VyprVPN: VPN & online privacy 4+

I had issues with iPad but figured out how to fix it

I will share this in case someone else runs into the same issue. purchased a new iPad Air Gen 5 and wanted to use this VPN. It works flawlessly on my iPhone. When I setup my iPad I pretty much did the iPhone backup so all the apps that were on my iPhone would be available on my iPad. When I tried using the VPN it wouldn’t connect. I went to customized and attempted to use all the different connection types, but it still wouldn’t work. I wondered if maybe it was reading it as an iPhone instead of an iPad and that was the issue. I deleted the app on my iPad and reinstalled it. IT WORKED!!!!

So if you just recently bought an iPad and did the backup from your iPhone and this app is not working, uninstall and then reinstall and that should hopefully fix your problem. It did for me.

Thanks for the honest review, we're glad to hear that reinstalling the app resolved the issue!

Please hear me out before using this App

I’ve actually been trying to chill myself before writing this review, because I don’t want my rage to confuse others. The simple fact for me is that, I trusted VyprVPN, but their terrible service caused me not only anxiety, but also economical lost.

Before I left U.S. for China, I checked different VPN companies, because I know that Chinese Fire Wall would cause me lost connection with the world outside. VyprVPN advertises itself, saying it has a team consistently working on breaking the Chinese Fire Wall, so I payed for a year’s service. However, the truth is that their servers do not response most of the time, and my MacBook VyprVPN does not even try to connect when I click the “Connect” button! I could not check my gmail, or my Messenger, which fact made me almost isolated from my friends and colleagues outside of China for two weeks until a friend in China helped me find another VPN service, free to use and much more reliable. During which time, I lost a check sent from the U.S. due to the fact that I could not update my address in China.

I really hope that no one else would fall into such terrible situation as I did. Please reconsider if you are planning to use VyprVPN for serious reasons. And do not pay them anything! Since I just learned that there are other VPN services that are free to use, and that, more importantly, really work!

Fault app and disabled my iPhone completely

Firstly when I got the app, I was not able to connect with it at all. Even when I was using the paid features it did not allow me to connect to any network that I normally would be able to on any of my other devices. On top of that the app would automatically connect me to the vpn whenever I connected to a different wifi and when it did that, I wasn't able to use that wifi until I went into the app to turn it off. It also would not let me tap the vpn off slider in the settings to turn it off, as I said before I had to go into the app and turn it off, on top of all that today I had an experience where it showed a random phone notification asking for my password. When I tried to hit cancel the notification opened up again and it would not stop, making my iPhone completely unable to use. I tried rebooting it and it still showed up. I had to quickly delete the app in the .5 seconds that I had between when I hit cancel and when it opened again. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. I've never reviewed an app before because I've never felt such a hatred or liking to any other app OTHER THAN THIS ONE. However if you are considering using vypr for your computer I wouldn't hesitate it's a great vpn but again, do not download this app
