we used more than one GB, our refund would be partial only. This restriction is fairly stringent, so if you’re uncertain about Trust.Zone, we suggest simply utilizing the free trial period. It has the same bandwidth cap without any financial commitment.

However, if you paid for Trust.Zone and want to cancel, follow these steps:

1. Go onto the Trust.Zone website
2. Log into your account
3. Click on “Support” in the upper right-hand corner
4. You will be brought to a page that says “Create new ticket”.
5. Under “Department”, select “Subscription” and type in the message box that you want your subscription cancelled.
6. Click submit.

If you want a refund, do steps one through four, but under “Department”, click on “Refund” instead of “Subscription” and type in your message. Within seven to ten business days, you’ll receive a response regarding your refund status – whether it’s denied, partial, or full – based on your usage duration and data consumption.

Conclusion

With a free trial period, low prices, and discounts for cryptocurrency, Trust.Zone makes testing out or using their VPN incredibly simple for the customer. From a pricing perspective, they’re highly competitive, though you’ll want to explore the VPN’s features thoroughly to determine if it meets your specific needs. To learn more about VPNs in general, read our VPN guide, which breaks down exactly what to look for when shopping for a VPN. Trust.Zone may or may not end up being the one for you, but at least you can rest assured that their prices are beyond reasonable.
