Based in the U.S: No, we’re not anti-American (in fact, we’re based in the Big Apple!).

From its headquarters in the U.S to its lack of mobile apps, Malwarebytes certainly isn’t a VPN for all. Unfortunately, we have a long list of cons to follow. To dive deeper, read our Malwarebytes VPN costs page. Decent pricing: Although we wish that Malwarebytes was a bit more flexible when it comes to contracts, a VPN for what amounts of $3.33 a month is on the lower end of average.Seven-day free trial: And the best part? The free trial didn’t limit us on things like daily data or devices connected, so we could truly try out the same VPN as if we had paid for it.Unlimited server switches: We could’ve gone on over 370 different Malwarebytes servers without being charged extra, all under the same sweet subscription.While that may sound like a lot, compared to competitors, it’s on the lower end, especially as VPNs for Windows tend to be slower than Macs in our experience. Fast upload and download speeds: Malwarebytes only slowed our Macbook down by about four percent total, while on Windows, our download speeds decreased by about 33 percent and 25 percent, respectively.And our DNS and WebRTC tests confirmed that our domain names and IP addresses were truly hidden. AES-256: Most importantly, Malwarebytes uses the top encryption method to hide our web activity and IP address, AES-256.Netflix works (sometimes): While it wasn’t 100 percent compatible with all of Netflix’s servers, some of Malwarebytes’ servers allowed us to Netflix and chill.Torrenting access: We had fun torrenting old movies with Malwarebytes VPN connected (don’t worry we torrented non-copyrighted material only, as we can’t participate in the illegal distribution of copyrighted material).
