posted 4 years agoAny VPN reduces the connection speed because the signal needs to travel more - from you to the VPN server, and then to the data you request. The closer you are to the VPN server, the shorter is the way. So please use the countries nearest to yours to have the best performance. As for hiding the IP: Browsec successfully does this job. If you have any doubts please contact us at support@browsec.com, and we'll be happy to discuss this. Developer response
posted 4 years agoHello, we're sorry to hear that. Please reach us at support@browsec.com or at https://browsec.com/en/contact_us. We'll do our best to help!- Rated 1 out of 5by PlusPast, 4 years agoI tried the free version of Browsec for a week and found it fair enough for site viewing, but it's utterly useless for downloading files. I could not download a single file... not a 100 mb file, nor a 50 mb file, or even a 25 mb file. Each file usually began transferring at a reasonable speed, often near 100 kbps, but the speed always dwindled down to less than 20 kbps before finally stopping altogether and failing. Sometimes that took a few minutes to happen, and sometimes it happened in less than a minute. It didn't matter which of the four free locations I used. In fact, I tried downloading the same file via all four locations, first in the United States, where I'm located, then in the Netherlands, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, and the download failed every time with each of the six files I tried. I further tried a dozen or more files in one or two locations each, all without success. Obviously, Browsec is never going to allow any downloads to complete in the free version, which I have to assume is intentionally done to get users to upgrade to the paid version. The only other explanation is that it's simply a very slow and unreliable network. So, Browsec isn't any good for someone like me who browses and occasionally wants to download something they find, but doesn't do that often enough to justify paying for the expanded version. And if I did need it enough to pay for it, I wouldn't feel confident in trusting my credit card info to a company whose product performs so poorly (not even to give the paid version a free 7-day trial), as that usually indicates a lack of competence. Uninstalled.

posted 4 years agoHello, we're sorry to hear about this experience. We assure you we never set download speed or data limits for our free servers. We perfectly understand that degrading the performance of the free version is not the best way to sell Premium. Still, the free servers have a much heavier user load, that's why they may perform slower that the Premium ones. Also, there can be several external reasons for the situation you described: downloading several files at once, your ISP's poor bandwidth to the target country, etc. It would be great if you could contact us at support@browsec.com and describe the case in more detail. We would like to investigate it and help you get the best possible performance with Browsec. - Rated 1 out of 5by ertyuiopl, 4 years ago

posted 4 years agoSlowdowns are natural for any VPN because the signal needs to travel more - from you to the VPN server, and then to the data you request. The closer you are to the VPN server, the shorter is the way, and the lower is the speed loss. So please use the countries nearest to yours, and you will have the highest speed possible. Also, Premium servers are much faster in general. We have a 7-day money-back guarantee, so you can try Premium risk-free.- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16654339, 4 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Khep, 4 years agoSo you give us 4 free servers with terrible connection, and we have to pay money to use a better server and eve from another country!? No thanks. Also the VPN doesn't work, at all
Developer response
posted 4 years agoHello, we're paying for the servers to let you use them for free, without ads and time/traffic limit. 4 countries is what we can currently afford to give away.
Please contact us at support@browsec.com and tell us more about VPN not working at all. We'll do our best to help! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16592252, 4 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13536065, 4 years agoWorks, but very slowly, and it now periodically opens new tabs with ads by itself - definitely a reason to remove it again!

As for the new tab opening: we inform free users about our current promotions. Many value this as an opportunity to get our Premium service with a good discount. This happens once per promotion. To stop this information, you can turn on "Don't show promo offers" in the extension settings. - Rated 1 out of 5by Wizard.2K, 4 years agoPurtroppo non sono riuscito a farla funzionare poiché, i pochi pulsanti presenti, sembravano tutti disattivati.
