Verdict</h2><div class="jsx-2580530280 block-text"><div><p>X-VPN is a freemium VPN service that excels at streaming with a huge network of 8,000+ servers. Its website, logging policy, and general transparency have improved hugely, but we can’t ignore its ties to China, reliance on close-sourced VPN protocols, and poor results in our speed tests. Overall, X-VPN is a solid choice for streamers but its free version is awful and not worth using.</p> </div></div></div><div class="jsx-1456802543 switcher free"><input type="radio" name="switcher_pf"

We’d like X-VPN to fix this disparity as it wastes time having to open a separate menu and locate the dedicated servers. </p> <p>Better VPNs, like NordVPN, automatically assign you a server within its normal server list that works with the streaming service.</p> <p>We also found that X-VPN works with Netflix Australia, but its slow international speeds meant that the stream took <b>over 3 minutes to load</b>.</p> <h3>Works with BBC iPlayer</h3> <p>While connected to GB-Video-B, <b>X-VPN reliably unblocked BBC iPlayer</b>.</p> <div id="attachment_1542163" style="width: 2570px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1542163" loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.top10vpn.com/images/2024/06/x-vpn-bbc-iplayer-mac-scaled.webp" alt="Streaming BBC iPlayer's live coverage of Glastonbury with X-VPN" width="2560" height="1290" class="size-full wp-image-1542163"><p id="caption-attachment-1542163" class="wp-caption-text">We used X-VPN to stream live content on BBC iPlayer.</p></div> <p>This worked to stream both live content and on demand without any issues. However, we found that X-VPN’s standard UK servers weren’t as consistent at unblocking BBC iPlayer and often required a second or third attempt. </p> <h3>X-VPN Free Streaming Tests</h3> <p><b>X-VPN’s Free tier is a bad choice for streaming</b> as it fails to unblock a single platform. This has been the case since testing began and is unlikely to change.</p> <p>As X-VPN Free automatically assigns you the server closest to your real-life location, it makes it impossible to spoof your location and unblock geo-restricted content. </p> <p>We even tried using our free US server to unblock localized content, like Hulu or Max, but <b>the VPN was detected every time</b>. </p> <p>If you want a <a href="https://www.top10vpn.com/best-vpn/streaming/">free VPN for streaming</a> then we suggest using <a href="https://www.top10vpn.com/reviews/windscribe/">Windscribe Free</a>. It can stream 5 Netflix libraries, more than either version of X-VPN, as well as Max, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video.</p> </div></div></div></section><section id="speed" class="jsx-3190958244

VPN apps for all platforms that aren’t difficult to activate or use. However, there are some odd design choices, like separate server lists and ads, which can make the overall user experience frustrating.</p></div><div class="jsx-3190958244 section-chapter"><div id="" class="jsx-2580530280 block-text"><div><p>To begin using X-VPN, click ‘<b>Get Started</b>’ on its website and create an account. Then download the appropriate VPN app onto your chosen device.</p> <p>This entire process only took us <b>around 5 minutes to complete</b> and you can speed it up on desktop by selecting the option to log in via mobile.</p> <p>X-VPN uses a plain white app design across all platforms with a central power button that turns blue when connected. While we found it straightforward to connect to the VPN — just tap or click the button — <b>we discovered several usability issues</b> beyond this basic function. For example, when choosing a server or navigating the app. </p> <p>Here’s a more detailed overview of our experience using X-VPN on different devices and platforms: </p> <h3>Desktop & Laptop (Windows & macOS)</h3> <p>X-VPN is identical on Windows and Mac, with the same interface and available features. While we appreciate its simplicity, <b>its desktop apps lack the feel of a bespoke VPN app</b>.</p> <p>Its home screen doesn’t have any graphical elements, like an interactive widget, and the X-VPN logo is tiny, all of which results in a generic, bland, and two-dimensional appearance. For instance, Windscribe’s PC app includes a toggleable widget for its kill switch and its interface changes to the flag of the country you’re currently connected to. </p> <p><picture><source media="(max-width: 768px)" srcset="https://www.top10vpn.com/images/2024/03/x-vpn-windows-vs-macos-m.webp"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.top10vpn.com/images/2024/03/x-vpn-windows-vs-macos.webp" alt="X-VPN's apps for Windows and macOS" width="1520" height="672" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1425715"></picture></p> <p>The apps themselves are easy enough to use and only require a single click to connect. However, we’d like to see the speciality servers for gaming, streaming, and torrenting integrated into the standard server list to make navigation quicker.</p> <p>We’d also appreciate the option to resize the desktop apps, particularly the Windows client. When we tried to watch Hulu with X-VPN we found that the VPN actually obscured most of our screen, resulting in a frustrating viewing experience. </p> <p>This issue isn’t as pressing on Mac as you can add X-VPN to your menu bar within the app settings.</p> <h3>Mobile (iPhone & Android)</h3> <p>X-VPN’s white-blue color palette and simplistic app design looks much better on a smaller screen, compared to its PC and Mac apps. Though better-designed, we actually found X-VPN much harder to use on mobile than on desktop.</p> <p><picture><source media="(max-width: 768px)" srcset="https://www.top10vpn.com/images/2024/03/x-vpn-android-vs-ios-m.webp"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.top10vpn.com/images/2024/03/x-vpn-android-vs-ios.webp" alt="X-VPN's apps for Android and iOS" width="1520" height="752" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1425490"></picture></p> <p>X-VPN’s mobile apps feature a permanent banner ad along the bottom of the screen which we found distracting and annoying. Even worse, the iOS app frequently displays a full screen pop-up ad which redirects you to a webpage if you accidentally click on it.</p> <p>On the free version, we discovered that you can connect to a further four server locations in the US, UK, Germany, and India, but only if you watch an unskippable ad. We found this an odd design choice and it became annoying after multiple hours of testing.</p> <p>We did like that both mobile apps included a dark mode and a ‘follow system settings’ option. Moving forward, we’d like to see more mobile-specific features like iOS shortcuts or GPS spoofing for Android.</p> <h3>Streaming Devices (Fire TV, Apple TV & Android TV)</h3> <p>X-VPN’s apps for Fire TV, Apple TV, and Android TV are functional and follow the same loose design as its desktop and mobile apps.</p> <div id="attachment_726409" style="width: 1196px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-726409" loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.top10vpn.com/images/2022/08/x-vpn-firestick-main-menu.png" alt="The main menu for X-VPN's Amazon Fire TV app." width="1186" height="723" class="size-full wp-image-726409"><p id="caption-attachment-726409" class="wp-caption-text">X-VPN’s Amazon Fire TV App doesn’t come with any extra features.</p></div> <p>The apps are basic but you do have complete access to the X-VPN server network, including its streaming-optimized servers. </p> <p>Its newly-released Apple TV app is its most developed, with a functioning kill switch and slick design. We also liked that we could log into its tvOS app using our mobile device.

It allows you to exclude specific apps from the VPN tunnel, like a weather or banking app. </p> <h3>Restrictive Double VPN Feature</h3> <p>You can enable <a href="https://www.top10vpn.com/guides/what-is-double-vpn/">double VPN</a> within your X-VPN app settings to route your traffic through two VPN servers instead of one. This enhances your online anonymity by adding a second intermediary between your device and the internet.</p> <p>Sadly, <b>this feature is only available on paid plans</b> and you can’t choose the server locations your connection is routed through. We’d like to see X-VPN implement server choice for its double VPN feature, like NordVPN and Surfshark do. </p> <h3>Static IP Is Limited to Mobile Apps Only</h3> <p>X-VPN provides a <a href="https://www.top10vpn.com/guides/vpn-static-ip/">Static VPN IP</a> feature but only for paid plans on its mobile apps. To access it, go to <b>Advanced Features</b> > <b>Static IP</b> and you’ll be presented with a choice of recent VPN IP addresses you’ve used.</p> <p>These IP addresses are only stored on your device and are not logged by the VPN service.</p> <p>We’d like to see X-VPN add the option of a dedicated IP address, too. This is an IP address only you can access which lets you set up IP blocklists, secure remote connections, and more. </p> <h3>Technical Features We’d Like to See Added</h3> <p>X-VPN has substantially improved its available features in recent years, but it’s still missing some advanced options. Here’s a summary of some features we’d like to see added:</p> <div class="block-highlighted block-highlighted--light"> <ul> <li><b>Ad Blocker</b> to ensure a smooth browsing experience free from ads.</li> <li><b>Kill switch</b> for free users on mobile.</li> <li><b>Dedicated IP addresses</b> for secure remote access and to bypass CAPTCHAs on search engines.</li> <li><b>Multi-hop server choice</b> to tailor your double VPN connection to your needs.</li> </ul> </div> </div></div></div></section></div><div class="jsx-3190958244 jumplinks-col"><aside class="jsx-556200270"><div class="jsx-556200270 jumplinks"><div class="jsx-556200270 toc-mobile"><button class="jsx-556200270"><span class="jsx-556200270">Jump to</span><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" class="jsx-556200270 icon-chevron-down"><use xlink:href="#svg-chevron" class="jsx-556200270"></use></svg></button><a href="https://xvpn.io/pricing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="button-primary" data-swiftype-index="false" data-outlink-cta="true">Visit Site</a></div><ol class="jsx-556200270 main-list"><li class="jsx-556200270"><a href="?tab=overview" class="jsx-556200270 nav-link">Overview</a></li><li class="jsx-556200270"><a href="?tab=key_data" class="jsx-556200270 nav-link">Key Data</a></li><li class="jsx-556200270"><a href="?tab=full_review" class="jsx-556200270 nav-link">Full Review</a></li><li class="jsx-556200270 "><a href="#privacy" class="jsx-556200270 ">Privacy</a></li><li class="jsx-556200270 "><a href="#streaming" class="jsx-556200270 ">Streaming</a></li><li class="jsx-556200270 "><a href="#speed" class="jsx-556200270 ">Speed</a></li><li class="jsx-556200270 "><a href="#security" class="jsx-556200270 ">Security</a></li><li class="jsx-556200270 "><a href="#server_locations" class="jsx-556200270 ">Server Locations</a></li><li class="jsx-556200270 "><a href="#user_experience" class="jsx-556200270 ">User Experience</a></li><li class="jsx-556200270 "><a href="#torrenting" class="jsx-556200270 ">Torrenting</a></li><li class="jsx-556200270 "><a href="#device_compatibility" class="jsx-556200270 ">Device Compatibility</a></li><li class="jsx-556200270 "><a href="#additional_features" class="jsx-556200270 ">Additional Features</a></li></ol></div></aside><div class="jsx-3190958244 big-screen-only-cta"><a href="https://xvpn.io/pricing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="button-primary mod--slim" data-swiftype-index="false" data-outlink-cta="true">Get X-VPN</a><div class="jsx-562480219 ut_ctas"><span class="jsx-562480219"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path fill="#000" d="M2.284 10.573h8.341l-2.451 2.451c-.531.514.29 1.337.805.805l3.428-3.427a.571.571 0 0 0 0-.805L8.98 6.169a.571.571 0 0 0-.806.805l2.451 2.457h-8.34a.572.572 0 0 0 0 1.142ZM21.71 13.429h-8.324l2.45-2.457c.532-.514-.29-1.337-.804-.805l-3.428 3.428a.571.571 0 0 0 0 .805l3.427 3.428c.514.53 1.337-.291.805-.805l-2.45-2.451h8.323a.572.572 0 0 0 0-1.143Z"></path></svg>Compare</span><div class="jsx-3423548836 comparison-cta multi"><input id=":R5ar6em:" type="checkbox" readonly="" class="jsx-3423548836"/><label for=":R5ar6em:" class="jsx-3423548836 cta-button"><span class="jsx-3423548836 l-wrapper"><span class="jsx-3423548836 l-label"><i class="jsx-3423548836">Free</i></span><span class="jsx-3423548836 l-active-state"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" class="jsx-3423548836 icon-tick"><use xlink:href="#svg-tick" class="jsx-3423548836"></use></svg><i class="jsx-3423548836">Removed</i></span></span></label></div><div class="jsx-3423548836 comparison-cta multi"><input id=":R7ar6em:" type="checkbox" readonly="" class="jsx-3423548836"/><label for=":R7ar6em:" class="jsx-3423548836 cta-button"><span class="jsx-3423548836 l-wrapper"><span class="jsx-3423548836 l-label"><i class="jsx-3423548836">Paid</i></span><span class="jsx-3423548836 l-active-state"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" class="jsx-3423548836 icon-tick"><use xlink:href="#svg-tick" class="jsx-3423548836"></use></svg><i class="jsx-3423548836">Removed</i></span></span></label></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="jsx-1456802543 container-row feedback-wrapper"><div class="feedback-wrapper ut-row"><div style="height:27.5px;margin:0 auto calc(var(--base-unit) * 30)"></div></div></div></main><footer id="footer" data-swiftype-index="false" class="jsx-4062602538 footer"><div class="jsx-4062602538 container-row footer-trio"><div class="jsx-4062602538 footer-company"><div class="jsx-4062602538 logo"><img alt="Top10VPN" loading="lazy" width="184" height="26" decoding="async" data-nimg="1" style="color:transparent" src="/static/images/logo.svg"/></div><p class="jsx-4062602538">We've been testing and reviewing VPN services since 2016.

While we found it straightforward to connect to the VPN — just tap or click the button — \u003cb\u003ewe discovered several usability issues\u003c/b\u003e beyond this basic function. For example, when choosing a server or navigating the app. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s a more detailed overview of our experience using X-VPN on different devices and platforms: \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesktop \u0026#038; Laptop (Windows \u0026#038; macOS)\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eX-VPN is identical on Windows and Mac, with the same interface and available features.

For instance, Windscribe’s PC app includes a toggleable widget for its kill switch and its interface changes to the flag of the country you’re currently connected to. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cpicture\u003e\u003csource media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" srcset=\"https://www.top10vpn.com/images/2024/03/x-vpn-windows-vs-macos-m.webp\"\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://www.top10vpn.com/images/2024/03/x-vpn-windows-vs-macos.webp\" alt=\"X-VPN\u0026#039;s apps for Windows and macOS\" width=\"1520\" height=\"672\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1425715\" /\u003e\u003c/picture\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe apps themselves are easy enough to use and only require a single click to connect. However, we’d like to see the speciality servers for gaming, streaming, and torrenting integrated into the standard server list to make navigation quicker.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’d also appreciate the option to resize the desktop apps, particularly the Windows client. When we tried to watch Hulu with X-VPN we found that the VPN actually obscured most of our screen, resulting in a frustrating viewing experience. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis issue isn’t as pressing on Mac as you can add X-VPN to your menu bar within the app settings.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMobile (iPhone \u0026#038; Android)\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eX-VPN’s white-blue color palette and simplistic app design looks much better on a smaller screen, compared to its PC and Mac apps.

Even worse, the iOS app frequently displays a full screen pop-up ad which redirects you to a webpage if you accidentally click on it.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the free version, we discovered that you can connect to a further four server locations in the US, UK, Germany, and India, but only if you watch an unskippable ad. We found this an odd design choice and it became annoying after multiple hours of testing.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe did like that both mobile apps included a dark mode and a ‘follow system settings’ option.
