Especially as the app doesn't have a kill switch to protect you. But there's no notification when you disconnect, which could be a problem if the connection drops. The app does at least connect very, very quickly (around a second - other VPN apps can take ten seconds, twenty, more), and displays a desktop notification to tell you when you're protected. It's not even in alphabetical order, that's how little thought seems to have gone into the app (the list begins Germany, Norway, Russia, Hong Kong, India.) There's no favorites system, or 'Recent Connections' list. The location list doesn't include ping times or server load figures, for instance. If you're thinking that's basic, you'd be 100% right. There's a mostly blank Settings box, which only includes an option to automatically connect when Windows starts, and the location to use. Unfortunately Panda Dome VPN's apps have almost no settings (Image credit: Panda) Despite the extra complexity on the main screen, Panda's VPN is only a click away, and that presents you with a far more familiar and straightforward interface. This is a review of Panda VPN, though, not the antivirus. That's not quite market-leading - F-Secure, NortonLifeLock and Trend Micro all blocked 100% of threats - but it outperformed several big names, including Avast (99.7%), Avira (99.6%), Bitdefender (99.3%) and McAfee (98.9%.) AV-Comparatives' Real-World Protection Test Feb-May 2020 report placed Panda's engine 5th out of a field of 17, with a creditable protection rate of 99.9%. There are buttons to launch on-demand scans, for instance, or schedule scans to run when it's convenient.Ī USB Protection tool 'vaccinates' USB keys to try and prevent them being infected by autorun malware.Īn excellent Process Monitor tool acts like a supercharged Task Manager, enabling experienced users to check out running processes and try to understand what they're doing.Īnd a handy Rescue Kit can build a bootable rescue USB key to boot and clean up an infected PC. Panda VPN arrives as a part of Panda's free antivirus, which makes the interface a little bulkier than usual.

Panda emailed us an activation code and a download link. Then we selected our preferred payment method (Panda supports cards and PayPal) and handed over our cash in the usual way. We chose a billing frequency (1, 12 or 36 months), entered our email address, and for some reason had to enter our name and postcode, too. Once we'd tracked the product down, the rest was relatively straightforward.

Signing upīuying the stand-alone VPN is more difficult than we expected - even the client 'Upgrade to Premium' button points us to the purchase page for the full Panda Dome security suite - but eventually we found the right website page. This has some ads, but also gives you 500MB of data a day.īut if you're a fan of Panda Security, or just looking for a cheaper way to access Hotspot Shield, Panda VPN could be worth a try. If you're not interested in antivirus, you might be better off with Hotspot Shield's free edition.

This delivers reasonable Windows protection, but doesn't have real-time antivirus for Mac and Android devices. It comes as a part of Panda Free Antivirus, too. Panda VPN is also available as a free version, although this limits you to a tiny 150MB data allowance a day, and doesn't give you any choice of location (the client automatically chooses the fastest server for you.) There is also a free version but you're limited to just 150MB per day (Image credit: Panda)
