Overview:
FastestVPN hails from the Cayman Islands. It’s a British Overseas Territory, that means it’s autonomous in governance. Because of its autonomous nature, FastestVPN can operate without the influence of the government, particularly the Five Eyes alliance.
It’s an alliance of five countries that serves only one purpose: spy on people and share communications intelligence. The region in which a VPN service operates is an important factor because that determines how much freedom it has.
Security and Privacy:
One of the primary uses of a VPN is to secure our internet sessions. VPNs use encryption technology to secure data flowing in and out of the device. Encryption is a method of scrambling data in an unreadable format which could only be deciphered using a unique key.
FastestVPN utilizes AES 256-bit encryption technology which is trusted by security experts around the world. It is also engineered to prevent DNS/IP leak. And in the event connection to the VPN is dropped, Kill Switch feature terminates internet connectivity to prevent IP leak.
By default, FastestVPN uses the OpenVPN protocol. But it allows you the option to choose from multiple internet protocols. The list includes:
-
OpenVPN (UDP and TCP)
-
OpenConnect
-
IKEv2
-
L2TP/IPsec
-
PPTP
-
Xsec
On top of that, FastestVPN ensures that you have a reliable and consistent browsing experience by utilizing Anti-Malware protection, NAT firewall, and Ad-Blocker.
High-Speed Servers
FastestVPN boasts a network of more than 150 high-speed servers around the world. These high-speed servers are also P2P-optimized. What that means is that you get absolutely the best speeds while torrenting. Not many VPNs will let you torrent and also provide fast download speeds.
Global coverage is an important factor to look for in a VPN. It determines how many geographic locations you can spoof at will. The number of servers per regions mean that performance will not get bogged down in the event of high traffic.

Why VPN Matters
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a tool to protect your identity and data online. It’s a tool to provide you with privacy.
In a normal scenario, every internet request is handled by the ISP (Internet Service Provider). It puts your online activity at the mercy of the ISP. It may decide to take a peek, or worse, maintain logs of your online activities. Think of everything you do on the internet being recorded on the ISP’s servers.
VPN establishes connection between your device and its server. It assumes responsibility of fulfilling those internet requests. It grants you a private IP address so that you can spoof your location and identity online. A reliable VPN is a fortress against unwanted traffic and intrusions.
And because you can spoof your location at will, a VPN is also used to bypass geo-restriction. It lets you get around website and content banned by the government.
Conclusion
FastestVPN has the makings of a strong competitor in the VPN space. It’s got the security, the features, and the value to make a name for itself.
