Onion Browser and VPN Reviews

by Ellie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I was chugging along dealing with OnionBrowserandVPN - it’s not the best but I was getting used to it’s bad points and was resigned to it. For instance, the catchpas (sp?) were all jumbled so you can’t really fill them out. The browser back button is badly located if you’re using the keyboard I have cause you cant reach it. The list goes on. But I was all “whatevs, this is entertainig” and then all of a sudden OnionBrowserandVPN stops and demands that I leave a five star review or else I could not continue to use it. Which...OK...I paid MONEY for this???? So....I’m not sure where you guys get off demanding crap from me when I already gave you money?

I have no way to know if that was the only weird demand that the developers were going to hold OnionBrowserandVPN I PAID FOR hostage about because at that point I wanted to never use OnionBrowserandVPN again because I don’t like ppl that lie. And that’s what this is. If you don’t leave them 5 stars you forfeit your money. So, just for the record, this is how they got such a high star rating - by hijacking ppl after they gave them money. So that’s who you’re dealing with here.

The disgusting ethics of this company has led me to write this; my first review on OnionBrowserandVPN Store. While searching to find a private browser/VPN I came upon OnionBrowserandVPN. After being prompted to initiate a “free 7 day trial”, I clicked on it, and was instantly charged...? Instantly... nice “free” dimwits. If you like being scammed out of money by pathetic bottom dwelling scum, download OnionBrowserandVPN. Otherwise, don’t bother wasting your time even reading through other reviews. Look at the most recent ones if any, fairly certain the majority of the rest are fake. Sincerely hope the creators of this scam step on legos for the rest of their useless lives.

I just downloaded OnionBrowserandVPN and the very first screen you get is a subscription screen. For starters, it’s $9.99 a WEEK! $520 a year to use their services, WHAT?! A VPN and Tor on a PC is less than $50 a year, and that’s for pure animosity! Why would I pay $480 more a year to be tracked by the very company claiming to help us not be tracked?
That’s just the start of my issue with OnionBrowserandVPN. The second complaint comes down to the fact that you have to subscribe through Apple ITunes. This poses a massive issue with me about security. The entire purpose of Tor is to be anonymous, which isn’t possible if you are being tracked by Apple. As well as Apple tracking you now, you also have their hosting service tracking you.
For an anti-tracking type of business, this doesn’t seem right. You have to sign up to be tracked by multiple companies in order to not be tracked? One of those companies being APPLE?! I’ll pass, and I recommend anyone who actually cares about privacy to delete OnionBrowserandVPN too. They are NO more secure than Firefox, chrome, or explorer.

I am sure this works fine. I have not really been able to use it. But I’ve tried to unsubscribe and have searched settings as OnionBrowserandVPN says to do but can find NOWHERE to unsubscribe. If this were a reputable company, this should be a simple, straightforward process with an easy access and clearly labeled location and button to unsubscribe. I’ve searched OnionBrowserandVPN , the settings on my iPhone and in the Apple iTunes Store on my computer and it is not to be found. Nothing but blank pages come up and there is NO category for subscriptions in the settings or app. You are Stealing my money. STOP.

Does anybody even use this to actually browse onions??? I am guessing not, because I doubt the ability to access that, considering when I checked my IP address via Google search in OnionBrowserandVPN , it was the same as everything else on my phone whih was not in OnionBrowserandVPN .

If you don't know what all that means, I'm saying this doesn't make you anonymous whatsoever! The developer is just making money off of you seeing the ads, at the least. And making money when you pay off the ads. Also, who's to say they aren't using your information too!

Nowhere in OnionBrowserandVPN did I see options for connecting to a VPN, either.

First off they started charging, not a little, a lot. I liked OnionBrowserandVPN enough that i subscribed. But not only did they start charging, they messed with the whole app. The browser with a fluently encoded vpn is not the first screen you see, now you sign in to the vpn, and transfer to a browser, and hopefully by that point app hasn’t crashed yet. The new update also has problems running the browser in landscape mode. I’ve only gotten it to turn sideways once in the two days I’ve been using it.
I cancelled my subscription before being charged luckily they gave a free week. Unfortunately, i will never try the paid version of OnionBrowserandVPN again, and now need to find a new TOR browser.

Dudes. How do you sleep releasing a flawed update at the same time that you start charging for your product? You had the best browser, and I’m sure many of us would consider paying your extraordinary $40 a year subscription, but not after this. really shot yourselves in the foot here.

I missed that even the anonymous browser portion of OnionBrowserandVPN requires a subscription of $4/week. It won't work at all unless you login with your apple id (a potential security/privacy issue on its own since now somebody is tracking how many days you have run the "free" trial or how many months you have subscribed) and enable the 30 days "free" trial. There were a couple of confusing clauses in the fine print as to when that trial could be cleanly terminated without dinging your credit card. I didn't take it any further, I don't run my devices constantly logged in to Apple servers for no good reason. Tor for desktop doesn't have a subscription component, while it may be worthwhile for this application, be aware that if you don't terminate exactly according to the terms you may end up paying.

Two off-putting characteristics are immediately apparent:
• Portrait-only orientation, if the introductory screen is the face of OnionBrowserandVPN. If you can't do landscape, you're not trying hard enough.
• Immediate registration demanded, including an opt-out commitment to a monthly charge after a one-week trial.
The $5/mo fee is about 20% more than I'm paying for Tunnel Bear VPN, a Canada-based company that gives me all the options and security I need.
(Also, OnionBrowserandVPN's introductory screen contains enough grammatical and punctuation mishaps to give me pause about the precision of its inner workings. Developers, your documentation and communications with customers are measures of your credibility. Language is important.)

It was working fine during the free trial although it’s slow as hell even with Wi-Fi, I was still able to surf the web. After I paid for another week of usage that’s when it started to crash especially if I leave the page to check on my other page. I consistently have to close OnionBrowserandVPN and try again. Very annoying when it crashes all the time even on Wi-Fi. What a waste of my money... I should’ve stuck with the free trial or spent my money on another app that is actually working just fine. The vpn side hardly works either even with the free trial. Very disappointed.

OnionBrowserandVPN is one of the better free/cheap tor apps. I'm not a 5 star giver, period. So, it's also hard for me to say that there is a better option which is comparable. I am slightly new at the whole dns thing too tho. Let's just leave if at this... does EXACTLY as described. Also, I actually use OnionBrowserandVPN. There's many I also downloaded that I simply either can't figure out, don't trust, or don't seem to operate as intended (or as I assumed they would lol).... So far tho, no complaints. And again, it's doing exactly as it stated... could def improve, yes! BUT SO CAN ALMOST EVERYTHING ELSE ;-P

I am trying OnionBrowserandVPN for the first time, and I saw OnionBrowserandVPN VPN as an ancillary for Tor, so I downloaded OnionBrowserandVPN. When I went back to the Tor browser, I could not connect to any sites. WTH so I deleted that app and the browser works fine.
For a long time, since Google et al. reads all your emails, I switched to a paying email service for 20 bucks a year wasn't too bad for my privacy.
I am looking forward to using Tor, and I bet the more people donate I think the ads will be in the past. But the the read arrow is completely annoying! Hence the 4 stars

Honestly you everything I have used so far on the free version of this browser has been up to the best that hide like to use it for anyway I am writing this review to receive the limited Tro Pro. Nonetheless so far it's only been a bit annoying and inconsistent with the ads displaying most times but other than that it has Great passcode option with another optional finger print reader lock for it. I would say five stars besides the ads displayed to often but great at hiding any searching that I've done to the best of my knowledge. So I'd say four stars.

I have been using the browser for only three days but have found it to be quite fast. I have not noticed any web sites which were not available as mentioned by some users. I did not like the location of the advertising buttons on the free version because they occasionally were in the way of some of the buttons for moving back to a previous screen or opening a new tab.

The program is simple to use & navigate. The browser is set by default to Bing. I haven't tried to change it yet, but it looks like you could. The relevant issue is whether or not TOR allows us to use the internet with relative anonymity in the age of our browser history being auctioned off to the highest bidder. I have no way of knowing whether or not OnionBrowserandVPN provides that or not. I'm taking a leap of faith & will start using OnionBrowserandVPN in hopes that it is capable of protecting me and my personal information from those who'd like to obtain it. I'd advise anyone who values their privacy to do the same.

Hi all. I know Net Neutrality is not directly related to Internet privacy, but it is a very important related topic we must spread the word on to keep the Internet playing field level for all.

About this browser - I like it. Does the job. I mean, I assume it is actually connecting to the TOR network. Not as many problems as other browsers. Lots of ads though. No real reason to complain other than all the annoying red play buttons that stockpile and won't go away.

by El Mono Blanco

So far so good. The interface is simple enough and everything seems to work as advertised, but who knows. It will take me a while to really investigate if I'm really as secure as it claims. It is a little unsettling to see ads on an app of this type, although I realize I should expect that from a free app. It does just feel a little odd. Definitely creates the feeling of being a legit Tor browser, but only some experimenting, investigation, and time to play around and read up on how these things work on a mobile device, will really let me know if this was OnionBrowserandVPN I thought it was.

I have tried many so called secure browsers and vpn's to use while traveling to conduct my banking and other financial business and gave found many of them will not connect to various institutions o the connections slow so much that they become useless. This browser gives me fast speeds and connect to my banks without issues. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a more secure and usable connection than others.

by SouLiDiFLy

So far so good in regards to a Mobile Anonymous Browser allowing me to safely browse the dark web without worry of being watched. Great for finding sites unavailable to surface surfers BUT when it comes to actually communicating in regards to placing orders or making inquiries with the webmaster I would make sure to create TAILS first and use my PC with very good underlying security like Vipre and of course a VPN. However like i said a great app to find what you need.

by TORriffic

This software is fantastic and works well with the VPN software suggested in the ads that come with the basic version of this product. The base product works perfectly with my phone and given the recent changes on congress it just makes sense to upgrade to this kind of web use protocol. So when I was offered a chance to upgrade just for sharing my experience I was happy to oblige.

by B_HappyFeet

I recently found out about TOR browsers and wanted to give it a try to protect my privacy in an age where you are constantly monitored. This was the highest-rated app, so I picked this one after reading reviews. It looks and works a lot like Google Chrome (tabs, interface, multiple search engine options). You can unlock the pro version, which is ad-free if you write a review.

by Jetheman
