ZoogVPN

In the event that your web browsing is affected by censorship or geo-blocking practices, which unfortunately seem to be increasingly common these days, considering a VPN would be wise. There are so many of them, though, which may make the process of choosing the right one for you more difficult than it needs to be.

Let’s say you’re looking for something cheaper, but aren’t happy with the pricing for the mainstream solutions. ZoogVPN can be quite an interesting contender in that regard. It is priced rather competitively and also offers non-paying users a pretty lenient Free version.

There’s not much that can be said about the program’s interface. Insofar as getting you to connect to the server of your choosing, I’d say it does the job well. It’s compact and unintrusive, and you won’t necessarily spend much time there, which is good: the main focus is for you to surf the web from a different location, and the UI works to make that smoother.

It should be noted that, as this is a pretty standard VPN, there isn’t much in the way of configurability. A Kill Switch feature is available, and users may also choose a different VPN protocol: OpenVPN, ZoogTLS, Shadow, and IKEv2 are the available options. You’ll need a license if you wish to use WireGuard.

The free VPN experience really isn’t that bad. A selection of servers from Germany, Netherlands, US, UK, and Singapore is available. While the speeds won’t knock your socks off, the VPN should be fine for casual web browsing and the odd video streaming.

As it stands, ZoogVPN makes for a modest offering overall. I would say it’s not much to write home about, but that’s not really a bad thing. Free users get a decent VPN to use for casual browsing, while those looking to save a few bucks get an alright deal.
