1. Pricing Plans: proXPN has definitely made a strong standing with its free VPN service. It does offer a premium package and the pricing is as below:

• proXPN Basic: Absolutely FREE VPN connection but limited to a speed of 300kbps – a great way to test the service before zeroing on a particular VPN service. The basic plan has only 1 server access in US, Miami and it works with OpenVPN connection only. If you want more speed, want to use PPTP and/or need technical support, you need to take the Premium Plan.

• proXPN Premium: proXPN offers PPTP and OpenVPN type server connections at $9.95/mo. It does allow free switching between servers which is good and you can use both PPTP and OpenVPN protocols.

Since there exists a possibility to try the service for free, we highly recommend our readers to first use the FREE service for connectivity and speed before signing up for the premium plan. When you take the premium plan, you will have shared IP addresses with unlimited transfers and switching between servers and access to server in all countries offered.

As a new user, you only need to sign up with your email id and start using the VPN services for FREE. proXPN offers PayPal, Google Checkout, and Credit Card for premium users. In addition, it offers 7-days Money Back Guarantee. 

2. Ease of Use: Getting started with proXPN is very easy. Simply enter in your email address and a password and you are given the proXPN software download link. All you need to do is simply install their software which works on the OpenVPN/PPTP platform and enter your email/password combo to connect to their servers. 

 • Online Client Area: The client area is fairly simple and straightforward. You see your account status and all the details that proXPN offers you as a Premium account holder. 

proXPN does provide a complete knowledgebase which is helpful for finding answers to your questions before contacting the technical support. You can open a ticket through your online account or connect with a customer service representative on live chat.

• Quick & Easy Installation: Once you have purchased your premium plan you can simply download the proXPN software. To start, all you need is to enter the username and password that you used to set up your account online. They do have regular updates so you can check out their announcement section online for any updates. 

We noticed that proXPN offers a VPN Guard in case the VPN connection drops off. You can choose to close specified applications when disconnected unexpectedly, this is particularly useful if you are using any private or secure application that you do not want to use without VPN. So, in case the VPN connection drops off, you can be sure that your data is not exposed on the internet.

• VPN Client Interface: The proXPN VPN client interface is a simple one. There are only 3 tabs – each of which is again very simple and straightforward. As a new user or even a beginner, such a VPN client is easy to use and no professional expertise required. 
 

Although proXPN VPN client is very simple, the client area itself is not impressive and there are literally no options or flexibility for the user. This can also be tied to their limited server availability (only in 4 countries). Once the connection is established, you can safely surf the internet.

Overall, we do not particularly like why proXPN offers such a basic user interface as compared to other similarly priced VPN services. They say, “User friendly application keeps you in control” but in our opinion, the free user would really enjoy it but a paid premium account holder should be given more in terms of more easy to launch tools like IP Check, speed check, IP Changer and several other tools that other VPN provider are offering. However, if you are a first time user, the straight forward ProXPN GUI can be really handy for you as it keeps you away from all those Technical VPN Jargons. 
Owing to its FREE VPN service, proXPN website is blocked in many countries which makes it difficult to use not only for free but also for its paid premium version.
