A great tool to use on my desktop, I had it for awhile and I just started using it. This was the best choice for VPN. It operates smoothly in the background without any issues and enables me to acce... See more

App is simple & quick to use. But after VPN gets connected, internet is not working at all. And when connected via OpenVPN option, the internet bandwidth is too low. Majority of servers are not getti... See more

In general it works well, although internet speed, which here in colombia is pretty poor anyway, reduces so that sometimes things become impossible, but that is not because of Goose. Pity it was down... See more

My normal programs run slower

My normal programs run slower, when I disconnect they run fine. Could log in to several programs on my mobile with it enabled.

Good software, lacking access points on the West Coast.

I like the VPN software, but wish they had locations on the west coast of the US, or Vancouver Canada area. I notice a lag compared with my previous VPN provider and think it is mainly due to not having access to a local access point. I also noticed an increase in ReCaptcha verifications that I did not have with my previous VPN for certain websites. Hopefully their services will continue to grow.

OK if you do not wish to send email

My web domain host is playing up (that's another story - see Hostgator.com review). To date, I have been able to get round this problem by using Goose VPN's service. However, while doing so enable me to receive mail from my server using a desktop mail app through IMAP, I am unable to send mail to many domains using SMTP (including all address at gmail.com) because that receiving domain blocks anything coming in from the IP addresses that GooseVPN is using.
A workaround is to send mail from the webmail client on my host domain, but that is not ideal.

There also appear to be websites that are inaccessible when using GooseVPN which I suspect are for similar reasons, but I am not 100% sure.

The problem seems to be that GooseVPN has but a few IP addresses that it uses and these have been blacklisted by many other domains.

Hi Norman Alien,

Thank you for the review.

We are sorry to hear that you are currently experiencing issues with sending mails and visiting multiple websites.

Experiencing issues with mailing can be solved in most situations, it is possible that the issue is caused by your mail client, for example. Using a different mail client, or changing the configuration of the current mail client might solve the issue.

Could you also inform us of the websites that you try to access? We currently offer more than 50 servers, it might be possible that some of our IP-addresses are detected, but it is highly unlikely that this is the case for all the websites that you are trying to access.

Could you contact our support with the information mentioned above? It is possible to contact our support via: support@goosevpn.com.

We happily await your message via our support! :-)

Kind regards,
Rudwan

Easy set up and works great

Everything was super easy to set up, and it is easy to turn on and off as needed. I freaked out a bit when I started getting random pieces of information that I was in a different location. I realized it was the VPN and once I was assured that I wasn't lost...I was fine. :)

The app on my PC has issues connecting to servers and bugs when I click connect. I was sad to see that Goose VPN doesn't provide SOKS.

Having big issues with DNS leaks…

Having big issues with DNS leaks unfortunately. The company has been responsive in support, but no solution as yet. I'm only writing a review at this time as the GooseVPN app prompted me to..... We'll see if we can get it resolved. Seems like a great company though.

Dear Tony Ryan,

Thank you for the review.
We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing DNS leaks on your device.

We offer multiple solutions that prevent DNS leaks while using our service. On some platforms, there is a built-in feature that will prevent your DNS requests from being leaked.

On most devices, it is also possible to manually configure DNS addresses, which also solve the situation in many scenarios.

At the time of writing your review, you mentioned that there has been no solution yet. Do you still experience issues with DNS leaks? If so, we would appreciate it if you could contact our support, since we would be happy to assist you!

We also offer remote assistance on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS devices.

Kind regards,

Best Affordable VPN - plus the Goose Egg is fun!

Goose VPN has so far worked great on all my devices, and the price of it is such a steal! I am so grateful for that because our security is so important with the rise of hackers, but not many people can afford high quality VPNs. I used Express VPN before, but it didn't feel worth the cost so I cancelled. Then my accounts got hacked including my bank, amazon, and social accounts. I was looking for an alternative that I could afford long term and then found Goose. I absolutely love their branding also, it's fun to activate the "Goose Egg". I will recommend Goose to everyone I know.
