User interface and accessibility
VPN for Windows means the UI of the Windows edition of iTop VPN is fairly simple. The connect / disconnect button is enlarged on the homepage and the connectivity status is written below it. Below are the periodic IP, server location, and protocol where the server or protocol can be changed by clicking
Home is followed by server lists. Here all types of available locations and servers are randomly listed, and the load and signal strength of the server is written on the side. Search can also be done from the search bar.
This server list contains different categories, different purpose servers which are divided into the following sections Download servers (P2P servers), streaming servers (Netflix, Disney, Amazon, Hulu, tc ), social servers (Facebook, Instagram, Skype, Twitter, etc) ) And gaming servers (PUBG, COD Warzone, Minecraft, CSGO, New World, etc).
Below these are the Tools section where there are also two subsections called Privacy Protection and Quick Access. Privacy Protection subsection has many options, security reinforce toggle, browser privacy, IP configuration, IP Checker, Adblocker, Split tunneling, IPv6, Kill switch, and DNS protection. The effectiveness of these will be discussed later.
But now I have to say something about the Quick access menu. This menu has options like Browse Securely and Privately, Hide Location, Watch Netflix, Watch Disney, Play Pubji, Unblock Facebook, etc. But the funny thing is that even though the name of this menu is given quick access, the position has been given at the end of all. No shortcut, the center position is given for these options.
Bigger than that, the things in the previous section have been put in one place. Different names have been given, for example, the hide location option actually turns on the VPN, and the same thing happens when you turn on the VPN from the homepage.
Then let's talk about the Browse Securely and Privately option, its function, and turn on the VPN. Whether or not there is a connect button, even if you click on this connect button to turn on the said feature, there is no way to know whether the feature is enabled or not, whether VPN or security is turned on, because after clicking on connect it returns to the homepage If you go to the menu and see the Connect option as before, then the user can not wait to say how annoyed and confused.
And the options called unblock Facebook, and unblock WhatsApp given in this menu are actually only activated by the servers of the previous social section.
Free Servers and features: performance
Whether a user buys a VPN or any premium product depends a lot on the user's first impression of the free VPN version of the product, its features, and its performance. Many people also download VPNs for emergency work, any special work may require a specific server. So how many free servers a VPN PROGRAM is offering and their connectivity, speed, and performance are critical.
We got 10-12 free servers, including Japan, Germany, France, the UK (2), Australia, and the USA (5). We have not been able to connect any of them in the USA. Tried after 12 hours but did not connect to a server in the USA.
