Works great for Canada and Europe from the U.S.

Works as well as Astrill for Europe and Canada from the U.S.. A 1-hour HD video streamed from the U.K. without stuttering. Live video also viewed without stuttering. Speedtest results for the European IPs connected via PPTP range from 4-7 mbps download and around 2 mbps for upload, and around 19 mbps download and more than 2 mbps upload for Canada. A download speed of 3.5 mbps or more is usually sufficient for HD video, 1.5 mbps or more is usually sufficient for standerd definition (SD) video. Australia is too slow for even SD video. I was getting download speeds of 0.3 mbps from the Adelaide server- so unless this is a temporary malfunction, this does not yet appear to be a useful app for Aussie expats in the U.S. unless they are going to use the U.K. server to obtain access to services that are redundant with Australia.

It is worth keeping in mind that these services involve relaying data through an extra server in the country of choice, and this markedly slows down speeds. I am also starting with a 50 mbps internet service. Others with markedly slower services will not get the same results. For example, one cannot expect 7 mbps download speeds when using a 2 mbps download service. Anyone using this app for video purpose will probably need a 20 mbps download service with no monthly download caps (i.e. business Comcast, rather than consumer Xfinitiy Comcast which has a 250 GB per month cap).

This app is fairly priced, considering that it is missing some bells and whistles other more expensive services such as Astrill and VPNUK have such as openVPN, and direct web proxy based connections (VPNUK) that increase the internet speed by eliminating the extra node slowdown issue. However, VPN One Click is slightly easier than Astrill to use, and much easier than VPNUK to use, PPTP and L2TP connections will suffice most of the time.
