X-VPN

One of the ways to ensure your identity is protected while navigating on the Internet is to reroute the traffic via a virtual private network (VPN). Not only that the VPN conceals your real IP address, fouling the servers you access into thinking you are located somewhere else, but it also provides data encryption to secure your Internet traffic. Now that the main advantages of a VPN are on the table, you can get a glimpse of X-VPN.

Designed to be as simple as possible, this particular VPN application enables you to connect to one of the available servers from all around the world, while promising high transfer speeds and reliability.

There are a plethora of options you can choose from when it comes to the VPN server to connect to. X-VPN builds up a list that includes the server that is currently the fastest, as well as a few servers that are specifically designed to bypass the geographical restrictions imposed by some websites. Take, for instance, the US-Hulu or the US-Netflix servers.

Aside from the recommended servers, X-VPN also features a section where all the servers are displayed. However, before making your decision, you should use the built-in ping test to estimate the transfer speed between your PC and the server. For your convenience, the application enables you to create a favorites list that includes the servers you use most.

Once you are connected to a server, your computer's public IP address should be changed. X-VPN does not reveal the new address within its main window, but you can easily find it online.

The protection status of your workstation is displayed instead, and X-VPN should say that your personal IP is hidden and that your data is encrypted and secure. A few details about the used protocols are shown in the dedicated section of X-VPN.

X-VPN is a classical VPN application that focuses on functionality and speed. As expected, it boasts a minimal feature set that makes it very easy to use. Connecting to a VPN server is a matter of seconds, with all the benefits that arise from using such a service.
