I didn’t find any dedicated video or gaming servers like I found when I tested NordVPN or any rocket-fueled 10 Gbps servers for handling rush-hour streaming traffic like the servers you’ll find in my Surfshark review. Server selection was basic with Phantom VPN. Maybe the company saves that for its Prime package. I was expecting something sophisticated given Avira’s antivirus background, but this was a complete black box with zero customization. Under that, I switched on Avira’s malware blocker. Inside the display settings, I could toggle on dark or light mode. The gear at the top of the Avira Phantom app, next to where my paid subscription should have been, opened up my settings panel. Phantom VPN’s settings are about as bare-bones as you can get. Is the VPN worth considering by itself? I spent a week testing Avira Phantom VPN - features, customer support, security, and privacy - so I’ll shed some light on whether it’s worth your time. Its all-in-one plans go for an affordable $80 per year, but it also sells a stand-alone VPN for about six bucks a month. But there are others.Īvira is primarily in the antivirus business. Norton LifeLock plans are probably the most well known, offering the whole kit and caboodle - from ID theft and malware protection to a VPN and secure cloud storage. Many now offer security bundles: one subscription with all the tools you need to stay safe online. The good news is that digital security providers have gotten that memo.
The problem is juggling 10 different subscriptions from as many companies. The problem for all of us security-minded folks isn’t taking precautions. Judging from the most recent trends in online fraud, 1 we need a lot more than we’re getting. There are a lot of products and services that claim you won’t survive a day on the open web without them. Ad blockers, antivirus protection, virtual private networks - the list goes on.
