About hide.me
hide.me says it was created in 2012 by technology enthusiasts who wanted to provide internet security and access as restrictions and monitoring grew. It is owned and operated by eVenture Limited, a Malaysia-registered company with a registered office in Labuan. A separate ultimate parent company has not been confirmed.
The brand is known for consumer VPN services focused on privacy and security. hide.me publishes a no-logs policy and says it has been independently audited. Its offer includes apps for multiple platforms as well as a free VPN option.
What hide.me offers
Consumer VPN
hide.me offers a free service and paid Premium plans for personal use. The VPN has apps for desktop, mobile, TV and browser platforms. The plans in our comparison include features such as multi-hop, split tunnelling and support for up to 10 simultaneous devices.
Business VPN
A separate VPN offer is available for businesses and other organisations. It is intended for organisational use rather than the personal use covered by the standard service terms.
VPN reseller offering
Resellers can use hide.me’s separate reseller programme, which advertises account-management tools and an API. This is aimed at businesses that want to offer VPN services to their own customers.
Web proxy
hide.me also provides a browser-based proxy. It is a proxy service rather than a website hosting plan or a substitute for a web server.
Network and support
hide.me says it operates and maintains its own VPN server network, with locations in 92 locations across six continents. Its location information notes that some advertised locations may be virtual, rather than physically hosted in the named country. Specific data-centre operators and facility addresses have not been confirmed.
The provider lists 24/7 support through live chat, support tickets, email, FAQs and knowledge-base articles, and its community. It does not state separate response-time commitments for each channel.
Who hide.me suits
hide.me may suit people looking for a personal VPN with a free option, apps across several device types and privacy-focused features. Its separate business and reseller services may also interest organisations that need a VPN offer for staff or customers.
Look elsewhere if you need website hosting, a web server or a traditional hosting control panel. Organisations should also check the business offer rather than assume that the standard personal service terms cover commercial use.
