SuperVPN's site unblocking results weren't quite as welcome, with the service failing to get us into BBC iPlayer, Amazon Prime Video or Disney+. That's a fraction of what you should see with a commercial VPN, but it's not bad for a free service, and adequate for streaming, browsing and other simple tasks. Our speed tests showed SuperVPN Free VPN client averaging around 20-30Mbps in both the US and UK. We use a number of different speed tests to gauge the performance of each VPN we review (Image credit: Ookla) Performance

There's also a FAQ link which displays a blank page, less-than-helpfully.įorget about any other options or settings, because there are none SuperVPN is about simplicity more than features. A Connect button gets you a connection to the nearest location, or a menu enables selecting it manually, and one tap disconnects you when you're done.Ī menu includes a Smart Proxy feature, a simple form of split tunneling which enables choosing which apps use the VPN, and which bypass it and use your regular connection. Look in between the ads and you'll find a very simple VPN client. We were regularly presented with what looked like a Google Play store page for an app, for instance, and if you're thinking about something else, it would be very easy to click Install. You still have to pay close attention, though, as some of the ads aren't so obvious.

We saw some, but they're more restrained, more as we'd expect from a regular ad-sponsored app: you might open with an embedded text app, maybe a full-screen ad opens when you select some key function, occasionally with a timer, but mostly you're able to dismiss it with a click. The ads aren't as intrusive as the last time we used the app, where full-screen auto-playing videos would regularly pop up, one after the other. SuperVPN's lengthy permissions list makes it a little scary to install, but it's our job to take these risks, so we tapped the Install button and the app was ready to go in seconds. The ads displayed by SuperVPN are less intrusive but they still take up almost half the screen (Image credit: SuperSoftTech) Apps
