   AtlasVPN is the VPN provider of the American company Peakstar Technologies Inc.

   In addition to the paid version, it also offers a completely free VPN. Atlas VPN does not limit the number of devices connected simultaneously, nor does it limit data transfer. The apps are for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS only. Connection speeds were good, even on most remote servers. AtlasVPN is able to unblock streaming services and offers streaming support on all of its servers.

   AtlasVPN is good for those who don’t need a VPN for smart TVs and other devices. They don’t mind more data that Atlas VPN can store about users, nor do they mind apps without more customization. In other ways, Atlas VPN is a good VPN that deserves consideration.

    • Country of origin: 🇺🇸 USA

    Atlas VPN is owned by Peakstar Technologies Inc. The company is headquartered in the USA, which falls under the so-called Five-Eyes countries. These are a group of countries that are known for surveillance of citizens by secret services and passing information across the group.

    However, as long as the VPN doesn’t store logs of activity while connected (which Atlas VPN doesn’t), it’s safe to use a VPN provider from that country as well.

    AtlasVPN also has a special section on its site with transparent data on the number of government or national security requests to release information about its users. At the time of testing, AtlasVPN states that no user information has ever been requested from them, nor has any data been stolen.

    It stores app usage data and basic data about device type, model, operating system, brand name, device ID, language, time zone, and connection city. Analytical data on installation method and source and advertising IDs are also used to measure the success of campaigns.

    The data that AtlasVPN stores is more than most VPN providers. This can present a hurdle for people who want maximum privacy.
