About Mysterium VPN

Mysterium VPN runs on a peer-to-peer node network rather than only data-centre servers. It offers more than 7,500 residential IP addresses in over 100 countries, and these are backed by real internet service providers. The aim is to make VPN use harder for websites and VPN blockers to detect.

It uses the WireGuard protocol and includes a kill switch. Apps are available for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, along with a Chrome extension. One plan covers up to 15 devices, and there is a money-back guarantee.

Strengths

  • Residential IP addresses that are harder to flag as VPN traffic
  • WireGuard protocol with kill switch
  • Up to 15 devices per plan

Limitations

  • Requires a paid subscription
  • Traffic exits through other people's residential connections

  • ExpressVPN

    ExpressVPN runs RAM-only servers with its Lightway protocol, published audits and a Linux app, instead of routing through other people's residential connections, at a high price.

    Canadian VPN with built-in ad blocking and a usable free tier.

    A free academic VPN network of volunteer-run public relay servers from the University of Tsukuba.
