A VPN protects your privacy by routing your traffic through an encrypted connection to a remote server, blinding your ISP to your activities and making you harder to track online. Bitdefender Premium VPN is a sturdy product that’s a great value at a decidedly nonpremium price. It doesn’t have much to differentiate it from an increasingly competitive market, though.
Bitdefender Premium VPN
PROS
Extremely affordable. Clean design. Split tunneling. Part of the larger Bitdefender app ecosystem.
CONS
Confusing pricing. Confusing privacy policy. Few additional privacy features. High latency in test results.
BOTTOM LINE
Bitdefender Premium VPN offers split-tunneling and 10 simultaneous connections at an extremely reasonable price, but without many bells and whistles to make it stand out.
PRICING
Bitdefender has long offered a VPN as part of its growing family of security products and made it available for standalone purchase earlier this year. A subscription for Bitdefender Premium VPN starts at $6.99 per month, which is well below the $9.96 per month average we’ve seen across the VPNs we’ve reviewed. A few even cheaper VPNs are Mozilla VPN, at just $4.99 per month, and Editors’ Choice winner Mullvad VPN at €5 ($6.09 at time of writing). Alternatively, you can purchase a subscription to Premium VPN at a discount when you purchase Bitdefender security suites, and the Bitdefender Premium Security bundle includes both Bitdefender Premium VPN and Bitdefender Total Security.
