BulletVPN Review

BulletVPN Review: Gone are the days when a VPN was just a choice, pertaining to today’s Internet censorship and all the tracks the govt. keeps of its citizens, a VPN is a necessity in today’s terms.

Must check: A decade back, a VPN was used only by those who were involved in illicit activities on the internet, today? Not so much. Anyone and everyone who so much as checks their Facebook accounts from a public or even a personal computer can appreciate the need of a good VPN.

And contrary to public opinion, a VPN does a lot more than just “Hide your IP”. So before embarking on the journey of this BulletVPN review, let’s contemplate the need of a VPN to begin within the first place.

When and Why do you Need a VPN?

If you’re on this BulletVPN review, you definitely have been acquainted with what a VPN is, so I wouldn’t beat that drum again, but let me just walk you through what other shields a VPN provides apart from simply masking your IP address.

Masking the IP is of course the primary weapon a VPN has in its arsenal, but how it effects you and its consequences aren’t singular.

• Change in Location: When a VPN masks your IP address, the primary change it means for you is that your location on the Internet is changed. You get a fresh set of IP address, and the IP address is what’s used to determine your physical location over the Internet. So a new IP means a new location for you, and you’re free to choose a location of your choice with BulletVPN (or any other VPN as a matter of fact!).
• Secure Connection over Public Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi connections generally provided in Cafeterias, libraries and other public places aren’t secure. Connecting to them over your native IP is dangerous as that can lead to your device being compromised.
• Prevents Hacking Attempts: The easiest way to get into anyone’s device over the Internet is gaining access to their IP addresses. Once the IP address has been compromised, there are various kinds of attacks and payloads one can deliver to your system, hence gaining unrestricted access to it. So by using a VPN, you mask your IP address which leads to the VPNs servers in some remote datacenter, in other words, it can’t be used to hack into your systems.
• Accessing Blocked Content: Going back to the “Govt. Internet censorship” topic, many sites including giants such as  Google and Youtube, Netflix etc. are banned in certain countries. So the only way to access them is to mask your IP address, after doing so you appear to be a resident of some other country and then you’re allowed access to those sites.
• Better Security: You needn’t be a hacker, or a deep web geek in order to need a VPN. VPN connections use better security protocols to connect to the Internet compared to our everyday connections, so regardless of you being as clean (or not so clean) as you are, a VPN is just an overall better protection for your online activities.

These are just some of the benefits a VPN showers you with, but I’m pretty sure these are enough to paint you a picture of how important exactly a VPN is.

BulletVPN Review

Now there are quite a few VPNs out there in the market, so why then are we singing praise-songs for this specific VPN in this BulletVPN review?

We aren’t, it’s just a VPN that had all the features a VPN should have, and then some. So we decided to put forth this BulletVPN review out here for you folks to go through it, and then if you think it suffices your needs and goals (which it probably would), you can go for it.

So here’s a front-row seat for you on the VPN.

1. User-Interface:

The first and foremost aspect I impart my attention to on any platform or tool I review is its User-interface.

Simply because I believe no matter how unique and feature-rich a product is, if the interface is complicated, and users have to go hunting for options and buttons, it’s no good.

Well, that’s not the case with BulletVPN. Its welcoming dashboard is pretty intuitive. So much so that even if this is your first day with a VPN, and you’ve never had a handshake with any kind of VPN before, even then BulletVPN’s dashboard befriends you quickly and you’ll find your way around it with ease.

The dashboard is divided into two sections, the left-sidebar, and the centre-screen.

The left-sidebar is the navigation bar kind of thing letting you reach different sections of BulletVPN. It holds:

• Connect: The primary dashboard, you can use it to connect to a new IP.
• Locations: Helps you select Locations.
• Account: Your account details, E-mail ID, plan details etc.
• Settings: Grants you access to various settings for BulletVPN.

And the center-screen shows you the information related to the link you’ve clicked on the left navigation pane.

In a nutshell, it’s extremely user-friendly. All the options are laid right there, and it’s pretty easy to understand as well.

2. The Connection Process

It takes just 1 single click on the “Connect” button for you to connect to a location of your choice. It took me exactly 9.53 seconds (yeah, I stop-watched) to connect to a location for the first time.

So the connection process is simple, as well as fast.

3. Locations Availability

The primary feature anyone would wish for in a VPN is availability of locations, lots of locations. Well, that’s another aspect BulletVPN doesn’t disappoint you in.

It supports over 20 different countries, including:

• USA
• UK
• Brazil
• Netherlands
• Spain
• India

To name just a few. And most of these countries are armed with Multiple Servers. What this means is that you can connect to more than just one server for that country, and this makes sure that you always get optimal speed by reducing server overload to a single IP.

Another feature that might not be a “deal-maker”, but still exists is its “Favourites” tab. It lets you bookmark your favorites locations by clicking on a star next to them. This provides for easy access and organization for the next time you wish to use that IP.

4. 5 Different Connection Protocols

Remember when I said in the initial sections of this BulletVPN review that VPNs have stronger security protocols? It’s time to walk the talk. BulletVPN offers as many as 5 different connection protocols.

• PPTP
• LT2P
• OpenVPN  (TCP, UDP)

a). PPTP

It stands for Point to Point Tunnelling Protocol. It’s basically a protocol which primarily uses Microsoft Point to Point Encryption.

Being honest, it’s not exactly a “Secure” Protocol, and BulletVPN doesn’t claim it to be secure either. It’s  just an option for you to connect to the internet when there is no other protocol working for you. I am telling you ” no other protocols working ” because sometimes I phased that type issue many times with various VPN services. Other available protocols don’t work at your place then you may try PPTP.

b). L2TP

LT2P denotes Layer 2 Tunnelling Protocol and is most often than not paired up with IPSec.

The fact that L2TP encapsulates your data twice results in a comparatively slower connection, but I’m pretty sure most of us here are willing to sacrifice couple seconds of your life for an eternity of anonymity aren’t we?

It’s AES Cipher is currently one of the strongest existing connections in the industry, and it uses PSKs (Pre-shared-keys) to authenticate connections, what it means for you is that even if the connection is compromised, your data still remains secure.

c). Open VPN

Open VPN is an open source connection protocol which uses Pre-shared static keys, and SSL / TSL certificates in order to authenticate the connections.

There’s no rocket-science to it, it simply let’s you connect over a secure VPN, simple as that.

The whole point of me dragging you through all those connection protocols was to cover every iota of fact for the VPN in this BulletVPN review.

Now most other VPNs out there offer 3 or a maximum of 4 connection protocol, rarely do I cross paths with a VPN offering as many as 5 different connection protocols.

So rest assured, BulletVPN is all set to keep your identity and privacy secure, period.

You can connect to OpenVPN through two connection types: TCP or UDP.

d). TCP

TCP is the abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol. It’s not as fast as UDP, but definitely one of the most reliable connection protocols.

TCP protocol works on a “Check and send” framework. Meaning it sends a data packet, makes sure it has reached its destination, and then sends the other data packet.

This makes sure that every bit of data is being delivered where they should be, but this whole “check” thing makes it a tad bit slower.

e). UDP

UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol. Consider it the careless brother to TCP. It’s basically the same thing, the only difference is that it’s used for connections where “Speed” holds the priority and not a perfect data stream.

Consider “Gaming” or “video-calls”, they can take a bit of data loss as you do not need to get every micro-instance of video, but “speed” is of paramount importance with them and hence UDP is the optimal connection and not TCP.

So basically UDP sends continuous data packets without checking if the earlier packet reached its destination, or not. So there might be a bit of data loss, or disorganization of data due to the data sequence being lost.

But then again, it’s comparatively faster to TCP which gives it its own use.

5. Other Features

Now that we’ve got the “in-tool” features out of the way, let’s have a sneak-peek at some of the other features BulletVPN provides.

a). No Speed Loss

A general myth associated with VPNs is that, VPNs slow your connection down. Well, that might be true for any other VPN out there, but not for BulletVPN.

I personally compared my Internet speed before and after using BulletVPN using Ookla Speed test. And I must say the speed loss was in KBs, which I wouldn’t have even noticed if I wasn’t using a calculative tool such a Ookla.

The reason behind these are BulletVPN houses its servers in Tier-1 countries, so they at all times have the best speed available on the planet.

b). 3- Simultaneous Connections

Why should you pay thrice when you can pay once, well that’s the theory BulletVPN works upon! It let’s you connect to as many as 3 devices simultaneously.

So for any general person owning a Desktop, a Laptop, and a Mobile device, it’s the perfect solution.

c). Unlimited Bandwidth and Server Switching

Unlike quite a few VPNs out there, BulletVPN doesn’t restrict you on the bandwidth. Meaning you’re free to use as much of data on BulletVPN as you wish or need.

So there’s no monthly, weekly or any other limit.

And I’m trying not to sound too excited on this BulletVPN review, but it seems the VPN isn’t done with its features yet, so it included “unlimited server switching” as well.

What that means for you is that you can choose unlimited new IPs, and switch between them as many times as you need. That’s again a premium feature even some of the top players in the industry are void of.

6. Smart DNS

So let’s say you wish to stream Netflix, or BBC or any other online streaming service, only to be disappointed because of the regional restrictions that the govt. and the internet likes to have these days.

Well that’s where Smart DNS comes to the rescue. It’s an additional proxy service, which let’s you stream videos from services which might be restricted in your region (geographically).

To add to all that, Smart DNS can be configured with PS4, Xbox, Xbox 360 and Apple TV as well! The best part is, you do not have to shell out a single buck out of your pockets to use Smart DNS! It’s absolutely free with BulletVPN!

7. No Logs Policy

I believe a VPN isn’t a VPN unless it provides for the No logs policy.

If we’re paying for our anonymity and privacy to be protected, we except a totally clean-slate, and that’s exactly what BulletVPN offers! In fact, this is probably the “best” feature you’ll find about BulletVPN in this BulletVPN review.

It doesn’t keep any logs of your activity, IP address or whatsoever. Completely decentralized and clean, just the way we like it.

8. Kill Switch and Bullet Shield

We all know what a Kill-switch is, don’t we? Well yes, it helps prevent internet connection if and when the VPN connection drops. This ensures that if you’re connected to the Internet, you’re definitely connected via the VPN, or not connected at all.

BulletVPN totally offers the Kill-switch. But it takes the game a notch further and also has introduced the “Bullet Shield”. It basically is the Kill-switch on steroids.

The kill-switch only comes into effect when there’s a “technical” problem, or the server drops. In other words, only when an “ongoing” VPN connection is interrupted. If you choose to close a VPN connection manually, the Kill-switch doesn’t mind.

The Bullet Shield on the other hand is a lot more forceful. Once enabled, it will only allow Internet connections if and when the VPN is connected. You can’t browse the normal Internet if you choose to “not use the VPN”. Sure the Bullet Shield can be disabled and it’s possible afterwards.

Enabling/disabling either of these settings is almost identical, easy and instant. So none of these choices are permanent and they do not completely take over your internet (when disabled).

Pricing

Now after showering down with all those features, one would expect BulletVPN to burn a hole in your pocket, but it doesn’t!

In fact, its pricing is surprisingly dirt-cheap, they’ve got three plans:

• Monthly: $10.98/month
• Yearly: $7.50 /month.
• Half-Yearly: $9.16/month.

The features are essentially the same, the price difference is only because of the renewal cycle. The longer you purchase for, the cheaper the VPN is for you.

Payment Methods:

• Paypal
• Credit Card
• Bitcoins!
• E-wallets/Prepaid cards etc.

And to all that, it adds a 30-day money back guarantee as well. So you’ve got absolutely nothing to lose by any calculation.

My Final words about BulletVPN Review

So wrapping up this BulletVPN review, all I can say is, it provides for all the features you’d expect in a VPN, and then some.

So yeah my vote totally goes out for the VPN.

But before making a decision, I urge you to give the platform a try, nothing can possibly go wrong considering their confident 30-day money back guarantee (and I can nearly assure you, you won’t be needing that!).
