CactusVPN review

Pricing

A month of work with CactusVPN costs $4.99 which is one of the lowest price points in the industry. Depending on the plan (US, UK, or Liberty), a user can get 4 servers in the US, or 6 servers in the UK, or 4 servers in Netherlands and 2 in Romania, respectively. VPN + Smart DNS costs $6.99. If you pay for a quarter you get $14 discount, for a year $35.

Features

The most interesting feature of CactusVPN is perhaps its support of 5 different VPN protocols. Almost all analogs also offer SSTP. Moreover, it’s the only service that supports the open SoftEther protocol which allows to very flexibly adjust work on any device and operating system. CactusVPN offers official Windows and Mac clients with beautiful and thought-out interface.

Security

CactusVPN offers 256-bit SSL encryption and up to 2048 bit in OpenVPN which turns your device into an ironclad. The service guarantees no logs, though connection data are stored for 3 days with the purpose of user support. The speed is impressive as well: independent tests showed a stable 23-24 Mbit/s connection on a 25 Mbit/s line.

Support

CactusVPN offers 5 various ways of obtaining help: How to Start, settings guide, FAQ, learning center, and ticket system. If you choose to send a ticket, you may select an urgency level: low, medium, or high. You can also attach a screenshot to demonstrate your problem better.
