Pros and cons

HideMy.name  Features

Support for secure protocols: HideMy.name supports OpenVPN, L2TP, and PPTP. For Mac and iOS, it also supports IKEv2. You can choose the protocol you want to use in its custom app, and we recommend that you use OpenVPN. It’s the most secure VPN protocol with no known vulnerabilities. You can also use IKEv2 or L2TP, however, we don’t recommend PPTP since it has vulnerabilities. We are happy to see HideMy.name supporting secure VPN protocols.

Up to 5 simultaneous connections: HideMy.name allows up to 5 simultaneous connections, which is at par with most VPNs in the market.

Customer Support

HideMy.name has user-friendly native apps for Windows, Android, Mac, iOS, and Linux devices but can also be configured on routers with the help of detailed manual setup instructions available on the website.
