= ExtremeVPN = ExtremeVPN, headquartered in the British Virgin Islands, is a subscription-based VPN service. Founded in 2023, Extreme VPN Ltd owns the VPN provider. Its jurisdiction, British Virgin Islands, is consider a privacy haven as the region is not part of the 5/9/14 eye nations, which require members to share digital intelligence and have strict data retention laws. As a result, the government cannot force the company to hand over user data to foreign authorities or interfere with the VPN's operations.

ExtremeVPN's servers are ideal for four categories depending on the users' needs: Internet Freedom, File Sharing, Stream, and Security/Privacy. Whichever category the users belong to, the VPN entertains.

This VPN service comes with over 6,500 servers in more than 78 countries. According to its terms of service, users are not required to provide their real names before they can subscribe to the service.

ExtremeVPN does not store logs, but it will keep certain necessary information, such as the internet provider the user is accessing the VPN with and the day of access. Additionally, it will not store specific timestamps or the names of the websites you access.

History
Extreme VPN Ltd. is a software firm that designs cybersecurity solutions, including ExtremeVPN. The headquarters is located in Tortola, in the British Islands. Its workforce comprises contractors from India, Ukraine, The United States, The United Kingdom, Pakistan, Spain, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the British Virgin Islands.

Technology
ExtremeVPN offers 7-day free trial, and also comes with Recommended Servers feature. There are other settings like split tunneling and transport protocol, too. The VPN is compatible with major operating platforms, including macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. Users can use it on ten devices simultaneously with one subscription.

DNS requests are routed through an encrypted tunnel and cannot be accessed by external providers, ensuring users internet data security. DNS inquiries and traffic remain closed to outside view. ExtremVPN protects public Wi-Fi with 256-bit encryption, Kill Switch functionality, and a Kill Switch. As a result, both the connection and the data are completely secure.

ExtremVPN secures connections and data privacy using OpenVPN, WireGuard, and Internet Key Exchange protocols. The provider allows surfing the web at high speeds and unlimited traffic.

ExtremeVPN has an allocated 200 servers optimized for P2P file sharing and BitTorrent, but it does not offer specialized servers capable of accessing the Tor Network. ExtremeVPN has over 6,000 lightning-fast servers in over 75 different locations.

Privacy
ExtremeVPN only stores the information it deems necessary and does not reveal anything about the user. It only stores data on the name of the service provider the user is accessing the VPN via and what day it was — however, it will not store the exact time.

ExtremeVPN also says it might store how much bandwidth the user uses to prevent misuse and monitor service quality. Also, ExtremeVPN, through secure payment partners such as Stripe and PayPal, will store HTTP cookies, credit card data, and email addresses for online advertising and subscription renewals.

The VPN has received praise for its "favorable data laws" and its non-involvement in the "intelligence-gathering alliance." It also is one of the few VPNs that can evade the great firewall of China, allowing the citizens to get around the strict censors.

Reception
ExtremeVPN is praised for its unique features, reliable speeds, and top-notch unblocking capabilities. ExtremeVPN was not able to bypass DAZN's geo-blocks. This is not surprising since not many premium VPNs can unblock DAZN.

It is deemed one of the best streaming VPNs due to its powerful unblocking abilities across all its servers. However, the platform can improve the service by having dedicated streaming servers for all popular streaming platforms.

Charles Poladian of Mashable has criticised ExtremeVPN for how unsteady accessing Netflix with it can be. He said the speeds can be inconsistent, although this happens when switching to much farther servers. There are instances where ExtremeVPN is reported to have trouble bypassing Netflix's geo-restrictions, but the VPN has recently fixed this issue.

Justice Ekaeze of PrivacySavvy reviewed ExtremeVPN, and his thoughts are not all bad; he writes, "With its multiple VPN protocols available, we know we can use ExtremeVPN and still do everything we usually do on the world wide web, and so can you. We would love to see extra features, such as security add-ons established VPN providers offer today, including an ad blocker and password manager. But, ultimately, we couldn’t ask for more from a newcomer.”

BeEncrypted’'s Rebecca James also mentions that for all its shortcomings, an excellent option for users searching anonymously and securing their connections.
