Short Summary

If you are in a hurry and can’t take the time to read the full review, here are some key points for you:

  • Not ideal level of security
  • Can unblock several streaming services such as Netflix, HBO Max, and Hulu.
  • Delivers fast speed consistently.
  • Affordable pricing plans
  • Locations to choose from are limited
  • Customer service is slow and generic

Level of Security

The general conclusion is that SkyVPN stores too much of your data to be considered a trustworthy VPN. Therefore, it is unreliable regarding privacy and withstanding cyber threats.

SkyVPN comes with a built-in kill switch and IP leak prevention. It successfully passed DNS leak tests hiding our identity and not leaking location or IP address.

Streaming

If you are looking for a good VPN for streaming content, SkyVPN is definitely a good option. The VNP is remarkably good at streaming due to servers that effectively unblock various streaming services.

We tested its streaming capabilities and could easily access streaming services such as HBO Max, Disney+, Netflix, and Hulu.

SkyVPN has a server called Netflix-US that will unblock Netflix content in HD without any buffering. We had some difficulties loading the library on Hulu, but the video streaming worked smoothly once it was loaded, the video streaming worked smoothly.

AZN and BBC iPlayer were blocked even with SkyVPNs streaming services.

If you’re looking for an even better VPN for streaming, you should consider CyberGhost. 

Connection Speeds

Even long-distance servers deliver fast connection speeds with SkyVPN. We tested both servers close by and servers far away from us. The speeds were great for both cases, allowing for a smoother browsing and streaming in HD without buffering.

Fast Enough for Gaming?

The quick answer is no. Though SkyVPNs streaming servers are impressive and fast, their gaming servers can’t live up to the same level of speediness. SkyVNPs website claims to be great for gaming; however, it didn’t pass our expectations. The specialized gaming servers are called PUBG-US and ROBLOX-US.

In conclusion, this VPN is not your optimal choice for gaming.

Server locations

The server network that SkyVPN has is relatively small. As a result, you can choose from 23 different server locations, not including the five specialized streaming and gaming servers we covered previously in the review.

This is a fairly small server network. However, all servers work which is a plus.

Here you can see what server locations and continents you can connect to by using SkyVPN:

  • US (North America)
  • Brazil (South America)
  • UK (Europe)
  • France (Europe)
  • Switzerland (Europe)
  • Germany (Europe)
  • Netherlands (Europe)
  • Russia (Europe)
  • Romania (Europe)
  • Latvia (Europe)
  • Poland (Europe)
  • Denmark (Europe)
  • Ukraine (Europe)
  • Czech Republic (Europe)
  • Bulgaria (Europe)
  • Turkey (Asia)
  • Hong Kong (Asia)
  • Israel (Asia)
  • Singapore (Asia)
  • Japan (Asia)
  • India (Asia)
  • Korea (Asia)
  • Australia (Oceania)

It is our experience that it is easy to connect to SkyVPNs servers no matter what platform you are using it on. Once you hit the connect button, you are automatically connected to any well-performing server.

In the SkyVPN app, you can see a status bar next to all servers to check your connection’s reliability. However, our experience is that these status bars always seem to indicate that the server is well-performing, which seems a bit strange.

Pricing Plans

SkyVPNs pricing plans are very fair. It comes with a monthly, a yearly, and a 3-year plan. The latter offers the best value. Plus, it offers a variety of payment methods and accepts global payment. You get a 30-day money-back guarantee which will let you check out the VPN service to see if it works for you.

Be very aware that the money-back guarantee is waived if the original purchase is changed in any way.

SkyVPN Support Service

SkyVPN has FAQ and Help sections on its website, but these are very generic. There isn’t any useful troubleshooting information in these sections to help you solve your problems with the VPN service.

Its customer service offers no live chat, which you will find in many competitors’ customer support.
