Italy is a 14 Eyes country and that is enough reason to not buy AirVPN. No servers in Russia, so you cant bypass the Western censorship of Russian media. VPN should be about bypassing censorship, but this is not the case with AirVPN.
I am working in the biggest country in Asia since 2006. I constantly use AirVpn on my MacBook Pro since 2015, and on my iPhone - iPad. I never had an issue, of any kind, with it, and I was quite amazed to read the article above. Lately, it is very difficult to get it properly run on iPhone and iPad, but this is more the result of this country where I live in restrictions than the vpn in itself. While in Hong Kong was still working fine, but as soon as I crossed the border troubles started. I will tweak that as soon as I will be out again. In the rest of the world, I never had issues. So I do not give the 5th star just because of my at present troubles using it on my iPhone and iPad. For the rest, I will stick with it.
AirVPN is by far the slowest VPN I have ever used. Whichever protocol and/or server I have used, it didn't make any difference. My internet speed decreased by over 90%, download speed as well as upload speed. When you take a look at the AirVPN forum, you will notice loads of users are experiencing the same issue, for which AirVPN obviously has no solutions.
