The Quick package ($2/month) has just 2 countries, US and Ukraine, the Basic package ($5/month) includes those and adds 4 more countries, Germany , Netherlands, France and UK.
The Solid package ($10/month), which we tested, has the full 57+ countries and there’s also a Pro package ($20/month) with access to multi-hop technology for the real addicts.
Software is available in Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android. You can use the standard PPTP or OpenVPN installs, use Viscosity or use Proxy.sh’s unique Safejumper software.
This is a really useful client where you can easily switch servers, auto start and reconnect and check the status of your connection.

Tips: We found speeds much quicker using UDP rather than TCP
Note: The handshake protocol (MSCHAP_V2) used by many PPTP connections has been cracked and therefore PPTP could now be considered unencrypted. For maximum security use OpenVPN or L2TP.
Great VPN and pretty decent software they have, especially for Linux…no other software even comes close to it on Linux. Normally for Linux it’s some sort of convoluted and awkward thing, or a command line program, but in this case it was actually a nice full application.
