Looks Great So Far

I’ve only been using this application for a few hours on the Free Trial plan, but so far it’s working very well. I haven’t noticed any loss of performance while browsing, and the setup was relatively straightforward. (The bit about adding the VPN connections to System Preferences was a bit confusing, but easy enough to work out.)

It’s also brilliantly easy to see whether it’s on or off, as VPN:ON or VPN:OFF is written in plain text in the menu bar. That’s a surprisingly nice feature: most vendors provide an icon that changes its appearance, but it’s usually not obvious which state means ‘on’ and which means ‘off.’

If my opinion changes, I’ll post an update.
