CactusVPN Review:Small but powerful VPN service

CactusVPN is a small but powerful VPN service provider,the cheap price is a good selling point for us,and there are much more feature list below.we didn’t test the speed this time, CactusVPN offer 24 hours free trial,before you buy it you can test it from your ISP and you bandwidth,it is more accurate for you.

They provide many features about their VPN service,DNS service and about their promotion like refer to your friends,follow their giveaway rules to get free VPN or DNS account.

Advantage

Smart DNS of Cactus VPN is good for your streaming,they also provide auto proxy for you,24 hours free trial and 30-days money back guarantee are both allowed by Cactus VPN, It is infrequent in my mind.There is an interesting thing named “Apps. Killer” is more useful as their auto proxy, it is better then the ‘internet kill switch’.They also offer software for Windows,Mac,iOS and Android,it’s very good,with the 3 Simultaneous Connection,you can be so free while you surfing the internet.Best of all,the price of Cactus is reasonable even cheap for you,we recommend you buy the VPN+SmartDNS as $3.49 per month.

Disadvantage

Port forwarding is not offered, and we think they should add more server over the world.

Basic information

The servers of CactusVPN is only in four countries,it include four servers in the United States, six servers in the United Kingdom, and a total of six in Romania and the Netherlands,it is not much servers, but people need servers which work great, people don’t usually need 100 servers in 80 different locations. Their servers will help you access coverage of sporting events and unblock sites like BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world.

The price category of Cactus VPN is not same as the other VPN providers,if your only want the VPN service or only DNS service,you will pay $2.49 per month,but here we recommend you the VPN+SmartDNS package,it’s cost-effective in all,and it still cheap as you see.Beside, If you already have a CactusVPN package, you can buy a second one at 50% OFF. Use it as a gift for a friend, a surprise for your spouse, or just keep it for you. And if you plan to buy more packages just let them know from ticket system,and they have great discounts.

Compatibility

A nice bonus feature is AutoProxy, and SoftEther has recently been added to the list of available protocols too, SoftEther VPN is one of the world’s most powerful and easy-to-use multi-protocol VPN software. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, FreeBSD and Solaris.As we know, VPNGate is one of VPN provider with SoftEther VPN.But we don’t see any reason to use any protocol other than the highly secure OpenVPN.

Security

They keep no logs about what you do on the internet or what you upload and download, connection logs will not be kept. it’s acceptable though we like no logs more.

For most VPN protocols we use 256 bit AES encryption that makes your traffic safe and impossible to decrypt,With 2048-bt key authentication on OpenVPN connections, 256-bit SSL key encryption on SSTP, and 128-bit to 256-bit(You can choose the encryption strength yourself) encryption on L2TP/IPsec connections.

Shared Static IP is not the best way for hiding your real IP address, Shared dynamic IP is best. Dynamic IP is changing for every customers,it is difficult to track the users .

Features

Auto Proxy

Each VPN server doubles as a free proxy server, This feature comes as a bonus. Rather than changing your IP for every site you visit, AutoProxy allows you to configure your browser so that your IP will only change for a list of certain websites, This allows you to seamlessly access many of the most popular geo-restricted sites, while leaving the rest of your internet browsing experience alone.

APPs. Killer

Apps. Killer is better than the internet kill switch found on some clients, by only closing the applications which you choose rather than shutting off the entire internet. The feature is especially popular for members who use the VPN service for P2P / torrent purposes.

Smart DNS

With Smart DNS ,Surf online from anywhere in the world using original provider’s speed. Direct access to the sites with no loss of speed. You can do this by VPN, but as no encryption is involved the connection is faster. You can get the free Smart DNS trial and enjoy our Smart DNS services for 7 days for free.

Learning Center

Software

This is the client for Windows,you can connect to VPN in seconds with it. Absolutely no technical knowledge required.

As you see in the picture,you can switch the city, country or protocol easily,but it will not show the IP to you.

APP.Killer is the best function we like,it is not same as Kill Switch.With is you will be protected even if the connection is not stable. Set up which applications will be closed when the connection drops.

Easily switch VPN servers or use the “Sort by speed” feature to sort all the servers based on their speed so you can choose the fastest one at any given moment.

You can choose how often your IP address will be automatically updated. That’s useful when you ISP often changes your IP address.

Still they offer DNS leak protection, You can be sure there will be not DNS leak by turning on the build in DNS leak protection feature.
