LiquidVPN Review

Are you a person who travels a lot? Do you think it’s unsafe to access your banking account and PayPal dashboard using the wireless connection in a hotel or an airport?

If you have a yes to both the questions above, I am glad that this article is going to help you out.

Of course, accessing sensitive websites via public wi-fi connection is risky. But not when you hide your identity. Virtual Private Network aka VPN masks your identity and, builds a layer of virtual security for safer browsing.

Today, I am going to review LiquidVPN to check whether it is off the mark or not.

LiquidVPN Review

I have used about half a dozen VPN services until now; both free and paid. Recently I came across LiquidVPN and decided to give it a try.

It’s obvious from the name that LiquidVPN is a virtual private network service. I want you to give an overview of their features and then we can get into the initial configuration.

Features of LiquidVPN

The following are the features of LiquidVPN which I found enticing.

#1. Supports Multiple Platforms

We use different devices running on different platforms. You may have two systems with Windows and Mac respectively. The story of multiple platforms may be the same for smartphones as well. Some people own both an Android device and an iPhone as well.

Do you want to protect the network traffic in and out of all your devices? Then, you must go for a VPN service that supports multiple platforms. LiquidVPN here supports Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.

See, you don’t have to worry about platform support anymore.

#2. Availability of Different Protocols

Different VPN protocols can be used to be anonymous online. Each protocol is different regarding speed and security. So choosing the suitable protocol plays a major role in increasing the usability.

LiquidVPN supports four protocols; OpenVPN, L2TP, SSTP and IPSec. If you ask me for the best protocol, I will definitely go with the first one considering its right mix of security and speed no matter each one has its own benefits.

#3. Easy to Use Interface

What if an essential tool comes with a clumsy user interface? Will you keep on loving it?

Of course, not! Despite having tons of premium features, not a single one of us likes to keep using the software with a complicated UI.

LiquidVPN customers don’t have to worry about the interface because you get simple and professionally designed UI regardless of the platform.

#4. Liquid-Locking

What surprised me most is the liquid locking facility. Most of the VPN clients come with a Kill Switch feature which closes the application you use at that particular instant once the VPN connection drops.

Still, the chance of leaking your personal details remains because the device still exchanges traffic with the web.

But here the liquid locking facility cuts the internet connection fully to avoid the leakage. On Mac, LiquidVPN makes use of PF rules and on Windows it utilizes Filtering API to activate the Liquid Lock.

#5. Simple DNS Setup

Changing your DNS settings from the native OS windows is a pain because you have to go through many steps.

On LiquidVPN, you are only a single step away from adding manual DNS addresses. Follow Settings>> Advanced. There you go.

A lot of other features like IP Modulation are also there.
