About X-VPN

X-VPN says its service launched in 2017, first on iOS and Google Play, as a free-and-premium VPN. Its operator, LIGHTNINGLINK NETWORKS PTE. LTD., identifies itself as based in Singapore and says it owns the X-VPN trademarks. A separate parent company has not been confirmed, and 2017 is the service launch year, not a confirmed incorporation year.

The company describes X-VPN as a service focused on online privacy and security. It is known for offering consumer VPN apps and setup options across a range of devices.

X-VPN services

Free VPN

X-VPN offers free VPN access for supported devices and platforms. It can suit people who want to try a VPN or use one without a Premium subscription. The free experience has limits and advertising, according to customer feedback, so check the current offer and terms for the features available to you.

Premium VPN

Premium is the paid subscription. Our comparison lists support for five simultaneous devices, apps and setup options for platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, streaming devices, routers and Chrome. Listed features include multiple VPN protocols, a kill switch, split tunnelling, multi-hop, ad and tracker blocking, and a malware protection feature. Feature availability can vary by app or platform, so confirm the details relevant to your devices before subscribing.

Servers and support

X-VPN advertises more than 10,000 servers in locations across over 80 countries. It describes its network as including regions in the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa. Physical data-centre addresses, facility operators and the ownership of individual server locations have not been confirmed.

The provider says online support is available around the clock through live chat on its website and in its apps, with an option to speak to a person. It also lists email support and a Help Center. X-VPN provides account and subscription management online, VPN apps, smart server selection and a DNS leak test; a hosting-style control panel is not part of the offer.

Who X-VPN suits

X-VPN may suit people looking for a consumer VPN with both free and paid options and apps for a broad range of devices. It is not the right category for someone seeking shared, VPS, cloud or dedicated web hosting. People who need detailed information about physical server facilities should also investigate that point before choosing.
