AnonymizerReviews of anonymizer.com

I have been using Anonymizer Universal (AU) and its previous versions for about five years. Today, 1/17/16) I happened to compare AU against other products. It seems that AU does not appear in either PCMag or in PCWorld. Does that mean AU has not paid these media for advertising? I noticed the last review here was 584 days ago. Does that mean users have fled to another program? If so, which one has "captured" the most defectors?

Been around for a long time.

Heard about this VPN service from a post on TorrentFreak last month, and thought I’d give it a shot. In the past I’ve used free VPNs (like HotSpot Shield) but I wanted something more secure. The price was off-putting, but the length of time they’ve been on the market was appealing (nearly two decades). I figured they wouldn’t still be around if they were unreliable or didn’t protect user data. Anyway, I tried the free trial for 2 weeks and I liked the simple interface. The service is also reliable. I’ve come to expect very little of VPN services so it’s nice to not be let down.

Having been a customer of Anonymizer for so many years I have seen the positive and negative actions that they have taken over the years. They have changed their product up a few times and I unfortunately lost access to a few parts of their service that I enjoyed. They positive outcome is that they are developing new aspects to their service that bring me features that I wasn't even aware that I was missing. I have tested out a few of the "new guys" in the industry but I have yet to find a service that has the same performance as Anonymizer. While performance is important with a service like theirs, the fact that they have been in the business as long as they have helps me trust that my privacy is protected.
