Encrypt.meReviews of encrypt.me

It's ok. I like the simplicity of the service on both Mac and Android. Unfortunately, I regularly find my internet speed is slowed down by at least 50% and changing WiFi network sometimes takes a long time.

The service used to work flawlessly. Recently, I notice a lot of interruptions though. Almost every other time I need to reinstall the VPN profile on iOS due to an "internal error". Often the iOS app shows "no internet connection" although I am connected perfectly fine. I need to force shut the app and the it works sometimes; other times I need to move the slider in the app to on then back to off to get a connection. It is really irritating and I hope encrypt.me goes back to its roots, i.e. Cloak, that were the times...

I needed you and you said I wasn't a subscriber on a recent trip. What's with that!?

I needed a Polish IP to use some services but on selecting Poland as transporter, my new IP is detected as Romanian (Bucharest)

encrypt.me isn't as seamlessly usable then before. There are many times where I have to disable encrypt.me to get back on to the network again. I cannot tell if it's an unreachable server due to my country selection or something else but it happens in networks where it worked before as well.

1) Windows app is in Beta for years now. It seems like it is not a priority. 2) One huge thing for a common user is to be able to bypass geographical restrictions using a VPN service which you cannot promise, I understand that you market encrypt.me from a privacy and security angle but still there are times when I want to watch BBC iplayer and I just simply cannot do that with this app. Why can't it do both functions? 3) Name is horrible. Cloak was a much better name.

I've been a subscriber to EncryptMe (fka Cloak) for a long time, and to varying degrees. However I see the VPN menu bar app frequently disconnect and attempt reconnect during minor usage. This happens when selected points are San Jose / San Francisco / Los Angeles in CA, Seattle WA, and Denver CO. Cannot use top level "fastest network" because then banks don't recognize my connection. Providing a selection for regional fastest would probably be good for mitigating all of the above? There have been no updates to the app in a very long time to address things like this (presuming local machines could be partly at issue).

Wonky. Only works sometimes and then with mixed results. No real rhyme nor reason why. Have given up on feedback.
