The need for VPN services is increasing with the increase in cyber threats, which has ignited the flames of competition in this market. Among the companies that compete in this sector is iTopVPN.
What drives me to write about it are the tempting offers it has been offering recently. But before addressing these offers, we will try to address its features, pros and cons in a way that makes you decide if it is really worth trying.

My impression
iTopVPN is currently one of the best VPN services on the market, and what makes it special is the amount of features it offers and its interesting pricing plans. However, iTop needs to add some fundamental features, such as OpenVPN, and fix the aforementioned flaws/cons. The main serious flaw, for me, is the lack of Linux support, which the company should fix it as soon as possible.
