VPNs are constantly in demand these days. Over the last few years or so, VPNs almost gained a mainstream appeal of sorts: geo-blocking and censorship are issues that increasingly encroach upon the end user’s ability to browse freely, and these tools can help you deal with that.

It’s a buyer’s market we’re in, at least in terms of VPNs: shop around, test what you can, and see what you like best. TurboVPN is a new solution that lets users obfuscate their online identity, offering a solution that may be fitting for those after a simpler, no-frills approach.

While there are outliers, most VPNs offer Free tiers or trials to entice users to purchase a subscription. What you get here is a bit of a bare-bones experience, but it’ll do for more casual users.

Only US and Singapore servers are available, and the speeds aren’t anything to write home about. I wouldn’t necessarily stream high bitrate content with it, but the VPN should work well enough for some light browsing and the occasional YouTube video.

The program includes a built-in speed testing utility. It will appear on the interface once you’re connected to a server, and hopefully the results won’t be a cause of frustration for you. In my case, my connection didn’t exceed 11.35Mbps on the Free version.

In addition, the VPN does also contain Split Tunneling, Kill Switch, and some Wi-Fi Protection features, but you will need a Premium account for those. I should also note that the program is a bit eager to promote the Premium plan through various ads — some on the interface, others next to your system tray.

Turbo VPN is a rather ordinary VPN. It doesn’t do anything particularly new, but if you’re a more casual user, it can’t hurt to give the Free plan a try to see if you should consider getting a subscription.
