To X-VPN

X-VPN is a VPN service that accepts crypto payments: according to the provider you can pay with Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum, alongside PayPal, credit card, gift cards and local payment methods. A free tier is available without registration, and app stores offer a free trial in most regions.

Pricing. The monthly plan costs 11.99 USD; the regular 12-month price is 143.88 USD, with a discounted first term advertised on the pricing page. The lowest advertised monthly equivalent is 2.99 USD. Eligible first-time purchases have a 30-day money-back guarantee — but crypto payments are non-refundable, as are gift-card and phone-credit payments.

Privacy. The privacy policy states: "X-VPN is designed to not collect, store, or log any VPN traffic data or online activity", including source/destination IP addresses, DNS queries and connection timestamps. The provider commissioned an independent assurance engagement on its privacy-policy statements and publishes a transparency report; it reports that no data request has resulted in data disclosure. Servers are described as RAM-only. Account data (an email address, pseudonymous emails accepted) and order data are kept for the life of the account or as required for accounting. Mobile apps may use Firebase for crash and performance diagnostics. The apps are not open source.

Features. Up to 5 devices at once; apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, routers, browsers and TVs. Protocols: WireGuard, OpenVPN and the proprietary Everest protocol, which disguises VPN traffic to get around censorship and DPI. Further features include a kill switch, split tunneling, multi-hop, obfuscation, an ad blocker and post-quantum protection. The network counts over 10,000 servers on rented infrastructure (cloud providers such as Google Cloud, AWS and Oracle); P2P is allowed. X-VPN offers only a shared static IP (iOS and Android, premium), not a dedicated IP. Support is by email and 24/7 live chat.

Pros

  • Crypto payment (BTC, BCH, ETH) possible
  • Free tier without registration

  • Obfuscating protocol for censored networks

Cons

  • Crypto payments are excluded from the money-back guarantee

What users report

All reviews

Ratings on platforms are not representative and sometimes manipulated; they never count as evidence for facts. People mostly write when something goes wrong: hardly anyone posts “KYC was easy and worked right away”, but ten users with verification problems do, often because a step was missed. So we never weigh criticism on its own, only against other offers in the same category. Only the average ratings on App Store, Google Play and Trustpilot count towards our score, damped and compared within the category. Single reports and community posts do not, so the score cannot be swayed by bought reviews.
