Company Location

EarthVPN is located in North Cyprus and guarantees that it makes no logs of user activity, as log retention laws are not applicable in Cyprus. The company state there is no way any third party could match a user IP to an address, this gives users peace of mind over anonymity and security issues.

Offshore servers are optimized for P2P and torrent downloads, ensuring users experience no legal difficulties with copyright issues. P2P and torrent are blocked on all other servers. So EarthVPN is not really recommended from sites like PopcorntimeVPN.

Customers can simultaneously connect up to three devices to the service just so long as they are all logged in via the same IP address or modem. At present it’s not possible to operate the service simultaneously from multiple locations, the MobileVPN service would need to be purchased as an add on feature.

Digital magazine review of EarthVPN

An independent review of the EarthVPN service by UK based BestVPN digital magazine did not rate OpenVPN speeds very highly and also highlighted inconsistency from UK servers. Although BestVPN are based within the UK some European servers were found more reliable than in the UK, in fact connection to two out of five UK servers was impossible.

The review also highlighted that adding two or three options to the basic package does increase prices substantially. The reviewer did comment additionally that the SSTP speeds were fast, giving an overall conclusion that the service provided is good value for money and offers high levels of privacy to customers.
