VyprVPN is the second Switzerland-based provider on this list and is probably one of the more famous names on it as well. It boasts plenty of the features you’d expect of a modern VPN, including a no-logging policy that’s audited by an outside security company, instantaneous live chat support, and the speedy WireGuard protocol on its desktop clients and mobile VPN apps.

It may only have 700-odd servers – much less than most of the competition these days – but they’re spread far and wide across 60+ countries and are all fully owned by VyprVPN itself. That means it doesn’t have to rely on third-party web hosts, thus making the whole operation immediately feel more secure.

If you’re looking for website unblocking, this service gave us easy access to US Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Disney+, Hulu and many more during our testing. The only blemish was Amazon Prime Video, but that does generally tend to be a more challenging service for VPNs to handle.

Android user that knows you’ll be using the VPN frequently on your phone? Then VyprVPN is a fine foil. Open up the app and it looks just like the full Windows client (that’s a good thing, by the way) and features a hatful of handy features: kill switch, DNS leak protection, start-up and auto-reconnect options, URL filtering. The iOS app doesn’t quite squeeze as much in as the Android version (no kill switch, for example), but it’s still nice to use on iPhone.

It functions admirably on Windows, too, although we did get some niggly kill switch issues there. And using OpenVPN as default, we found the connections speeds to be a fair way down on average – a problem that should be avoidable if you just use WireGuard.

VyprVPN isn’t quite perfect, then, but there’s undoubtedly a lot to like – a must for your VPN service shortlist.
