While we wish it offered as many devices as NordVPN, Cloak succeeds in protecting Apple devices connected to public unprotected networks. It also succeeds in unblocking Netflix, but it's not reliable on every server. If you want greater reliability, speed, and quality, i'd recommend NordVPN.
Once installed on the users' devices, the Cloak app automatically creates a VPN connection when the device

Simple for all my iOS/OSX devices
I travel a lot, US and EU, and use airline club, airport and hotel connections - all of which make me nervous, especially because I check my IRAs 2-3 times a day.
Cloak is the third VPN I've tried - I don't remember the names of others because I quickly abandoned them when I found them kludgy and hard to set up. Cloak is SO easy, and shows up as a simple iOS setting choice. I see no speed impact, although I suspect there may be one, and so when I'm connecting to a slow service, I may use it only when transmitting or receiving sensitive data.
Like seatbelts and life jackets, the easier they are to use, the more likely they are to be used. Cloak is easy.

Very, very satisfied
I am into my third year of using IPVanish. I am extremely happy with the speed, reliability, features and reliability. The fact that I have used it for this long without trying the competition speaks volumes. I am never going to try anything else because I am completely happy with what I have. Why risk it?

Although it’s based in Singapore, which sometimes faces censorship issues of their own, Ivacy has proven itself as an exceptional VPN.
The VPN has standard encryption and security with 256-bit military-grade encryption and several protocols including IPSEC, IKeV, L2TP, OpenVPN, TCP and UD.
On top of that, Ivacy has a kill-switch, which will cut your internet connection if there is a leak.

The service is excellent, the responded to my emails was very rapid. It is good around VPN for the money you pay. I did experience a loss in speed while streaming on - line with my Android TV- Box it occasionally cause buffering.
This was over come my changing the connection to another area.
Very easy to install on any device works well.
I have recommended it to others with in my circle of friends.

Chat Support is no longer available
Chat Support was really convenient, that is while it was available. From my experience trying to use it hasn't been an option. I've had service for about 2 months now. Had no problem connecting Android and fire TV. But for some reason have not been able to connect on Windows 10. Was getting some assistance with the Chat Support. But not the case lately. Am now having problems with setting new password. So now I'm unable to connect anything. Have tried email without any progress! 🙄

Ivacy is not P2P friendly in America.
None of their servers in America are p2p friendly. When you find this out and ask for a refund, they'll tell you your out of luck. Despite having a year and a half subscription to their service left, I bought three years of Nordvpn and I'm already far more satisfied with their service.
