Encryption and Logging Policy
Like many VPN providers these days, TowerVPN provides 3 main encryption protocols: PPTP, L2TP/IPSec and OpenVPN protocols. Although OpenVPN is the best and most secure encryption protocol up to date, it doesn’t support all devices. Therefore, users who are unable to use OpenVPN on their devices can use L2TP/IPSec or PPTP (not recommended because it’s weak). In this way, users can surf the web securely and anonymously while using public Wi-Fi/hotspots outdoors without fear of hackers, spammers or data sniffers. Moreover, users will be able to protect their browsing activities, emails, VoIP sessions and so on.
As for logging, the company only saves login time and user access details. However, they doesn’t keep logs of the user’s online activities or sessions.
Compatibility
The company provides its own VPN client that supports major operating systems such as: Windows, Linux and Mac OS. It is also compatible with popular devices, including: Android operated phones and tablets as well as iPhones and iPads.
Furthermore, if a user faces any troubles configuring the client, he/she can follow the instructions and guidelines provided by the company.
Customer Support
Live chat support isn’t available on TowerVPN. However, users can file their complains and problems to the support department via tickets or emails. It’s worth mentioning that the customer service responds almost instantly and are very well-trained and friendly.
Conclusion
TowerVPN is an above average VPN which provides very well managed VPN services and protection to internet users. Their services come with flattering prices as well and unlimited bandwidth, which makes it a wallet-friendly VPN that is good enough for regular VPN use.
