Free VPN vs. Paid VPN Service

Free VPN services typically offer limited choice of VPN protocols compared to paid VPN providers. Many protocols like PPTP or OpenVPN with default algorithm (BF-CBC, Blowfish with 128-bit key) have security concerns, known exploits and are vulnerable to attacks. Best VPN service provider offers secure protocols and encryption algorithms.

Ace VPN advantage: Your subscription includes popular VPN protocols like OpenVPN, IPSEC IKEv2, IPSEC IKEv1, L2TP, PPTP and Stealth VPN. Both OpenVPN and IPSEC IKEv2 support Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) suitable for highly secure communication. Our Stealth VPN, based on Tor’s obfs, make your traffic appear like web traffic to get around deep packet inspection (DPI) seen in China, Egypt, Iran, Middle East, etc. to block VPN.

It is no secret, Free VPN services crawl like tortoise. Low latency and high quality bandwidth is expensive. Free VPN bandwidth is somewhat restricted due to lack of funds and they usually have more users sharing the same pipe to Internet.

Ace VPN advantage: Our servers are connected to multi-gigabit Internet backbone. We neither overload nor oversell. We design and size our network for high traffic, do not saturate our network and easily handle surge in traffic without slowing your Internet or VPN tunnel.

What use is VPN if it is not accessible when you need it. Availability is a point of consideration if you need constant secure connectivity. Free services typically have uptime issues in combination with the bandwidth problem.

Ace VPN advantage: We boast 100% service uptime since our inception in 2009.

Knowledge comes from learning and experience. Experienced staff come with additional cost and increased overhead. Many free and paid providers cheap out by either outsourcing or hiring inexperienced personnel resulting in frustrating user support.

Ace VPN advantage: Our engineers are highly trained and experienced. We offer 24×7 support, free remote installation on your computer and take away the pains of technology. Reach out to us with your questions, see the difference.

Free services include limited choice of servers and locations due to higher cost in maintaining such service. Unfortunately, few paid VPN providers are faking location by changing IP whois. Fake locations often result in higher latency and poor connectivity.

Ace VPN advantage: Our servers are globally distributed in 25+ countries and 50+ locations (and data centers) with bandwidth mix from several global providers. Result is faster speeds, lower latency, great peering, and better connectivity.
