Trust zone VPN review

Overview

Trust.Zone is a budget-focused VPN provider with a core emphasis on privacy and affordability, based in the privacy‑friendly jurisdiction of Seychelles . It supports major platforms like Windows, Android, iOS, plus browser extensions; Mac, Linux, routers or media streaming devices require manual setup.

Key Features

Encryption & Protocols: AES‑256 encryption; supports OpenVPN, IPSec, and WireGuard (WireGuard requires manual setup).
Kill Switch & Leak Protection: Available on Windows (not enabled by default); DNS/WebRTC leak protection must be manually turned on CyberInsider.
Double VPN: Offers multi-hop routing in limited server locations (optional add-on).

Additional Add-ons: Optional features include Dedicated Static IPs, Port Forwarding, DDoS protection, and extra simultaneous connections for additional fees.

Pros

Very affordable, especially long-term: two-year plan as low as ~$2.33/month (even $2.10/month with crypto discounts)
Strict no‑logs policy, located outside surveillance alliances, and a warrant canary to reinforce transparency
Reliable leak protection and a functioning kill switch (once enabled manually)

Decent for torrenting and basic web use; unblocks Netflix libraries (US, UK, CA, AU) in some tests

Cons

Slower speeds, significant speed drops reported: up to 35–80% reduction, especially on distant or port‑restricted connections

Apps are outdated or unstable: limited usability on macOS, buggy manual WireGuard setup, confusing UI layouts, and frequent connection errors
Very strict refund policy: only valid within 10 days and under 1 GB of data used. If exceeded, refunds may be partial or denied
Limited server network: roughly ~190 servers across 37 countries—not ideal for load balancing or streaming access

Feature gaps: lacks split tunneling, limited simultaneous connections (3–5), mobile apps missing advanced features like kill switch or double VPN capabilities
Customer support is slow and limited: no 24/7 support, ticketing during business hours only, often delayed responses

From Reddit users also:

“They give you a ‘10 day money back guarantee’, but you only get a partial refund if you used more than 1GB of data”

Quick Summary

Category	Trust.Zone VPN
Price (2‑yr plan)	~$2.33/mo standard, ~$2.10/mo with crypto
Platforms	Windows, Android, iOS, browser extensions; manual setup for macOS, Linux, routers

Privacy	No-logs, Seychelles jurisdiction, warrant canary

Streaming / Gaming	Limited; not ideal

Best Use Cases

Trust.Zone is best suited for users who simply need cost-effective privacy protection for basic browsing or occasional torrenting, don’t mind manual setup, and are comfortable with less polished apps.

If you need fast streaming, gaming, seamless app experience, or robust feature sets like split tunneling, you may be better served by VPNs such as NordVPN, ExpressVPN, or Surfshark, which offer larger server networks, better speeds, and more generous refund terms

How to Get Started with Trust.Zone

Sign up for the free trial (3 days, 1 GB data, 1 device)—no payment info needed.
Download the native app for your device (Windows, Android, iOS).
Enable kill switch and leak protection in settings manually (especially in Windows app).

Choose your VPN protocol: OpenVPN recommended; if using WireGuard, follow Trust.Zone’s manual configuration guide carefully.
Test streaming and speed; try port 443 if experiencing issues.
Monitor data usage to avoid exceeding 1 GB if considering refund.

Evaluate after trial—if unsatisfied, decide whether to continue with paid plan (1–2 years) or opt for a better-featured alternative.

Final Verdict

Trust.Zone VPN offers strong privacy protections at a very low price, making it appealing for basic VPN use. However, its limited features, slow speeds, poor app polish, and restrictive refund policy make it less suitable if you need streaming/gaming support or user-friendly software. Carefully evaluate your needs before committing—and make full use of their trial to test the service yourself.

Does it block leaks and have a kill switch?

Yes—its Windows client features a kill switch (also called network lock) which prevents traffic leaks if the VPN disconnects. DNS/WebRTC leaks were not detected in multiple independent tests. You can also turn off IPv6 in settings to prevent IPv6 leaks

Can I torrent or stream Netflix content using Trust.Zone?

Torrenting is allowed on all servers without restriction. Netflix works but only on a few servers (e.g., U.S., UK, Canada, France), and may require following Trust.Zone’s setup instructions carefully
