Web-Leader.net VPN has a clean design, and user-friendly interface but is it ready to compete with top VPNs? Not just yet, there are still multiple areas the VPN could improve on.
The VPN is a product of MIU Dev, which has been around since 2008. MIU Dev offers other security software like proxies for business and individual use and designs a few game apps as well.
Web-Leader.net VPN has a mere 30+ servers in 23 countries. True it’s a small network, but it still covers a fair amount of the globe. Those 30+ servers include two in the US, and they were strong enough to bypass regional Netflix blocks.
I did notice the streaming speeds lagged during peak hours and wasn’t that impressed with the video quality. I was unable to access BBC iPlayer, 9Now, or UK Netflix.
Web-Leader.net VPN is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Android. You can choose between a variety of protocols including OpenVPN, L2TP, IKEv2, and PPTP.
It also claims to work on gaming systems, routers, and Smart TVs. The part Web-Leader.net leaves out is that in order to operate it on any system that doesn’t allow Android or Windows apps, you’ll need an emulator. Plus, I wasn’t able to find any support articles in the knowledge base for any of those devices.
In terms of advanced features it offers a quick connect, DNS leak protection, and Always On. It doesn’t offer a kill switch or allow split tunneling though, features that are essential if you use torrenting sites a lot. For that reason, I wouldn’t recommend torrenting with Web-Leader.net VPN.
The privacy policy for Web-Leader.net is lengthy, and despite it claiming to keep no-logs there are a lot of prohibited activities. I won’t list them all but there are two that made me pause. The first is no searching for security vulnerabilities while using the VPN. Secondly, if you violate a countries laws on VPNs while using a server in that area Web-Leader.net VPN accepts no responsibility.
If I’m 100% anonymous and it’s truly no-logs, how would a country or the VPN know what I was using it for? In the privacy policy it states that Web-Leader.net can’t/won’t verify that its affiliates don’t use your personal information when you click on follow through links. If the VPNs working correctly, they shouldn’t get any of my information when I click on the link anyway. Seems fishy.
