UK-based HeadVPN is a somewhat small provider that’s been around since 2014 and a very good choice for beginners and Android users. But then again, premium vendors like NordVPN or CyberGhost are easy to set up, and compatible with Android and many more platforms. Plus, they both have an extensive global network that’s no match for HeadVPN.
HeadVPN respects your privacy and doesn’t log, although it’s located in the UK (a Five-Eyes member). In addition, it allows P2P and torrenting activities without any bandwidth restrictions.
HeadVPN also offers dedicated IPs, a free trial, 30-day money-back guarantee, and accepts Bitcoin. Endorsed with a high-level 256-bit and RSA 4096-bit encryption, HeadVPN may lack a kill switch, but it supports multiple protocols such as OpenVPN, SSTP, IKEv2, SoftEther+HTTP, HTTPS Proxy, L2TP, and PPTP.
Unfortunately, there’s only a custom app for Android, but you can run HeadVPN on a bunch of platforms such as Windows, Mac OS, iOS, Android, Linux, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, and Fire TV. You also get 5 simultaneous connections to use on multiple devices at the same time.
On the negative side, HeadVPN has a tight server network limited to 12 servers in 4 countries: UK, USA, the Netherlands, and Germany. However, you can stream tons of channels and services including Netflix, Hulu, BBC iPlayer, Spotify, Pandora, HBO Go, and many more. As previously mentioned, HeadVPN is pretty basic in its essence, but it provides some interesting features at cheap prices, not to mention their friendly 24/7 live chat customer support.
