StrongVPN is a premium service. The price is higher than most of the other VPN services, but it provides good quality. The speed is great for most of the serves and there is no bandwidth limitation.
To sum up, StrongVPN is not for everyone due to the price but if you can afford it you should try it.

I am wondering what all of you use a VPN service for! Obviously it is not for privacy or anonymity and it is just looking for someplace to access facebook or the like. This being the case you could find a much cheaper alternative.
Looking at their site http://www.strongvpn.com/acceptable.shtml one can notice the privacy (lack of) policy where they blatantly say they will ‘rat you out’ without notice. Here is the exact wording for those not inclined to read their policy “BOC may disclose information, including but not limited to, information concerning a client, a transmission made using our network, or a web site, in order to comply with a court order, subpoena, summons, discovery request, warrant, statute, regulation, or USA governmental request. BOC assumes no obligation to inform the client that client information has been provided and in some cases may be prohibited by law from giving such notice. Finally, BOC may disclose client information or information transmitted over its network where necessary to protect BOC and others from harm, or where such disclosure is necessary to the proper operation of the system.”
This means if someone asks for it with a discovery request in a U.S. civil lawsuit, someone from any law enforcement agency “requests” it or StrongVPN decides it is “necessary” to protect their own best interests they will provide info without even telling you. That is a true mark of privacy like putting on a faulty bulletproof vest.
Second it relies on PPTP which has been repeatedly exposed as insecure and riddled with security flaws. Please don’t take my word for it, check out this article http://tinyurl.com/ya59gsn .
I am hopeful this spreads some light on what to look for in a vpn.
Cheers!

I love my StrongVPN account and have been working with StrongVPN to develop a router with built in client support using dd-wrt. We’ve got it done and it’s working flawlessly! I’m on my wireless laptop writing this “from England”, though I’m really in my living room in USA. The Linksys router with dd-wrt OS is all setup with routing and firewall configured. All you do is put in your server/client IP, username and password and the router connects and gives that feed to your home/business in wireless and to the 4 wired Gigabit ports. You can add a wireless bridge to feed this stream to your media center. Pretty kewl!
Anyway, thought your readers would be interested. The product link is at http://sabaitechnology.com/StrongVPN-Client-Router-N-P841634.aspx

I have been with StrongVPN for over a year. My main use for the service is to gain a secure connection – because all my connections are wireless. For only a few dollars a month i am able to have a secured connection no matter if i am at home, office or a coffee shop. And the speed has always, to date, been very very fast. I still give this service 5-stars.

I just began using StrongVPN and I can already view all the sites I need in order for me to work from these foreign countries, I think the $25 setup fee is a bit high for us customers that need the VPN 2 months, then not for a month, then need for 1 month on and off etc etc but as the service itself, it seems nothing but awesome quality for me so far. Thanks

I can really recommend this to everyone!

Does it strike anyone as suspicious that there is not a single negative review on this site?
…it makes me think StrongVPN is writing their own reviews.

I love this service! I travel to alot on business and anytime I had an issue, the support staff got back to me right away. I highly recommend this one – I have tried 4 others – they were terrible

Yes it appears they are writing reviews themselves as I had really terrible experience with them. It’s really not worth that money. Slow and disconnects often and you get just a few free server switches. IMHO that’s with purpose, they just want your money. Initially their servers work ok then start working bad and force you to switch and that’s not free.
I found a ~$5/month service with servers in USA/UK/CA/DE/FR/AU and they have a custom software and you can change servers with just a mouse click. Really awesome plug-and-play VPN. But I won’t advertise it, you can google it.

Willing to buy services, I contacted support in a vital security issue, a bit of non-standard, due to my geographical location. I only needed ‘yes’ or ‘no’ reply, but they simply ignored my inquiry.

For most vpn users this is a good premium service. People who just need a country specific anonymous IP to access forums, tvs shows, video, etc. Obviously for completely anonymity this is not the answer. Doing something of sufficient illegality that will around govertment authorities can easily compel them to turn over records. But that isn’t any different than most other options. You can’t ever really guarantee complete security unless you yourself are in control of the actual server and that it can’t be linked to to–that is a difficult duality to accomplish. The only answer I see is a rogue country with no extradition treaties provide a service like this. But then you would have to put yourself in the hands of people running a service in a country where presumably there is little regulation of anything. Pick your poison.
