In terms of logging, quite a lot of it occurs but the provider is fully transparent about it. Mac, iOS, and Android platforms support OpenVPN and L2TP/IPsec.Īlthough the platform allows it, you should be careful about torrenting as it may not be legal in places where some of the servers and their owners are located so you could get them and yourself in trouble as they could direct the authorities to you. VPN Gate supports several transport protocols and their combinations for Windows: SSL VPN (recommended), L2TP/IPSec, OpenVPN (TCP, UDP), and Microsoft SSTP. Every VPN server has a dynamic IP address. All the servers are listed on the website, neatly organized in a table along with their uptime, cumulative users, speed, protocols, supported clients, and more. The provider offers access to thousands (12,000+ at the moment, but the number varies constantly) of public VPN relay servers run by volunteers around the world. VPN Gate was launched on March 8, 2013, as the child project of SoftEther VPN Project (opens in new tab) at the University of Tsukuba Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.
