It Supports multiple VPN protocols, including OpenVPN, L2TP/IPSec, and IKEv2. > > **Cons**: I havn't noticed any disadvantage when trying this software. ----- ### "Fast and Easy VPN, Smart DNS Very Interesting" — 5.0/5 > **Scott** | *4 August 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This looks to be one of the easiest VPN software packages available, and couldn't be easier to operate, so that has to be my number one PRO about CactusVPN. I'm also a big fan of how their subscriptions are setup, allowing you to piece-meal their features OR get them all for a discount, rather than forcing things I don't need on me. They also have a lot more P2P friendly VPN sites than most of their competitors. They also have one of the BEST websites and account dashboards I've EVER seen, allowing some pretty serious control and depth of information available. > > **Cons**: A single 1-day trial is hardly enough time for a proper evaluation, so that is my biggest gripe about them. I also wish they had a bit more info and/or settings for their Smart DNS feature, which I find interesting but don't know much about personally. > > I needed a solid, affordable VPN for obvious reasons, and my year long subscription to HMA, although still active, kept crashing on my PC. Found Cactus through Emsisoft and tried them out, and they were great. Not only can I be certain that exchanges between my computer and every site I visit are secured from start to finish, I also have an incredible amount of privacy thanks to CactusVPN. In addition to that, their Smart DNS feature DOES seem to be speeding up my web browsing by a noticeable amount, which i was doubtful of at first. ----- ### "Security" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *2 April 2019* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: With today's security issues within society, a simple trustworthy VPN is necessary. I recently swapped over to CactusVPN after having some device difficulties with my previous provider. So far so good. > > **Cons**: Trial is extended which is nice. I recall it being 30 days. I did not see a student discount when signing up. That may be it's only flaw. > > Security issues, I can gladly browse safely when CactusVPN is running. ----- ### "Cactus VPN" — 5.0/5 > **Danette** | *4 December 2018* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: User friendly; easy to use and understand. > > **Cons**: Support is not as helpful as it once was. > > Very good experience overall. ----- ### "Good and inexpensive VPN" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 March 2021* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Switched after HMA, having very good impressions on it. Fast and easy-to-use. > > **Cons**: Find it much better than my previous VPN. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/170768/cactusvpn?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/170768/cactusvpn) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
