Atlas VPN is considered recent, it came out in 2022 and all it takes is time. Many popular VPN services aren't the best either and have been tweaking and fixing bugs for years, Atlas VPN is no exception. The main advantage is the record low price, along with the free version, there is a Shield feature with blocking adverts, trackers and more. Also, as mentioned in this great review, Atlas VPN doesn't store your data and unblocks many streaming services, all for $1.64 per month. Personally, I'm willing to forgive some shortcomings, such as a laggy and slightly unfinished Windows app. But for the promise of not storing your data and actively releasing updates and improvements. This is the best VPN service for all regular users.
Superior to Surfshark and Windscribe - better value and better deal overall. 10/10 high recommend them for stacked social discount, $80 for 10 years. WHOOOOO! My new personal favorite VPN. Recommend.
There are hardly any server locations and the speed reduction has been significant from 500mbs down to 80 mbs. The Windows application is full of bugs and Atlas causes my internet to disconnect when my system sleeps and there is no way to reset my network short of a full reboot. Interfered with my printer and application constantly asks to install updates that fail and cause even more problems unless you uninstall manually and then download update and manually install. The streamed video is slow and freezes. I am 45 days into my 3 year subscription and they refuse to cancel my membership and refund the outstanding balance. I will be reporting to credit card company as a fraud.
