While that may sound like a lot, compared to competitors, it’s on the lower end, especially as VPNs for Windows tend to be slower than Macs in our experience. Fast upload and download speeds: Malwarebytes only slowed our Macbook down by about four percent total, while on Windows, our download speeds decreased by about 33 percent and 25 percent, respectively.And our DNS and WebRTC tests confirmed that our domain names and IP addresses were truly hidden. AES-256: Most importantly, Malwarebytes uses the top encryption method to hide our web activity and IP address, AES-256.Netflix works (sometimes): While it wasn’t 100 percent compatible with all of Netflix’s servers, some of Malwarebytes’ servers allowed us to Netflix and chill.Torrenting access: We had fun torrenting old movies with Malwarebytes VPN connected (don’t worry we torrented non-copyrighted material only, as we can’t participate in the illegal distribution of copyrighted material).Kill switch on Windows: Only the Windows app had a kill switch, killing our web apps and browsers when the VPN inevitably failed.Rather, their privacy policy states that they only logged our bandwidth usage and the public key that we used to connect to the VPN in the first place. Won’t log traffic or IP addresses: Although Malwarebytes encrypted this information for us, they didn’t log it for themselves.That being said, it did what we needed in terms of encryption, for fairly low prices.

Malwarebytes is a pretty bare-bones VPN, with only apps for Windows, iOS, and Mac computers.
