Servers

Liberty VPN has servers in USA, Germany, UK and China (Hong Kong). Even though switching between servers isn’t allowed with Liberty VPN, users of Germany/Canada/UK servers can benefit from the company’s SSL VPN feature. It is important to understand that the closer your location is from the server, the better the internet connection and the faster it becomes. For instance, users in Asia or the Middle East will find the German server faster than the US server.

Speed

Speed can be an issue with Liberty VPN. The company has only a limited number of servers which may affect the connection speed. Slowdowns may be experienced from time to time. But users have not made any complaints regarding the speed. With a system that makes does a lot of encryptions, slowdowns are unavoidable. These slowdowns however are just minimal and won’t actually affect the overall speed of the connection. Connection speed will also depend on the location of a user. For example; users in Asia or Middle East that connects to a German server will have a better and faster speed compared to those living in the US.

Encryption and Logging Policy

Liberty VPN only supports PPTP and L2TP encryptions. There is however a special offers for those that use SSTP. SSTP VPN is only available for users in Germany, United Kingdom and Canada. There is also SSL UK plan that makes use of a 2048-bit encryption system. Users have to wait for 12 long hours upon registration before they can actually use the system/service.

As for logging, they say they do not keep logs on their homepage but we have found out they do and it’s easy to trace back to you, PPP has to be disabled when connecting from an Android device and they do comply with DMCA requests.
In most cases they do use shared IPs and on request can provide dedicated IPs.

Customer Support

The company does not offer a ticket system or a live chat option, but does offer email correspondence through a contact form. In addition, the company also provides a Frequently Asked Questions page, a troubleshooting page and a setup instructions page for software installation.

Free Trial and Money Back Guarantee

The company does not currently offer a free trial version, but does have a money back guarantee (with one condition) for three days. However, Liberty VPN does offer a hassle-free money back guarantee, to their credit as a company embracing “liberty”. However, the refund policy must be claimed within three days from payment.
