Not great on captive networks -- I can maybe connect 50% of the time without having to turn off my VPN, connect to the network, turn on the VPN again, hope it works on the first try, etc. I've also been forced to reinstall the certificate more than once as part of this dance. Overall, Encrypt.me is becoming more hassle than it's worth.
I’m in my fifth year of using this service, having first signed up in 2015. Over the years, there have been periods when it worked better and others when it worked less well, but it’s been working just fine during the last few years. My problem is that my environment is evolving beyond the vendor's capabilities: most importantly, the lack of a Linux client. Both my laptop and my NAS are running Linux variants, which means that I have to find a solution which will support those platforms, in addition to the Mac OS and iOS devices which I’ve mostly used when I’ve been traveling and forced to use public Wi-Fi networks. As my world evolves toward a private cloud model based on the NAS, I need secure, encrypted remote access to that server as much or more than I do when I use commercial cloud services. I can get that from OpenVPN, but not from encrypt.me; at least not now.
I am generally happy with Encrypt.me. My only issues are some slow connection times while overseas. Also, locally I find it falls out from time to time. This means I need to be aware it is connected as it doesn’t always apply automatically. It’s no major issue; it just means being aware and manually connecting if using wifi outside of the home. Otherwise, I’m happy.
Sometimes VPN is not available. I need to be able to rely on it and this is not acceptable.
The service works well. There are times on my cell phone, however, when Encrypt.me prevents me from making ANY connection. Usually, there are extenuating circumstances, such as a poor wi-fi connection. But it is difficult to stop my iPhone from trying to use VPN so that I can instead use the cellular connection. I usually can figure out a work-around, but my spouse would never be able to. There is an option in the Mac version to trust a network that was previously considered untrustworthy, but I am unable to find that option in the iOS version.
It seems to work.
Whenever I have an issue you are quick to redpond
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.
Y'all security system and trust me it's done one of the best I have ever seen in my life it worked fine for a while I think it's the federal government block any I've been no one anyways. I need it I want you to fix it it's the best I've ever seen the software of your app works please help me fix it I don't know much about Communications but I know I want my phone encrypted and I wanted within Creek meet y'all message me back and tell me what I got to do to fix it
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...
