Hi. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your positive experience with our app. :)
I purchased their premium plan for 1 full year on the 1st of May, VPN worked correctly once, it’s now not turning on, after speaking with 5 different customer care agents I’ve decided to purchase another VPN. The funny thing is 10 days after I purchased this yearly contract it says all my subscriptions have expired. I’ve reinstalled this app 3 times and downloaded the links they sent to my email to restore my service. Terrible service wouldn’t recommend it to anybody. Waste of money
