PlexVPN Review & Experience of Using
PlexVPN attracts subscribers with high speeds and a one-click connection. This VPN service has very favorable subscription terms, supports all OSs and allows you to connect to servers in more than 10 countries of the world (which is much less than, for example, ExpressVPN, which supports 94 countries).
The service was launched in 2017 in China and focuses primarily on the local market. The provider's software has Smart Mode technology to bypass the blocking by mainland China's Internet providers.
PlexVPN can also be a proxy for Telegram. There is such an option in the settings of the app.
Note that PlexVPN also supports US Netflix and some other streaming video services.

Functions of PlexVPN
Despite the poor server geography of PlexVPN, the provider is worth trying out because of its functions:
- One-click connection for a quick run of the service.
- Lag-free streaming thanks to the ultra-speed servers.
- Anonymous and safe web browsing.
- Access to blacklisted websites and online apps.
- Bypass blocking in China.
- Proxy for Telegram.
Info on servers of PlexVPN
PlexVPN provider is proud of its super-high-speed servers located worldwide. But on the official website of PlexVPN, only 9 countries are mentioned.
I’ve studied the client and it came to the knowledge about 3 more Plex VPN servers.
All in all, the provider offers servers in the following 12 countries:
- Australia
- Canada
- China
- England
- France
- Korea
- Japan
- Luxemburg
- the Netherlands
- Russia
- Singapore
- the USA
Provided that PlexVPN servers are placed in only 12 regions of the world, the service still may be used to bypass some geographical restrictions. It makes sense to mention that the VPN provider described in this review manages to bypass the restrictions of Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, HBO, and many other well-known entertaining services.
HBO gained its popularity all over the world but the residents of some countries still cannot watch HBO. HBO is NOT accessible in Greenland, Iceland, Japan, North Korea, Laos, Bhutan, 15 countries of Europe and all countries of the African continent.
Tariffs and prices of PlexVPN
PlexVPN's pricing policy allows you not only to choose the length of your subscription and save on plans longer than 1 month but also provides a choice of the number of connected devices. Thanks to this, significant savings can be made when using one or two devices.
For example, if you subscribe for 1 month with access to one computer, the price will be $3.99. This is 2-3 times less than most other similar VPNs.
However, this pricing policy also has a drawback. If you want to connect 5 devices, then the price for one month will be $20.99. And if you go for 10 or 20... I don't even presume to count, because in this case, it is easier to use another VPN service for China.
So, PlexVPN has the following tariffs (per device):
- From $3.99 with a 1-month subscription
- From $3.49 with a subscription for 3 months
- From $2.28 with a subscription for 12 months

However, PlexVPN is not compatible with Linux, AppleTV, Chromebook, and game consoles.
