Is TigerVPN Safe?

It’s important to know that your data is secure with a VPN service. We use VPNs to protect our data from third parties like spies and ISPs, but in doing so, we essentially give VPN services access to our data like an ISP.

To ensure your browsing data, real IP address, and personal information is not stored, shared, or sold, you need to get a VPN with a strict zero-logs policy. Fortunately, TigerVPN has a no-logging policy that checks out. The provider makes money from VPN subscriptions, not from selling user data.

Moreover, TigerVPN uses military-grade encryption. If you connect to a public wifi network, you can rest assured that no hackers will decipher your data and steal your personal details.

Finally, TigerVPN operates its own server network. Should any security breaches occur on the provider’s servers, the provider can immediately rectify the issue. It also means that the server locations are more secure since there is no third party input as Tiger doesn’t rent its servers.

Is TigerVPN Free?

TigerVPN is not a free service. We don’t recommend using free VPNs since they often make money from selling user data and often don’t use strong, military-grade encryption. Although free VPN products are appealing, it’s important to keep in mind that they often have many security issues.

How Much is TigerVPN?

TigerVPN changes the length of its subscription plans often. At the time of writing, the provider had 4 different price plans on sale.

• The monthly plan costs $11.99 per month.
• For the 6-month plan, 8.33 per month.
• The annual plan costs $6.67 per month, which works out to $80.04 per year.
• TigerVPN also offers a 2-year plan, which is just $4.16 per month.

TigerVPN is quite expensive, given that NordVPN offers its services for $11.95 per month and $4.92 on the annual plan. Given that NordVPN has more servers and more features, it’s interesting that Tiger is considerably more expensive.

Does TigerVPN Have a Lifetime Subscription?

TigerVPN has been known the offer users lifetime access to its services in the form of a lifetime subscription. However, at the time of writing, we didn’t see this on offer.

Are lifetime subscriptions worth it? That depends. If you’ve never tried and tested the VPN provider before, then signing up for lifetime access could be a problem. Furthermore, if you purchase a lifetime VPN with an untrustworthy provider, you could find that the company shuts down soon after.

What Payment Options Does TigerVPN Have?

If you want to buy and download TigerVPN, you can purchase a subscription through many different payment methods, not just the regular credit card options.

Firstly TigerVPN accepts many different credit cards, including MasterCard, Visa, and American Express. Users can also pay via PayPal, Payment Wall, Allopass, Mobiamo, and Mint.

If you want to anonymize your purchase, then you can buy the VPN with Bitcoin. More and more VPN companies are adding cryptocurrencies to their payment options so that users can have a more private VPN experience from start to finish.

Does TigerVPN Have a 30-day Money-Back Guarantee?

The VPN industry-standard for refund policies is 30 days, although some providers like Hotspot Shield have started to offer a 45-day money-back guarantee. However, TigerVPN doesn’t follow this trend and offers its users a rather short 7-day money-back guarantee.

What Devices Can I Use TigerVPN on?

Although you can only make 2 VPN connections with a TigerVPN plan, you can use the VPN on 4 different devices. TigerVPN has easy to use apps for Windows, Mac, and Android. The VPN can also be used on Shimo, a VPN service for Mac users.

While it is disappointing that there is no iOS app and that TigerVPN doesn’t support other operating systems, we’re pleased that it does offer a few dedicated apps. However, it doesn’t compete with NordVPN and ExpressVPN who offer their customers more device options.

Is TigerVPN Easy to Use?

If you’re a VPN novice, then you’re in luck. You don’t need to be an IT nerd to use TigerVPN and set up the app, as download and installation take just a matter of minutes. The app itself provides extreme ease of use and easy navigation, thanks to its simplistic design.

All you have to do is scroll through the server list, and double click on one of the many locations offered to connect to a server. Unfortunately, there is no way to filter the servers by country, distance, or speed, so you have to search through them for your desired location or opt to sort the servers by city. The app also doesn’t provide a list of optimized servers for streaming or torrenting, like many other VPNs.

There is a favorites list to which you can add your preferred servers for easy connection. You can also adjust the settings, but even this only offers basic customization. You can’t switch protocols or enable the VPN to jump into action when connecting to new networks. There is also no kill switch to protect your connection.

So, while the VPN app provides ease of use, it’s a little basic. Its basic functionality might bode well for VPN beginners but could possibly frustrate VPN experts who want more configuration options.

Is TigerVPN Fast?

While we have some reservations about this VPN, speed is not one of them. TigerVPN provides decent connection speeds and offers unlimited bandwidth for a stable and speedy connection.

We ran several speed tests. Our base speed was 30Mbps (which is fast for our area). When we connected to servers in the US, our speeds didn’t change much, with our download speed dipping to 28Mbps. We connected to servers in the UK and were pleasantly surprised to get a download speed of 27Mbps.

When we connected to servers in Asia, the download speeds fell a little more, and our average speed on this continent was 24Mbps. This is quite the difference from 30Mbps, but it isn’t too much of a drastic change. We also didn’t notice that our connection was drastically slower, although Twitter loaded slowly when we visited it on an Asian VPN server.

Since TigerVPN supports torrenting, we think that the speeds bode well for torrenters. Although Tiger isn’t the fastest VPN on the market, it is a great option if you want good speeds.

Does TigerVPN Unblock Streaming Sites?

If you want to connect to a streaming service in another country, then you can use TigerVPN. Since the provider operates a network across 62 locations in 43 countries, subscribers have many opportunities to access more content than ever before.

Firstly, we tested out the VPN’s ability to bypass the Netflix VPN firewall. We connected to a couple of locations in the US, in New York and Los Angeles. However, it seems that TigerVPN only works in one country; the US. We could not get through to Netflix when connected to other locations such as the UK and Germany.

We tried to connect to Amazon Prime Video and has no success in any of the locations we chose. Then, we tried to access the BBC iPlayer website in the UK but were blocked. Unfortunately, TigerVPN is not the best option for accessing streaming services. If you want to unblock many streaming sites online, then try out NordVPN since this provider can bypass even the strongest of VPN firewalls.

Is TigerVPN Good for Torrenting?

While TigerVPN isn’t the best option for streaming, it is a good VPN for torrenting. The provider supports P2P networking on all of its servers. Moreover, it offers unlimited data, with no download limits. This ensures that you can torrent as much as you want without having to stick to a data plan.

Since torrenting is supported on all servers, customers don’t need to click on specific torrenting servers when connecting to the VPN. TigerVPN provides secure encryption, so your internet navigation is always protected and hidden from prying eyes.

Does TigerVPN Offer Customer Support?

At VPNSurfers, we value customer service and account support because it can often indicate how much a VPN provider cares about its users and their experience with the VPN. TigerVPN disappointed us slightly with its customer support since it is quite limited.

Customers can contact the customer support team via the customer service email [email protected]. Alternatively, they can get in touch with the team via social media. Unfortunately, there is no live chat service on the website. This is a shame since it is a great way for users to receive priority support and instant solutions to their problems.

There are several guides on the TigerVPN website, which are designed to answer customer questions. However, we had difficulty accessing this section. While the website is well-designed, its functionality is basic. We made several attempts to access the help page and were left waiting for long periods of time for the page to load. Many times, we were unable to access the guides and other support information. If a user has an issue they wanted to resolve immediately, it seems as though they would be waiting a while.

Overall, we don’t highly rate TigerVPN’s customer support. While there is an email address that subscribers can write to and receive a timely response, the website’s support area is inaccessible, which prevents customers from solving problems for themselves.

Where are the TigerVPN Headquarters?

TigerVPN is a Slovakian-based VPN service. While Slovakia is not a part of the 5/9/14 Eyes alliance, Slovakia authorizes the processing of individual’s data without the need for their consent, and the country mostly follows EU data legislation. If TigerVPN were ordered to hand over data from its servers to the Slovakian government, it would have to do so.

For the reason above, it’s good that TigerVPN has a zero-logs policy. If the provider received a subpoena and were forced to hand over data to the government, it wouldn’t have any browsing activity stored on its servers that could be linked back to users.

Is TigerVPN Worth it?

If you want a basic VPN that has apps for Windows, Mac, and Android, then TigerVPN is a good choice. It provides good protection and will give you extra privacy online. However, it falls short of offering advanced features that may be appealing to customers. If you’re looking for a way to access more restricted content online, then we don’t recommend using Tiger. It has difficulties unblocking streaming sites and its server network is a lot smaller than some of its main competitors.
