As someone naturally skeptical (especially of marketing claims) I tend to veer away from the big players in the field a lá NordVPN, Mullvad, and prefer to support the small players, those who aren't spending millions on marketing, twisting realities and engineering your perception....I could go on regarding that, but this isn't the place nor time, so: *Ok, ok, I'll start the review* Note: As AriaVPN's service stands right now, it's not a one-click solution. This tool is meant for the more technically inclined, or those who enjoy configuring their setups. Think PC users vs Mac :) But to give hope for those less fluent with tech, I do have to say that the team is quite friendly and eager to help. Plus, they've announce that client applications (Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS and Android) are in development. Luckily I am experienced with VPNs and raw certs so I didn't dive in as a n00b. For me, the process was straightforward. Download the raw certificates, plug them into my OpenVPN GUI, customise and off I went. Pros: Connection speed is quick, AriaVPN only has a few servers around the globe but enough for my purpose. I can access content, stream, be shielded from the Eyes, feel confident in my connection even when out of house, and honestly I couldn't be happier with the team behind it. Cons: Stated previously - no client apps - so it's not as straightforward as the big players, but perfect for those who want the plain and simple security and privacy and ability to customise. Team needs to add more server locations as well. Zero video content to help guide new users. TL;DR: Being able to tailor my VPN setup with raw certificates and not have one speck of a trail is exactly what I wanted. Supporting a small team with similar values, who are building a tool for people like myself, is just the icing on the cake. Eagerly awaiting the launch of client apps, as I have friends who are less technically inclined and would benefit greatly from the privacy and security AriaVPN provides. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a totally secure and private VPN service!

@fedorafez i wouldn't say you need to be technical. If you know how to use crypto which would be the hardest part. The next step is just importing your vpn cert into a client which is simple and easy.
