I purchased a paid subscription for…

I purchased a paid subscription for iTop VPN on Windows, expecting stable performance and no ads. Instead, I experienced frequent connection drops, unstable speeds, and intrusive advertising — even though this is a paid product.
For a VPN service, reliability and stability are the most important features. Unfortunately, in my experience, iTop VPN fails at both. The connection often doesn’t work at all, and when it does, it can disconnect unexpectedly.
I cannot recommend this service to anyone looking for a dependable VPN. Very disappointing experience.

Avoid iTop VPN – 30-day money-back guarantee ignored, refund refused after 4+ months

Purchased a 2-year subscription by mistake on October 5, 2025 (5599 RUB). Realized the error immediately and requested cancellation/refund through their cancellation section and support.
Timeline:
Opened chargeback with my bank (Sberbank) right away → denied because "service is provided in full".
Contacted iTop support: told to wait 30 days due to "pending funds".
After 30 days: "funds not received" → advised to contact payment processor (they confirmed funds went to iTop).
Then: "wait 120 days from activation".
After 120+ days (now 140+ days passed): offered "additional features" instead of refund.
Insisted on refund only → last messages ignored for 7+ days.
Subscription still active, no cancellation, no refund.
Their official Refund Policy clearly states 30-day full money-back guarantee for all subscription plans. They violated it completely with delays, contradictions, and ignoring requests.
Sent formal claim to support, media — no response. Bank refused chargeback again.
This seems like deliberate evasion. I do not recommend iTop VPN — poor support, misleading refund policy, and bad faith handling. 1 star only because the app might work for some, but customer service is unacceptable.

My reply to iTop VPN’s latest response:
Thank you for your reply.
You directly stated:
“In this case, we will not provide any evidence and will notify our partners about the need to refund the funds.”
This means you yourself acknowledge that a refund of 5,599 RUB is required and are ready to initiate it.
I request a full refund of 5,599 RUB to my original card within 7 days, along with confirmation (transaction ID or screenshot).
If the money is not received by March 15, 2026, I will continue public disclosure of this case and further escalation with the Hong Kong Consumer Council (Case No. 301/113963/2026 is already under active review).
I am waiting for confirmation of the refund.

Update as of March 16, 2026:
It has now been 5 months since the purchase.
iTop VPN has still not returned a single ruble.
After their public reply on Trustpilot (“we will notify our partners about the need to refund the funds”), I contacted support the same day — complete silence. No reply, no refund, no confirmation.
They continue to ignore all messages, even though they publicly admitted on Trustpilot that the refund is necessary.
The money has still not been refunded.
iTop, return the 5,599 RUB to my card. This is no longer “support” — this is clear fraud with your own money-back guarantee.
Update:
After more than 5 months of fighting, iTop VPN finally returned my 5,599 RUB.
The money was received via bank transfer.
However, it took an incredibly long time, many ignored messages, contradictory answers and pressure from the Hong Kong Consumer Council (Case No. 301/113963/2026) to make it happen.
If you are thinking about buying from iTop VPN — be prepared that getting a refund (even when they promise 30-day money-back guarantee) can turn into a real nightmare.
The refund was eventually made, but the service and support were terrible.

Hi,

Originally, we can arrange a direct refund as we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. Since you submitted a dispute/chargeback, the refund cannot be processed because the amount is frozen, and the only option is to wait for the payment platform & bank to resolve the dispute. We have explained this to you many, many times in our emails.

Actually, our partner has notified us about the dispute/chargeback. The regular process for us to deal with the disputes is to provide evidence to prove that the order is finished and we have delivered the product. Then they will arbitrate. Our colleague has handled the dispute/chargeback by providing the evidence, and the final result is that we won the dispute. According to the rules of our partner payssion, the disputed order cannot be refunded.

Finally, we have made our best effort to arrange a direct refund of the full amount of 5,599 RUB to you via SBP (Faster Payments System). If users encounter any issue with iTop products, it is suggested that they contact us (the manufacturer) for a quick solution or refund before submitting a dispute or chargeback. Otherwise, the process will be more complicated and take longer to resolve.

Regards,

Reasonable product but bad customer experience with auto renewals.

I have moved my rating from 1 star to 3 stars.
It took a while, some emails were sent and via my payment provider correspondence was fine, and everything refunded. It should not have happened and it took a bit longer than expected.

The product isn't to bad to be honest, and I do like it, it is a pity the database wasn't installed in a different format, as I would like to use the dualsafe password vault with linux too.

I cannot in all honesty with the vendors response and full refund, say that I like the product and keep the review at 1 star, I will set it a 3 stars and advise caution. (3.5 would suit me fine)

Original unedited review below.
------------------------------------
These people renewed a subscription after I cancelled it, they took the money after cancelling and ironically the product remains inactive reminding me it should be renewed,

Not to be trusted, if they reactivate cancelled subscriptions this is an act of fraud.

My complaint is with the recorder BUT NOW FIVE STARS

My complaint is with the recorder. I had been using the Screen recorder for quite a long time now, the Paid Version LIFETIME LICENSE, they asked me to UPGRADE their new one, I did but I paid for a NEW VERSION which is IDENTICAL to the one already in my possession! I IMMEDIATLY request a refund given the absolute silliness of paying AGAIN for a LIFETIME license that at this point is a joke. In 2 requests by my registered email I HAVE RECEIVED ZERO ANSWER, beside the Screen recorder is not so incredible, I WONDER will they answer me and REFUND me given their 30 days refund guarantee??? for now a STAR until they rectify and refund me for this useless upgrade.

NEWSBREAK:
THE COMPANY HAS REFUNDED ME IN FULL.
I always appreciate when a software company refunds you proving they are honest and loyal to their customers.
WELL DONE , Thank You

Scareware

This program is scareware Other programs from Iobit spams my computer with commercials and "warnings" that my IP and personal information is supposed to be exposed on the internet. OF COURSE my IP is visible, that is how data from the internet is sent to MY computer and not just a random computer! AND I USE A VPN SERVICE, so NO, my personal information is NOT exposed on the internet as Iobit claims!!!

Unwanted Software Install

Download 1 product, get 3-4 extra with pop-ups included.

Very Old-School company. Just like in 1999, if you download a trial version of one of their products you get all of their products pushed down your thoat. As an extra you get 'reminders' in the form of pop-ups and they automaticaly create shortcuts in lower task bar.

1 Gb of software, just to try their Driver updater, (which is capped at 1 driver update per day).

Even IF the product I wanted to test is fabulous. I will never hand 1 cent to this company as long as they act like the obnoxious classmate from middle school.

See ya. Wouldn't wanna be ya.

So... you're telling me you think it is a fine idea to remind me every day, multiple times every day, that you have free access to every facet of my computer and that you intend to use that access, at will, for any purpose you feel like pursuing.

You have no regard for my need to work undisturbed and uninterrupted, you will take over my screen and splash gigantic flashy windows that I have seen two dozen times before just as I am deep in a problem, struggling to be creative, communicating confidentially.

This makes sense to you?

"Hey Johnster! Just want to remind you we can see and do anything we want on your computer whenever we like, and we will, and, sure, this time is for trying to sell you stuff (again), but when you think about it you have no clue what we're doing in there. All you know for sure is we can take over, and we will, and good luck with that, pal. Buy something. Now. Dammit."

This is your idea of consumer friendly?

Or is it more like you have no concern for "consumer friendly", you have no concern for me or my data or my work in progress, you just need to beat me over the head with self-conjured evidence of your ineffable greatness and force me to buy stuff.

Because, no.

You honestly think this is a grand idea? You clearly put a lot of time and money and effort behind it. Which is all the evidence anyone with half a brain needs to know they better move along, fast.

Their Game Booster more like PC-Crusher

I don't like their product called "Smart Game Booster". Whoever installed this product already encountered first problems and Windows turns into unusable system or the whole PC is already wrecked because of this product. Their products shouldn't behave like "Rogueware" what objects to be uninstalled because it can instantly trigger the red light in persons minds, disabling important Windows services by this product always leads to more consequences than use while playing the games because of this product. Overclocking PC is very dangerous for non-advanced persons and this function should be disabled in default to prevent damaging PC even further because PC repairs ain't cheap these days. I can't believe how this product can overclock PC without more improved things such as: Displaying an information about overclocking & consequences from it, a product shouldn't apply overclocking by itself, but should ask an user first did he wants to do it or not. Costant annoying pop ups & nagware to force an user to install more of their apps & pay for paid version is another part of the cons in their products - because it'll bring more hate to this company than positive reviews, this software already caused too much trouble for the users from "Steam" platform - not to mention that this product is really difficult to uninstall since it behaves like the true "rogueware" product. If the company can't do a crap to make their products more stable & less problematic - they should stop advertising their products & do something useful for the community like: Listening to their suggestions, opinions and etc.
