Freedom-IP Reviews

Latest Govt. Jobs 23:26:00 Reviews Edit

VERDICT

There's minimal website help and credit card-only payments, but get past that and Freedom-IP offers decent speeds and some useful low-level settings.

PROS:

  • Low prices,Above average speeds,Many advanced settings available online,3-day free trial

CONS:

  • No setup tutorials or troubleshooting guides,Payment via credit card only,Session logging includes IP address,Locations limited to Europe, North America, Russia
A VPN provider's website tells you a lot about the service, and it didn't take us long to spot some fundamental problems with Freedom-IP.
Clicking Tutorials led us to a page saying only ‘Help & FAQ – Under construction...’, for instance. No help? Really? There is a Forum link, but it seems more about news than anything else, and the posts are mostly in French. There's a ticket-based support system, but we'd expect basic advice to be available on the site.
Fortunately the core service looks reasonable: unlimited traffic, 40+ locations (Europe, USA, Canada, Russia), PPTP, L2TP/IPsec and OpenVPN compatibility for use almost anywhere, a firewall, port forwarding and more.
There's also a ‘special gamer mode’ to give you "the best possible latency network (lower ping)", apparently, although Freedom-IP offers no details on what this is or how it works.
The major selling point is probably the price, at €5 (£4.30, $5.40, AU$7) for a single month, €3 equivalent (£2.60, $3.25, AU$4.20) if you sign up for a year. You even get a 3-day free trial to check it out, which seems like a good deal to us.

Privacy

Freedom-IP's privacy policy is one of the shortest we've seen at under 100 words. Inevitably that means there's not much detail, but the company still gives us some key information.
The good: as with other services, Freedom-IP states that it "does not record the content of communications". 
The more questionable: the company does not perform deep packet inspection on your traffic "unless necessary for the operation of a user functionality." What ‘user functionality’ could possibly require in-depth analysis of your traffic? We would like to know more.
The privacy policy also references session data, explaining that the company logs the start and end time of sessions, the incoming and outgoing bandwidth used, and the ‘IP address of connection’, which presumably means the IP address you're allocated. This doesn't directly tell anyone what you're doing, but it's still creating a record which ties you to that VPN IP address at those times, which is more logging than you'll usually get elsewhere.
Browsing the terms of service revealed another interesting clause: "any customer who makes unreasonable demands on the service may be restricted." Use the service ‘too much’ and it sounds like your connection might be throttled.

Performance

We clicked the Try button on Freedom-IP's website, entered our email address and were redirected to the payment site. This only allowed payments by MasterCard, Visa or a HiPay wallet, unfortunately, which is a bit of a concern. 
Set up a subscription by PayPal and you know, as an absolute guarantee, that you can cancel it within seconds, whenever you like. Do this with a credit card and you just have to hope that the VPN provider will handle a cancellation properly. We're not judging whether Freedom-IP will do this or not, it's just an extra potential point of failure which might come back to haunt you, later.
We signed up anyway and logged on to the Freedom-IP console, where there was a remarkable lack of help for getting started. No step-by-step tutorials, not even a clear ‘go here’ indicator; instead you're left to figure it out for yourself.
We followed the Downloads link. A Windows link seemed to offer a copy of OpenVPN, so we grabbed that, but couldn't find the config files usually available on other services. It turned out that the OpenVPN build we'd downloaded had been customised to include them already, which is actually a good idea, just as long as you make this clear to customers in the first place.
Once setup was complete we were left with an OpenVPN icon in our system tray. Right clicking this displayed the list of locations, and we were able to connect in a couple of clicks. You'll have to enter your username and password each time, though, unless you know enough about OpenVPN to figure out the alternative.
For all the hassles and concerns, Freedom-IP's performance was better than most in our tests*. UK-UK connections gave us 30Mbps downloads at a minimum, nearby countries were the same or better, and switching to the US still delivered 20-25Mbps with no particular latency or other issues.
The service also has a lot of advanced features available on the web console. There's a ‘low latency’ mode; LZO compression enabling/disabling; custom DNS and DNS leak settings; network buffer configuration; port forwarding; finely-grained web filtering, and more.
The good news continued with our final privacy tests, where the service shielded our IP and kept us safe from DNS and WebRTC leaks.

Final verdict

Beginners will hate Freedom-IP's lack of website support, and we're not happy with the session logging and credit card-only payments, either. But if you're an advanced user, Freedom-IP offers you reasonable speeds and high configurability for a very low price.
*Our testing included evaluating general performance (browsing, streaming video). We also used speedtest.net to measure latency, upload and download speeds, and then tested immediately again with the VPN turned off, to check for any difference (over several rounds of testing). We then compared these results to other VPN services we've reviewed. Of course, do note that VPN performance is difficult to measure as there are so many variables.

    re're many advantages to Apple's ecosystem. The synergy between the devices is unprecedented. Apple has "simplified" things so much that its products are considered to be easier to use. The products also come with a great ecosystem of accessories which makes owning them a fuss-free experience for most of the people. However, Apple's approach also adds some complexities. For example, one big problem for the iPhone users is management of their music collection. On the iPhone or iPad you can't "cut, copy and paste" files. Also, Apple owns the iTunes store and in order to avoid piracy it limits the user of an iPhone or iPad to a host PC or a Mac. So how does one transfer music from a laptop to an iPhone? For example you have 10 songs on your computer. You want them into your iPhone. It is an amazingly simple question, but the answer to it is a little complex. The iTunes method The iTunes method is what one must use to transfer music from a laptop, external hard-drive or pen drive to the iPhone. To do this, you need to follow these steps: 1- Download and install iTunes on your Windows PC. On a Mac, it will be pre-loaded. When you will open iTunes for the first time, it will scan your computer for all the music and media and add it to the iTunes library. If you have the music stored on an external drive, make sure that's also connected to the computer. It will also download all the music you've bought from Apple once you log-in to your iTunes account if you have used it before to purchase music. 2- Connect your iPhone to the computer using the USB cable. 3- Open iTunes. 4- Locate and click on your device on the left side bar. 5- Click on the 'Summary' tab and scroll down to the Options section. 6- Click the box next to "Manually manage music and videos." 7- Go to the 'Music' tab, check box next to sync music 8- Then click on either 'entire library' or 'selected playlists, artists and genre' which basically allows for manually selecting the songs that you want in the iPhone. 9- Click apply. Using iTunes, you can also transfer music wirelessly to the iPhone. The process is quite straight forward and you have to follow the following steps. 1- Connect the iPhone to iTunes using USB cable so that the sharing is enabled between the two devices. 2- Ensure iPhone and your laptop which is running iTunes is on the same Wi-Fi network. 3- Open iTunes 4- Once iPhone is connected iTunes, in the summary tab check on the ''Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi' tab. 5- Press "Apply" 6- The next time you open iTunes, you will be able to sync music wirelessly --- no USB cable required -- as long as both the laptop and iPhone are on the same Wi-Fi network. In case you store music in a pen drive or an external hard disk, here is what you will need to do: 1- Select the "iTunes preferences" menu. On Windows you have to go to the tiny button on the top right corner. On OS X, you have to go to the iTunes icon on the top right. 2- Inside preferences you have to jump straight to the last tab (8th) called "Advanced". 3- In the advanced tab, the first thing you will see 'iTunes media folder location'. By default, its path will read something like 'C:\\Users\Sahil\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media'. This is the folder you need to copy if you're backing up your music. 4- In the case you're trying to add music from an external drive you have to change the path. So if you're music is on 'D' drive inside a folder called music all you need to is change the path to D:\\Music and you're good to go. Also Read: How to 101: Transfer photos (including screenshots) from Android phone to laptop Copy music using cloud storage What if you have saved your music on cloud storage platforms like DropBox, OneDrive, or even Apple's iCloud? In most cases you will be able to stream the music directly from the dedicated app of the service. In the case of iCloud, the music finds its way into the Music app on the iPhone by turning on a setting on the phone. So here's what you must do: For iCloud 1- Enter the settings menu on the iPhone 2- Go to the iTunes and App Store settings and click the automatic downloads for the music. This will download all the music you have downloaded from the iTunes store on your iPhone. This works even if you made a purchase from a different device, using the same iTunes account. 3- Inside the setting menu, scroll down for the 'music' sub-menu and turn on iCloud Music Library which will either seek to merge your iCloud music with the one on your phone or completely replace the music on your phone with the one on iCloud. Opt for the option that is convenient to you. For DropBox and OneDrive 1- Download the respective apps from the App Store 2- Supply your relevant account ID and password to the app 3- Click on the file to play the song. The app will stream it. 4- On OneDrive, on the bottom right corner, click on the contexual menu and click on open with another app option. This will download the file on the phone so that you can play the song using the standard Music app or third party apps like JukeBox. 5- If you have a lot of music on DropBox and you want to download the music on to the iPhone, then download a free app called JukeBox. Once you open the app, it will ask for your DropBox account details and scan and download all the files on the phone so that you can play them. Third-party solutions The way iOS is architected there is no file system that's accessible to the user. So if you're looking for the traditional drag and drop method, you can't do it, unless you download a third party app. There are apps for both OSX and Windows. For Windows there is SharePod which can be bought for $20, while for OS X, there are solutions like iExplorer which costs $39 and Senuti which costs $19. Basically, when an iPhone, iPod or iPad are connected to a PC or Mac which have either of these apps open, users can see the file system and drag and drop files. SharePod 1- First connect your iPhone to the PC. 2- Then open SharePod, and it will start scanning for an Apple iOS device. 3- Then choose manually the files that you want to copy and click on the 'Copy to Computer' button. iExplorer 1- Open iExporer on the Mac. 2- Connect your iPhone or iPad with the Mac. 3- If iTunes prompts you to sync with your computer, select no or cancel. 4- Select individual tracks using the command button on the Mac. 5- Drag and drop the files in the folder of your choice. It is worth noting that we have not tested either iExplorer or SharePod, but these apps are believed to be very good at extracting data directly from an iPhone by opening up its file system.
