VPNSecure Me Review 2023: Price, free trial, Netflix

by Vít Nováček, updated August 7, 2022

1. VPNSecure.me: 3 Disadvantages & 2 Advantages

   • User-unfriendly application
   • Low speed
   • Poor unblocking of streaming services

   • Supported operating systems
   • Adblock and stealth features

   VPNSecure Me is one of the lesser-known VPNs that offers basic features plus ad blocking or stealth connections on dedicated servers. The VPN is primarily focused on connection security and privacy.

   While the connection speed was sufficient in our case, it is well below average compared to the competition. The ability to unblock streaming services is low. Therefore, VPNSecure Me is not a suitable choice for users who want to use VPNs with streaming services.

4. VPNSecure.me App: User-friendliness, whitelist, server selection…

   • Traffic limit: Unlimited
   • App Languages: 🇺🇸 English +8 more🇫🇷 French 🇩🇪 German 🇷🇺 Russian 🇪🇸 Spanish 🇦🇪 Arabic 🇯🇵 Japanese 🇰🇷 Korean 🇷🇴 Romanian
   • Whitelisting:
     No

     Whitelisting is supported by 54 % of reviewed VPNs

   The VPNSecure.me app is basic. It offers a short setup such as encryption, and for mobile devices, a connection when the device starts up or on the desktop a choice of languages for the app.

   The whitelist function is not offered, nor is the selection of the best server for maximum performance.

   In the app, we would have welcomed an easier choice of country to connect via VPN. Especially in the desktop app, we did not like the user-unfriendly design of the app. Also, it is unintuitive that the app does not appear on the taskbar.

   We also missed the auto-connect feature on desktop devices.

5. VPNSecure.me Connection Speed: Upload, Download & Latency

   Download speed

   Higher is better. The average download of all tested VPNs is 90 MB/s.

   Upload speed

   Higher is better. The average upload of all tested VPNs is 59 MB/s.

   Server latency

   A lower value is better. The average response rate of all tested VPNs is 66 ms.

   VPNSecure.me lags far behind other VPNs in connection speed. Our measured connection speeds were noticeably slower than those without a VPN. Even so, it was possible to use the VPN without any major problems. The connection speed would be sufficient for streaming 4K content.

6. VPNSecure.me Server Locations

   • Number of servers:
     78

     The average number of servers for the reviewed VPNs is 1551.
   • Number of countries:
     32

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

   Europe	🇧🇪 Belgium 🇩🇰 Denmark 🇫🇷 France 🇮🇪 Ireland 🇮🇹 Italy 🇭🇺 Hungary 🇩🇪 Germany 🇳🇱 Netherlands 🇳🇴 Norway 🇵🇱 Poland 🇦🇹 Austria 🇷🇴 Romania 🇬🇧 United Kingdom 🇪🇸 Spain 🇸🇪 Sweden 🇨🇭 Switzerland 🇺🇦 Ukraine
   North America	🇨🇦 Canada 🇲🇽 Mexico 🇺🇸 USA
   South America	🇧🇷 Brazil
   Asia	🇭🇰 Hong Kong 🇮🇳 India 🇮🇩 Indonesia 🇮🇱 Israel 🇯🇵 Japan 🇷🇺 Russia 🇸🇬 Singapore 🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates
   Africa	🇿🇦 South Africa
   Oceania	🇦🇺 Australia 🇳🇿 New Zealand

   There are 33 countries offered for VPN connections. Compared to the competition, this is below average. There are servers in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.

   The number of servers offered is also very low. The number of servers offered may not always offer the necessary country for unblocking content, for example, but if your primary concern is a VPN to protect your connection, then there are plenty to choose from.

   For each server, there is the option to choose between TCP and UDP connections to the server.

7. VPNSecure.me 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 82% of the reviewed VPNs.
   • Tor:
     No

     Tor support is offered by 12 % of the reviewed VPNs.

   VPNSecure.me’s VPN connection is secured with AES-128 encryption, or the more advanced AES-256. This ensures that the transmitted data is protected from hackers.

   The kill switch protection against leaks in case of connection failure is offered in the application settings. Leakage of your connection data is also protected by DNS protection.

8. VPNSecure.me & Streaming: Netflix, Youtube, Amazon Prime…

   • Amazon Prime:
     No

     Amazon Prime streaming is supported by 51 % of reviewed VPNs
   • Disney+:
     Yes

     Disney+ streaming is supported by 49 % of reviewed VPNs
   • HBO:
     No

     HBO streaming is supported by 51 % of reviewed VPNs
   • Hulu:
     No

     Hulu streaming is supported by 47 % of reviewed VPNs
   • Netflix:
     No

     Netflix streaming is supported by 63 % of reviewed VPNs
   • YouTube:
     Yes

     YouTube streaming is supported by 83 % of reviewed VPNs

   Since streaming services are actively working to block VPN connections when playing content, smaller providers in particular don’t have the resources to optimize. VPNSecure Me is one of them, failing to unblock streaming services other than Disney+ and YouTube in our test.

   So you can’t rely on VPNSecure.me’s ability to unblock streaming services.

   However, the connection speed is sufficient for watching content in up to 4K resolution.

9. Features of VPNSecure.me: AdBlock, Static IP…

   • Blocks Ads:
     Yes

     Ad blocking is offered by 48 % of the VPNs reviewed.

     Yes

     Trackers blocking is offered by 42 % of the VPNs reviewed.

   The ad blocking function is offered through special servers in selected countries.

   Dedicated IP addresses are offered as an additional service for a separate subscription fee.

   Special stealth servers are also offered, which are slower but offer better unblocking capabilities by masking VPN connections. The servers should be able to pass through the Chinese government firewall, for example.

10. VPNSecure.me Torrenting Servers

    • Torrenting servers:
      Yes

      Torrenting support is offered by 87 % of the reviewed VPNs.

    VPNSecure.me does not block any features on its servers, including torrents. As a result, you can download torrents through all the servers offered. When using a VPN for torrenting, we recommend that you always have a kill switch on in case your connection is interrupted.

11. What is the country of origin of VPNSecure.me?

    • Country of origin: 🇦🇺 Australia

    VPNSecure.me is based in Australia.

    Australia is part of the Five Eyes pact of intelligence-sharing nations known for their user tracking. VPNSecure.me states that it will move its headquarters to a more privacy-friendly location if there are issues due to jurisdiction and pressure from authorities there.

    The connection is secured with an unbreakable AES-128 or the more advanced AES-256 encryption.
