Try this VPN

Trust.zone is a basic VPN situated in the Seychelles Islands. With 178+ servers spread across 96 countries, it employs the OpenVPN tunneling protocol for secure connections.

The application is straightforward, without complicated features. This simplicity makes it suitable for users seeking essential VPN services, especially concerning privacy. Trust.zone uses AES-256 encryption and has a no-logs policy, ensuring the safety of your sensitive information.

Key features of Trust.zone include:

  1. Autoconnect
  2. Autostart
  3. Kill switch
  4. DNS leak protection
  5. Prevention of DDoS attacks
  6. Port forwarding
  7. Double VPN

The Double VPN feature stands out as more advanced, routing your traffic through two separate servers for heightened IP protection.

However, not all features are universally available. For instance, the kill switch and DNS leak protection are exclusive to Windows. Additionally, extra payment is required for DDoS attack protection and the Port forwarding feature.

Privacy and encryption

In terms of encryption, all protocols, except for WireGuard and SOCKS5, use the industry-standard AES-256 encryption, ensuring a high level of data security.

Trust.zone offers the option to use FTP as a tunneling protocol, which is known for being insecure. I strongly recommend avoiding it, along with HTTP. However, the other tunneling protocols provided by Trust.zone are secure and reliable.

The VPN includes a kill switch as an additional security feature. While it is a valuable attribute, it may not be as user-friendly as in some other VPNs with a similar feature.

Additionally, Trust.zone offers DNS leak protection. Although this feature is disabled by default, you can manually enable it, but only on Windows, iOS, and Android applications.
