Panda Security

Panda Security is primarily recognized for its antivirus and internet security offerings. However, similar to other security companies such as Avast, Avira, and Bitdefender, Panda has expanded its portfolio to include a VPN service in recent years.

The VPN is integrated into Panda's Dome antivirus, and a basic version is included for free. While this is a cost-effective option, it may limit the compatibility with other antivirus products, as conflicts may arise.

Panda's VPN is essentially a licensed version of Hotspot Shield. For a more detailed examination, you can refer to our review of the Hotspot Shield suite. In essence, it boasts an extensive server network, and its user-friendly VPN client applications are visually appealing and easy to navigate. The service also demonstrated commendable performance in our hands-on speed tests.

Privacy and encryption

PandaVPN goes above and beyond in securing your online activities by implementing 256-bit AES encryption, considered the highest standard in encryption technology. This robust encryption ensures that your internet traffic remains impervious to hackers and unauthorized access.

Furthermore, PandaVPN boasts a kill switch feature, adding an extra layer of protection to your online experience. In the event of a VPN connection loss, the kill switch acts promptly, severing your internet connection to prevent any inadvertent exposure of your data. This proactive measure enhances the overall security and privacy features offered by PandaVPN.
