Features	7.0 SetupVPN offers basic VPN functions with limited free access. With free access, you have the choice of 5 countries to log in to for 30 minutes at a time. When using the premium version, these limitations do not apply, but here too there is a lack of advanced security features like those offered by competitors.	7.8 VeePN delivers a solid feature set that covers most VPN needs. The 2,500+ server network across 60 countries provides good global coverage, though it's not as extensive as industry leaders like NordVPN's 5,000+ servers. We particularly appreciated the streaming optimization features that successfully unblocked Netflix and Disney+ during our tests. The multi-device support allowing 10 simultaneous connections is generous and perfect for families or users with multiple devices. The P2P support works well for torrenting, though speeds can be inconsistent depending on the server. The kill switch feature is present but not enabled by default, which we found concerning for security-conscious users. Overall, VeePN covers the basics well but lacks some advanced features like split tunneling or specialized servers for specific use cases.
Performance	4.5 SetupVPN offers basic performance for occasional use. The free version has limited server locations, but the premium version offers better speed and reliability. Our tests included establishing a VPN connection to London and then using online services to try to localize the location. It turned out that in some cases the actual location was still localized and not London. From our point of view, a continuous secure connection is therefore not guaranteed.	6.8 Performance is where VeePN shows its biggest weaknesses. While some servers deliver good speeds with minimal impact on our connection, others are frustratingly slow or unreliable. We experienced connection drops during our testing, particularly on certain servers during peak hours. The speed consistency varies significantly between different server locations, with some performing well while others struggle. Streaming performance is generally good when it works, successfully unblocking major platforms without significant buffering. However, we encountered occasional issues with certain servers not working with specific streaming services. The latency is higher than average, which could affect gaming or real-time applications. The server network, while decent in size, doesn't seem to have the same optimization as more established providers. Overall, VeePN's performance is acceptable for basic VPN needs but falls short of the reliability we expect from premium services.
Design	7.0 The design of SetupVPN is simple and intuitive. However, the layout in the free version is very dubious and annoying due to the excessive number of advertisements.	7.0 The VeePN interface follows a simple, no-frills approach that prioritizes functionality over aesthetics. The main connection button is prominently displayed, making it easy to connect with a single click. However, the overall design feels dated compared to more modern VPN services like Surfshark or ExpressVPN. The color scheme is basic, and the layout lacks the polish we've come to expect from premium VPN services. Settings are accessible but not always intuitively organized, requiring users to dig through menus to find specific features. The browser extensions are functional but basic, lacking the advanced features found in competitors' extensions. While the design isn't terrible, it doesn't inspire confidence or excitement about using the service.
Value for Money	6.0 In this category, the extension performs completely differently if you are looking for a free or premium extension. The costs for the premium version are reasonable compared to the competition. However, it should be noted that many other providers have even more functions that can be used at the same time. Here you only get the VPN service. With the free version, you have the option of selecting 5 different countries. Due to the presence of a lot of advertising and performance problems with the VPN, there are much better alternatives for free users.	7.9 VeePN's value proposition depends heavily on which plan you choose. The 30-day money-back guarantee provides peace of mind for testing the service. However, the inconsistent performance and limited customer support reduce the overall value proposition. For budget-conscious users on longer-term plans, VeePN offers reasonable value, but monthly subscribers might find better options elsewhere.
Ease of Use	8.0 Setting up the extension is straightforward. A connection can be established immediately after installation and you can even test whether the connection works. Nobody should have any problems here.	8.0 Getting started with VeePN is straightforward for most users. The installation process is simple with clear instructions provided. The main interface is intuitive enough that even VPN beginners can figure out how to connect. However, we encountered some frustrating moments during our testing. The connection button occasionally didn't respond immediately. Some advanced features are buried in submenus, making them harder to find than they should be. Overall, VeePN is easy enough to use for basic VPN needs, but power users might find the interface limiting.
Security & Privacy	5.0 SetupVPN offers only basic privacy protection, with limited security features. However, the many advertisements in the free version raise concerns about data collection. Many who use a VPN want to use it precisely so that their data is not stored. From our point of view, a VPN service with such many advertisements is very dubious.	8.8 VeePN takes security seriously with industry-standard AES-256 encryption and support for modern protocols including OpenVPN, IKEv2, and WireGuard. The Panama jurisdiction is privacy-friendly, being outside the Five Eyes alliance, which is a significant advantage. The claimed no-logs policy is reassuring, though we'd like to see an independent audit to verify these claims. The kill switch feature is available but disappointingly not enabled by default, which we consider a security oversight. DNS leak protection is included and worked correctly in our tests. The service supports secure protocols and doesn't store connection logs, which is good for privacy. However, the lack of additional privacy features like obfuscated servers or double VPN puts it behind more advanced competitors. The security foundation is solid, but there's room for improvement in both features and transparency.
Conclusion	SetupVPN is a good choice for users who are only rarely looking for a simple, free VPN service. While it offers privacy features, it has strong drawbacks, such as dubious frequent advertising and limited free access. For those who need more robust privacy and security features, the premium version might be worth considering, but there should be better alternatives. Overall, we agree with the current reviews from other users that there are much better alternatives.	After weeks of testing VeePN across multiple devices and use cases, we can confidently say it's a decent VPN service that falls somewhere in the middle of the pack. The security features are solid, the server network is respectable, and the streaming capabilities work well for most major platforms. However, VeePN struggles with consistency. We experienced connection drops, inconsistent speeds across different servers, and found the customer support to be less responsive than we'd like. The interface, while functional, feels dated compared to more modern VPN services. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option and don't mind occasional hiccups, VeePN could work for you, especially on the longer-term plans. But if you need rock-solid reliability and top-tier performance, you'll likely want to look elsewhere.
