Speedify Channel BondingĬonversely, to boost speeds and reduce latency, Speedify developed its own protocol by the name of “ Channel bonding.” As the name suggests, this technology works by combining all network connections such as Wi-Fi, cellular, Ethernet, etc., simultaneously to offer a seamless and refined network connection.Īnother thing that I really found helpful about Channel bonding is staying connected even when one of the connection sources becomes unavailable. Rest assured, you don’t have to worry about anybody decrypting your private data. The way it works is quite complicated so I won’t get too much into details.
This encryption mechanism is supposedly way harder to crack than the usual AES-256 Bit encryption found in almost every other VPN service.ĬhaCha 256-bit Encryption is also what makes this VPN stand out amongst other VPN providers in its class. Instead of using AES-256-bit encryption, Speedify uses what they call ChaCha 256-bit Encryption. Under their “ What Personal Information We Collect” heading, they clearly mention all the information they gather about their users.Įncryption wise I found Speedify to be quite impressive as well. That being said, Speedify does collect some information, but nothing worth worrying about. We do not log the IP addresses of websites that you visit or the contents of data sent or received through the Service. They clearly mention on their website that: They literally have everything in plain sight. I like that they don’t hide any information. Security – Does Speedify keep logs?Īfter going through their privacy policy, I can say that Speedify is actually no logs service. This is not ideal for a VPN company since logs are something no customer would want to compromise on.Įven though Speedify claims to log no user data, the fact that they operate just under the nose of the 5 eyes makes me quite skeptical. Since Speedify operates from the US, they have to abide by strict data retention laws. I say this because Speedify is a US-based VPN provider based in Philadelphia, which, as we all know, falls under the surveillance jurisdiction of the 5 eyes. Well, if you’re worried about data sharing and surveillance, Speedify can be considered not safe to use.

So after weighing in all the pros and cons, I’ve given Speedify a 4.0 stars rating overall. Overall, Speedify is a decent VPN service with 50+ servers in 35 countries which is good for basic usage however, you should be better off with something else for heavy usage. While starting at pretty fast speeds, Speedify abruptly became unbearably slow. Despite changing multiple US servers, I still got the proxy error. So, it’s not as good in performance as ExpressVPN or Surfshark.įor instance, Netflix didn’t work for me. However, when it actually comes to offering VPN-specific performance, Speedify lacks quite a bit.Īfter all, Speedify was initially advertised as an internet speed-boosting tool. I also like that it offers well-designed modern-looking apps with built-in options for encryption, Kill Switch, and an even mode dedicated for streaming. While writing this Speedify review, I found it rather impressive to boost my speeds significantly by merging my Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and mobile internet connection. Well, to be fair, it’s more of a channel bonding tool than a full-fledged VPN service. Speedify is not your average run-of-the-mill VPN service.
