Goose VPN is a newcomer in the VPN industry. It is a virtual private network developed by a company in the Netherlands and even though it is new on the market, it looks like a very promising VPN and has already managed to create a buzz and attract a large number of customers.

Goose VPN has dedicated apps that work on all the major operating systems: macOS, Windows, Android and iOS. This VPN also works with Chrome, Android TV, Routers, Linux.

This VPN doesn’t have such a large number of servers as major industry leaders such as NordVPN, ExpressVPN, CyberGhost and so on. Goose VPN is still building its server list and is working on expanding it. It currently has 62 servers and they are spread in almost 30 countries worldwide. A large number of those servers is in Europe and in North America, but it also has servers in Israel, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia.

How much does Goose VPN cost?

Goose VPN has three packages to choose from: a 1-month plan, a 1-year plan and a 2-year plan.

The 1-month plan is priced at $12.99 billed every month.

The 1-year plan is priced at $4.99 per month ($59.88 billed every year).

The 2-year plan is priced at only $2.99 per month ($71.76 billed every 2 years).

As you can see, Goose VPN has very affordable rates, especially if you opt for longer periods of time, such as one or two years. There are several payment options available (PayPal, iDEAL, Giropay, VISA, MasterCard, American Express).

Another selling point of Goose VPN is the fact that it offers a free 30-day trial. All you have to do is choose one of the packages you want and sign up for this VPN. You have to provide a valid e-mail address and a password and you can benefit from the VPN free of charge for one month. After the trial expires, you will start to be charged according to the package you chose. Another catch you should be aware of with the free trial is that it limits you to only 500 MB.

What does Goose VPN have to offer?

Goose VPN may not be as popular as major players such as NordVPN, ExpressVPN and the like, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t take security seriously. Just like all reputable VPN providers, Goose VPN also uses AES-256-bit encryption. There is a shortcoming when it comes to security features though and that is the kill-switch function, which is a common tool found in most VPN providers, but unfortunately, not in this one.

The interface of the VPN is really straightforward. You can either let the VPN do the entire setup automatically or you can adjust the settings according to your preferences.

You get support for all the standard protocols, the only one that is missing is SSTP, but that’s not a big loss anyway, given that it only works on Windows and is a headache to be set up on other platforms. The default protocol varies depending on your location and server, but you can set your protocol to be OpenVPN, IKEv2, L2TP or PPTP.

Privacy is also respected by this VPN provider. Goose VPN has a no-log policy.

Another attractive thing about Goose VPN is the fact that it allows unlimited simultaneous devices, which is a real treat, given that even big competitors limit you to approximately 5.

Goose VPN is decent in terms of speed and even impressive when used with mobile devices.

This VPN provider is P2P-friendly, meaning you can use torrents with approximately 20 servers (they will be highlighted for you to know which ones allow torrenting).

One of the claims on the Goose VPN website is that this VPN can help you ‘access all websites’. This VPN can indeed unlock streaming services such as Netflix and even has dedicated servers for streaming. You won’t get the same results with every server when it comes to unlocking blocked websites, but some of them work really well in that regard.

Customer support is reliable and friendly and you can contact Goose VPN on a 24/7 basis by live chat and email. There’s also a contact form available on their website and a comprehensive FAQ section that answers a lot of common questions related to VPNs.

All in all, Goose VPN is definitely a promising VPN provider, which needs time to grow and improve, but is definitely on the right track. It is affordable, secure, private, it allows torrenting, it can unblock restricted content and it has apps for all the common types of devices.
