updated August 24, 2023 (Report a bug)

1. VPN Proxy Master Offers Dedicated Servers for Each Streaming Platform

   • Minimal advanced features
   • In the basic version, only 6 devices can be connected

   • High download speed (142 Mb/s)
   • A large number of available servers (6,000)
   • Specially optimized servers for torrenting and streaming video

   VPN Proxy Master is a service operated by Singapore-based Lemon Clove Pte. Limited.

   The VPN offers solid download and upload speeds, a generous supply of 6,000 servers, and, especially with a two-year subscription, a competitive price of $3.75 per month. The availability of servers in 46 countries is rather mediocre, and among the streaming platforms, VPN Proxy Master has only been able to unblock a few. Customer support is available around the clock, with staff being relatively helpful.

   The weaker side of VPN Proxy Master is its relatively small feature set. Both multi-hop connectivity and camouflage mode, which disguises a VPN connection as a regular one (features found in the best services on the market), are missing. As a result, at least the app is simple and straightforward.

   With the basic subscription option, you can only connect 6 devices simultaneously. Support for router traffic is absent with VPN Proxy Master, so it’s not possible to simply protect all devices connected to the same network. However, the number of devices can be increased for an additional fee.

   VPN Proxy Master collects only basic information about users, such as email addresses, volume of data transferred, and ISPs. The service lacks an independent company’s audit, something competitors like NordVPN have undergone.

   If you decide to get VPN Proxy Master, you won’t be making a mistake. The company provides a 30 days of money-back guarantee on all orders.

   VPN Proxy Master offers subscriptions with monthly payment or for one or two years with upfront payment. The longer the subscription you choose, the less you pay per month. The number of connectable devices also affects the subscription price; the basic number of 6 can be expanded to 20 for an additional fee.

   The price of the cheapest subscription variant for VPN Proxy Master, including the discount, is $3.75 per month, while the least expensive variant sells for $12.99 per month.

   The trial version of VPN Proxy Master is only available through the Play Store or App Store. Orders already paid for are eligible for a 30 days of money-back guarantee.

   A free version of VPN Proxy Master is also available, with a limit on the amount of data transferred and the ability to connect only to the geographically closest server.

   Payment for the VPN Proxy Master subscription can be made with debit and credit cards, PayPal, Oxxo services, or cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. The advantage of paying with cryptocurrency is maximum anonymity, as there is no need to enter billing information. Subscriptions to VPN Proxy Master can also be purchased through the Play Store or App Store, though the downside is a higher subscription price and a different refund request process.

   VPN Proxy Master offers discounts on subscriptions to students.

   Support for Android TV, Apple TV, Roku multimedia systems, routers, smart NAS storage, and Chromebooks is lacking.

4. VPN Proxy Master App: User-friendliness, whitelist, server selection…

   • Whitelisting:
     Yes

     Whitelisting is supported by 53 % of reviewed VPNs

   The app environment VPN Proxy Master looks similar on desktop and mobile devices. Its controls are simple and easy to understand, even for less experienced users, and during our testing, there were no app stutters. In the settings, you can choose one of the 20 languages available.

   The color theme of the app is fixed, so switching between light and dark mode is not possible. Like all paid services, VPN Proxy Master does not limit users in the amount of data transferred.

   There is a button on the homepage of the app to connect instantly to the best location. If you want to manually choose a connection location, you can do so using the list of all countries. You can also choose to connect to the fastest or closest location.

   For all available locations, an icon is displayed showing the expected connection quality. You can save selected locations as favorites and connect to them more quickly later. As you connect, you will see how many servers are available in that country.

   The whitelist feature is available in the Windows, iOS, and Android apps. In it, you can select secure apps and websites that will always connect directly without using a VPN. On macOS devices, only a list of secure Wi-Fi networks can be set up.

   Automatic VPN connection is only available for mobile devices.

5. VPN Proxy Master Connection Speed: Upload, Download & Latency

   • Traffic limit: Unlimited

   Download speed

   Higher is better. The average download of all tested VPNs is 101 Mb/s.

   Upload speed

   Higher is better. The average upload of all tested VPNs is 71 Mb/s.

   Server latency

   A lower value is better. The average response rate of all tested VPNs is 64 ms.
   VPN Proxy Master does not limit the user in any way by the amount of data transferred. This is standard among paid VPNs.

   During our testing, establishing a connection to the servers was fast, especially true for the ones nearby. In the case of choosing servers on the other side of the world, the connection took a few seconds, but this did not detract from the user experience of using the VPN.

   The average measured download speed was 142 Mb/s, which is sufficient for playing 4K video and downloading bulky files. Compared to other reviewed VPNs, VPN Proxy Master is faster than average.

   The 75 Mb/s upload speed is also very good. Thus, VPN Proxy Master can be recommended for transferring larger files.

   The response speed of VPN Proxy Master during our measurements was on average 36 ms. Such a value promises an undisturbed gaming experience, although, for example, ExpressVPN measured an average response of 12 ms. For the response speed, a lower value is better.

6. VPN Proxy Master Server Locations

   • Number of servers:
     6,000

     The average number of servers for the reviewed VPNs is 1662.
   • Number of countries:
     46

     The average number of countries available for the reviewed VPNs is 39.

   Europe	🇧🇬 Bulgaria 🇨🇿 Czech Republic 🇫🇮 Finland 🇫🇷 France 🇮🇪 Ireland 🇮🇸 Iceland 🇮🇹 Italy 🇱🇻 Latvia 🇩🇪 Germany 🇳🇱 Netherlands 🇳🇴 Norway 🇵🇱 Poland 🇵🇹 Portugal 🇷🇴 Romania 🇬🇷 Greece 🇬🇧 United Kingdom 🇷🇸 Serbia 🇪🇸 Spain 🇸🇪 Sweden 🇨🇭 Switzerland 🇹🇷 Turkey 🇺🇦 Ukraine
   North America	🇨🇦 Canada 🇲🇽 Mexico 🇺🇸 USA
   South America	🇦🇷 Argentina 🇧🇷 Brazil 🇨🇱 Chile 🇨🇴 Colombia 🇻🇪 Venezuela
   Asia	🇵🇭 Philippines 🇭🇰 Hong Kong 🇮🇳 India 🇮🇩 Indonesia 🇯🇵 Japan 🇰🇷 South Korea 🇵🇰 Pakistan 🇷🇺 Russia 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia 🇸🇬 Singapore 🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates 🇹🇭 Thailand 🇹🇼 Taiwan
   Africa	🇿🇦 South Africa
   Oceania	🇦🇺 Australia 🇳🇿 New Zealand

   VPN Proxy Master operates 6,000 servers in 46 countries around the world.

   The number of servers is sufficient, even above average compared to competing services. The available countries are well distributed among all continents, and Asia and South America are well represented in addition to traditional Europe.

   Servers for VPN Proxy Master are also available in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Less common countries include Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa. Of the countries with government censorship, servers are available in Russia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.

   Locations can only be chosen from a list; there is no interactive world map in the app. Somewhat confusing is the different selection of countries in the app and on the service’s website. We were able to log in to all the servers presented on the site, so the site probably just hasn’t been updated.

   The configuration of each server varies, so for example, not all protocols can be used in all locations. The same is true for some features, such as private DNS. For example, torrenting is available everywhere, and VPN Proxy Master even runs a few specially optimized servers for this purpose. A list of these is available on the web.

   VPN Proxy Master also runs servers specifically for video, divided by streaming platform.

7. VPN Proxy Master Security Features: DNS Leak Protection, Kill Switch…

   • DNS leak protection :
     Yes

     DNS leak protection is offered by 96% of the reviewed VPNs.
   • Kill Switch:
     Yes

     Kill Switch is supported by 84% of the reviewed VPNs.
   • Multi-Hop:
     No

     Multi-Hop connection is offered by 21 % of the VPNs reviewed.
   • Tor:
     No

     Tor support is offered by 15 % of the reviewed VPNs.

   VPN Proxy Master has implemented advanced DNS protection, which can be set in the mobile app or in the user profile on the web. During our testing, the VPN reliably hid our real IP address and DNS, and there were no WebRTC leaks.

   An interesting feature of VPN Proxy Master is the built-in protection against DDoS attacks.

   VPN Proxy Master offers a reliable kill switch, which is one of the basic features of all VPNs. The kill switch disconnects the device from the Internet when the connection to the private network server fails. This prevents the user’s real IP address from being revealed or their data from being compromised. Automatic reconnection to the VPN can be activated if the connection fails.

   Multi-hop is not available for better protection by connecting through two servers simultaneously. This feature, also known as Double VPN, is only offered by some of the leading services on the market.

   The available protocols vary from platform to platform and server to server, but in general, you can choose from IKEv1, IKEv2, OpenVPN UDP, OpenVPN TCP, Wireguard, Trojan, SSR, and ISSR. By default, the application is set to automatically connect via the optimal protocol. You can easily change the settings and select the protocol manually.

   All transmitted data is protected by 256-bit AES encryption, which is considered very secure.

   VPN Proxy Master does not support account security via two-factor authentication, where a code from the mobile app is required in addition to the password when logging in. It also does not offer alerts for personal data leaked to the dark web where it could be misused by VPN Proxy Master.

8. VPN Proxy Master & Streaming: Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime…

   • Amazon Prime:
     Yes

     Amazon Prime streaming is supported by 53 % of reviewed VPNs
   • Disney+:
     Yes

     Disney+ streaming is supported by 55 % of reviewed VPNs
   • HBO:
     No

     HBO streaming is supported by 59 % of reviewed VPNs
   • Hulu:
     No

     Hulu streaming is supported by 49 % of reviewed VPNs
   • Netflix:
     Yes

     Netflix streaming is supported by 64 % of reviewed VPNs
   • YouTube:
     Yes

     YouTube streaming is supported by 89 % of reviewed VPNs

   VPN Proxy Master can be recommended for use with streaming video with a minor caveat. The VPN offers dedicated servers designed to unblock video on popular foreign platforms. We asked tech support which specific streaming platforms the service can unblock, but the employee avoided answering.

   In testing VPN Proxy Master‘s ability to unblock geo-restricted content, we tried specialized servers as well as those designed for general use. On the Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime platforms, foreign content could only be watched using servers from the special offer. We were also able to unblock YouTube when connected to regular servers, whereas we were never successful with HBO Max and Hulu.

   Streaming companies try to prevent the use of VPNs when watching videos by blocking known IP addresses of these services. As a result, the VPN may fail to unblock the video. In case of such difficulties, you can try disconnecting from the private network and reconnecting immediately. This should change the IP address to another one that may not be on the block list. The help from VPN Proxy Master for such problems is quite general, so it is better to contact customer support directly.

   Our measured download speed of 142 Mb/s is sufficient for 4K video playback, where 50 Mbps is usually quoted as required.

   Given the failure to unblock streams from HBO Max and Hulu for streaming video purposes, we still prefer to recommend NordVPN or Surfshark. Both have high transfer speeds, excellent security levels, and have successfully unblocked all video platforms tested.

9. Features of VPN Proxy Master: AdBlock, Static IP…

   • Blocks Ads:
     No

     Ad blocking is offered by 45 % of the VPNs reviewed.
   • Blocks Malware:
     No

     Malware blocking is offered by 36 % of the VPNs reviewed.
   • Blocks Trackers:
     No

     Trackers blocking is offered by 39 % of the VPNs reviewed.

   VPN Proxy Master falls behind its top competitors in offering additional features, with few options available to enhance security within the app.

   None of the VPN Proxy Master apps support ad blocking, malware blocking, or tracker blocking. Also absent is support for camouflage mode, which can disguise a VPN as a regular internet connection, making it especially useful in countries where government censorship is prevalent.

   One of the few supported features is automatic connection when the application starts or when the VPN fails. You can also enable Wi-Fi protection, where the VPN will automatically start when connected to an insecure network.

   The VPN Proxy Master extension for Google Chrome allows you to hide VPN connections, but only within that browser. Only a few servers are available, and you can only hide the connection for 60 minutes per day. Extending this time with money is not possible.

   Neither a static nor a dedicated IP address is available for free or for an additional fee. Its advantage lies in its fixed allocation to a specific user and the ability to choose its location; only some VPN providers offer this feature.

10. VPN Proxy Master‘s CPU usage and App Performance

    VPN applications usually don’t overload your computer to the point that it reduces your comfort in using them. VPN Proxy Master took about 4% of the computing power of the Macbook Air test laptop, and it used roughly the same amount of battery capacity. The VPN used 70 MB of RAM, which is average among apps.

    If you don’t turn off the VPN Proxy Master app completely, it will still run in the background even if the VPN connection is not active. To ensure zero load on the device, you can close the app completely.

11. VPN Proxy Master Torrenting Servers

    • Torrenting servers:
      Yes

      Torrenting support is offered by 88 % of the reviewed VPNs.

    VPN Proxy Master is suitable for torrenting, allowing it without any restrictions. In the US, Canada, and Germany, servers specifically optimized for torrenting are available, offering the advantage of higher transfer speeds.

    During testing, VPN Proxy Master reliably hid our IP address, which other users of P2P platforms could access. Our measured average download speed of 142 Mb/s and upload speed of 75 Mb/s is sufficient for torrenting. Among the supported clients, VPN Proxy Master names BitTorrent and uTorrent; other commonly used ones can be utilized.

    VPN Proxy Master should not be used to violate or circumvent the law, especially since the transmission of copyrighted works tends to be actively penalized.

12. What is the country of origin of VPN Proxy Master?

    • Country of origin: 🇸🇬 Singapore

    The VPN provider is Lemon Clove Pte. and was founded in April 2018 in Singapore. VPN Proxy Master is its only product.

    Singapore is not a member of the 5/9/14 Eyes Countries grouping, which consists of countries that share intelligence among themselves about citizens who may pose a security risk. From a user perspective, the country has relatively user-friendly data protection laws, such as not requiring VPN operators to collect personal data.

13. VPN Proxy Master and Privacy: Logging Policy, Security Issues…

    • No-Logs Policy:
      Yes

      The No-Logs Policy is followed by 79% of reviewed VPNs.

    VPN Proxy Master states that it does not collect usernames and addresses, phone numbers, browsing history, DNS records, IP addresses, or connection duration. Payment data is also not stored, but it is processed and may be stored by a third party.

    What is collected is the email address provided at account creation, which is used by the operator VPN Proxy Master to send news about the service and to communicate with customers.

    Anonymized data from the application is also collected to help continuously improve the application. Such data includes the location of the connection, the location of the user, or the Internet service provider. The volume of data transferred is also recorded to prevent overloading the service by limiting other users. Data tracking can be deactivated in the application.

    The collected user data may be used for marketing purposes and, in the event of a sale of the operator VPN Proxy Master, may also be shared with a third party. The company also states that they may be transferred to another country.

    If the VPN operator is asked by authorized authorities to release user information, it is obliged to do so, although the information held is minimal.

    The VPN Proxy Master service has not been audited by any independent company to confirm the security of the application and the data held. Additionally, VPN Proxy Master does not issue a transparency report with information about data released, its loss, or potential threats.

    VPN Proxy Master does not use more secure RAM servers, where data cannot be stored for extended periods.

14. VPN Proxy Master Support: Chat, e-mail…

    The VPN offers several ways to contact technical support, with the easiest being the vpnproxymaster-support@lemonclove.net email address. There’s a contact form on the VPN Proxy Master website and directly in the app where you can write your request. The reply will be delivered to the specified email.

    VPN Proxy Master also offers customers live chat 24/7, accessible from the web and directly from the app. We waited a few minutes to connect with a live human during our testing. Support was able to answer most of our questions, and a copy of the messages arrived in our email inbox after the chat ended. Support is only available in English.

    The FAQ section is not well managed; from a user perspective, it was quicker to contact support directly via chat.
