VeePN Review 2025: Is It the Best Basic VPN?

VeePN promises a simple, privacy-focused VPN experience with an easy interface and strong encryption. We appreciate that VeePN offers specialty servers for streaming and double VPN connections as well as a headquarters outside the Eyes alliances. 

However, our hands-on testing showed inconsistent performance, especially when it came to streaming reliability and feature stability. 

In this updated VeePN review, we break down everything you need to know, including pricing, performance test results, and how VeePN compares to other top VPNs.

Our experience

Our most recent experience with VeePN was solid, but there were still issues. We installed this virtual private network (VPN) on our MacBook running macOS Tahoe.

VeePN has a clean and clearly labeled interface. It starts by recommending your optimal location and it has tabs for all your settings on the left-hand side. 

We were initially impressed with VeePN's list of streaming servers. There are options for countries in North America, Asia, and Europe, and there are options for lots of streaming services like Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime Video, and more. 

But when we actually used the streaming servers, we kept running into errors. In the past, Netflix has detected VeePN, so we couldn't stream. Most recently, the Australian streaming server wouldn't load any streams, so we needed to switch to another server.

We also needed to change the protocol repeatedly depending on our activity. We swapped to WireGuard for speed tests but this protocol didn't unblock any geo-restricted Netflix libraries, so we needed to swap protocols again.

Although we like how user-friendly VeePN's interface is, all the issues we encountered are probably too much trouble. 

Who is VeePN best for?

• Recommended for anyone looking for basic VPN protection.

Overall, VeePN is a good solution for someone looking for basic VPN protection. If you’re just using a VPN to access a different country's Netflix library, VeePN could work. 

But if you’re worried about your internet activity being exposed, we’d recommend a different VPN that includes more safety features. We had trouble getting VeePN's kill switch to work. 

VeePN prices and subscriptions

VeePN now costs between $1.99-$20.85/mo. It previously only had one subscription type but now it offers a Basic, Pro, and Max tier. You can purchase each subscription on a monthly, one-year, or two-year term. 

The cost of VeePN is cheaper if you pay for a one-year or two-year plan. To save money on a VPN, select the two-year plan for the best pricing.

The VeePN Basic tier includes the VPN, an ad blocker, and alternative IDs. It also maxes out at five simultaneous connections. The VeePN Pro and VeePN Max tiers are more like cybersecurity bundles if you need more comprehensive protection. 

Both Pro and Max include VeePN's antivirus; breach alerts for email, credit cards, and personal identification; and identity masking, with the ability to create alternative personas and emails. The only difference between the two tiers is that VeePN Pro maxes out at 10 device connections and VeePN Max increases that number to 20.

VeePN features

Overall, VeePN offers the standard VPN features, like a kill switch and split tunneling, plus a few features to improve your VPN use. VeePN has a network of 2,600+ servers, including servers optimized for streaming. 

You can also use a double VPN with VeePN, which gives you greater anonymity while using the service.

Server count and countries

• 2,600+ servers in 85 countries

VeePN has a robust list of server locations, allowing you to find a server that works best for your needs. It also has server locations in 85 countries, so you can access geo-restricted content like Netflix streaming libraries easily.

We like that it offers servers specifically for streaming and for double VPN. The streaming servers should help maintain fast speeds without lag or glitches. The double VPN servers will cover your connection with two servers instead of one for additional security. 

No-logs policy and headquarters

• VeePN logs policy: No logs
• VeePN headquarters: Panama

In its privacy policy, VeePN outlines the information it collects. VeePN collects data when a new customer signs up for an account, including your name, email address, and payment information.

VeePN also collects information about how you use your device, such as the type of device, how often you use the VPN, or what features are used most often. VeePN says that this information is used to improve user experience, manage your account, and communicate with users.

Most VPNs collect this type of information for normal operations. The usage data gives companies insights on how to improve their product or create new features.

VeePN doesn't keep usage logs, and it doesn't collect IP addresses or log any of your activity while using the VPN.

VeePN is also headquartered in Panama, which is outside of the Eyes alliances and doesn't have data retention laws. 

Kill switch

VeePN has a kill switch, which can be turned on in the privacy settings of the app. A kill switch gives you peace of mind that you won’t unknowingly use the internet if your VPN gets disconnected. It stops your internet access if your VPN becomes disconnected. 

Split tunneling

VeePN’s website touts that the service offers split tunneling. On the Windows app, navigate to settings, then select the VPN settings button. From there, you'll be able to dictate which apps should be routed through the VPN and which should bypass the VPN. 

VPN protocols

You have several protocol options when using VeePN, including OpenVPN, IKEv2, WireGuard, and Shadowsocks protocols. You can easily swap protocols from the general settings tab. 

Privacy protection

VeePN has its own ad blocker feature. It can help you avoid malicious websites, stop trackers, and remove pop-up ads for a better browsing experience. 

On the Windows and macOS apps, you can toggle on various switches depending on what you want to block. This is the same on the browser extension as well. On iOS, you can just turn on the NetGuard feature in your settings. 

VeePN test results

When we evaluate a VPN, we look at several ways the VPN impacts your daily activities, including how the VPN affects internet speed, if the VPN allows you to stream from Netflix or other platforms, and if the VPN is truly protecting your IP address and website usage. 

Speed tests

• Speed test results: VeePN increased our download speeds by an average of 3%.

We started testing by measuring VeePN's impact on our laptop's speed. First, we ran a speed test without VeePN connected to determine our baseline speed. 

Then, we connected to servers in the U.S., Canada, U.K., and Australia to determine how much VeePN will impact our download speeds, upload speeds, and latency. 

First, we selected VeePN's optimal location option and ensured we were using the WireGuard protocol, which is best for speed. We were surprised that VeePN determined our optimal server location was a server in Virginia because we're based in Texas. It ended up dropping our download speeds by 25%.

We decided to manually select our closest server and had much better results. The Dallas server increased our download speeds and upload speeds and it reduced our latency. 

This time, VeePN improved our download speeds on almost all the servers. We expect VPNs to slow our speeds because they take your traffic through the VPN server rather than its fastest route, so we consider any download speed increases to be a win. 

Based on our experience, you may need to manually select your closest server option and protocol for the best speeds. 

Netflix tests

• Netflix test results: VeePN successfully unblocked all the Netflix libraries we tested, but not with issues.

If you’re looking to access new streaming content, a VPN can give you access to geo-restricted libraries across the world. Streaming services like Netflix have different libraries based on your location, so there may be titles available in Australia that you can’t stream in the U.S.

Not all VPNs work well with streaming services, and, in some cases, the streaming service may block IP addresses that are known to be part of a VPN. Although VeePN unblocked all the libraries we tried, it did require us to change servers. 

First, we connected to a Canadian server to stream its library, but Netflix would only show us the U.S. library. We tried swapping to other servers, clearing our cache, and opening Netflix in an incognito window. Once we switched to IKEv2, the Netflix Canada library appeared.

Then, we tried the Australia streaming server, but our stream would load endlessly. Once we swapped to a regular Australia server, we could load the stream.

We were disappointed that VeePN has a whole list of streaming-optimized servers but some don't work. We also wish VeePN didn't require so much tinkering for different activities. 

DNS leak tests

• DNS leak test results: VeePN passed its DNS leak test.

A DNS leak test gives information, including your location and IP address. When connected to the VPN, your device should be using a DNS different from that of your internet service provider.

No leaks were detected in VeePN’s DNS leak protection tests.

WebRTC leak test

• WebRTC leak test results: VeePN passed its WebRTC leak test.

We also conducted a WebRTC leak test that checks to see if your IP address is being exposed while connected to the VPN. 

The WebRTC test is based on Web Real-Time Communication, which is a technology used for video chat and voice services. The WebRTC test shows if your VPN is still displaying your actual IP address when connected to the VPN.

Kill switch test

• Kill switch test results: VeePN failed the kill switch test because the kill switch was unusable.

A kill switch protects your device from unexpected connection drops. If you're using public Wi-Fi and your VPN fails, a kill switch will stop your internet entirely so your device won't be exposed to unwanted third parties. 

After enabling the kill switch, we opened ipleak.net while connected to a U.K. server. Once we switched to a server in Canada, our true location appeared on the site. 

VeePN compatibility

When purchasing a VPN solution, you’ll want one that is compatible with all of your devices. VeePN supports a variety of devices, including:

• Windows 10+ (legacy app for Windows 7-8)
• macOS 12+
• Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, and Arch)
• Android 9+
• iOS 17
• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge
• Apple TV
• Fire TV 
• Android TV
• PlayStation
• Xbox
• Routers

VeePN customer support

VeePN’s customer support options are easy to find, and users get quite a few options to find solutions to any issues. However, we had some issues with the live chat. 

Live chat

Since we had some connection issues when using VeePN, we tried out the live chat to see if we could get some help.

The agent sent over instructions for a solution, but the boilerplate was missing key information for completing the suggested fix. When we asked the live agent about this, they couldn’t give us any further instructions outside of what they had already said. They couldn’t provide a solution to our connection issues.

Email

VeePN claims to have 24/7 email support as well. You can either send an email to support@veepn.com or submit a support ticket on the site. 

Knowledge base

VeePN also has several online guides you can use to fix issues on your own. You can choose the Troubleshoot Now option, Set Up VeePN option, or search through the support articles. 

Top alternatives

Since we had a few problems with getting VeePN’s features working correctly, we recommend an alternative. We’d suggest using one of these VPNs if you need to ensure your information is encrypted because of censorship or other concerns.

FAQs

Bottom line: Is VeePN good?

Overall, VeePN is a basic VPN you can rely on to mask your IP address or do some streaming. On the other hand, the kill switch hasn't worked for us over several testing cycles and we needed to change the protocol repeatedly for the service to work. Since many of these features were difficult to find or didn’t work, we would suggest other VPNs. 

In addition to performance issues, VeePN doesn’t have the most competitive pricing when compared to our recommended alternatives. VeePN may be a good VPN for the basics, but there are more reliable VPNs available with more competitive pricing.
