As a big privacy fan (some might say ‘obsessive’), I immediately signed up for this service and have been a customer ever since. Sadly, I’ve had enough. Although great for web browsing and running one or two torrents at a time, ask it to handle more than a handful of torrents and the whole connection simply stops responding. I’ve seen many other Relakks users with this same problem and to come home from many hours out, eager to sample what you downloaded today only to find a dead connection, it’s an annoyance. When you were supposed to be seeding a friend’s Hip-Hop album all night and it died after 6mb uploaded and no-one got anything, it’s a major hassle and time to complain to Relakks. Again.

Anyway, Relakks used to be good, but now it drops out every few minutes and if it does stay connected, it just hangs and no data is transferred. Stay clear, it’s no good anymore

They started out good but are now lousy. You can’t get a hold of them. They don’t respond to support questions and there’s some reports that they block sites that they disagree with. They are big time liberals.

Unfortunately over the last few months I’ve also had dropped connections and very low speeds.

I just switched over to StrongVPN (http://www.strongvpn.com/) and so far it’s a massive improvement. 45 USD for 3 months and no bandwidth limit. It’s based in the US so it might not be as risk free as its Swedish counterpart but I wouldn’t fully trust a UK company either.

VPNtunnel and VPNout don’t work and Relakks drops every 20 minutes.

It didn’t connect. I sent their wiki a lengthy letter about the problem. They responded asking about my configuration and pointed out all the mistakes in their blurb about how to set up for a Mac. I answered and then waited 3 more days just to get a email saying that they are refunding my money.
Upshot: It won’t work on a Mac and their support stinks.

Relakks is OK but a bit flakey. Won’t connect to certain websites because the MTU has to be adjusted, but I haven’t been able to figure out where (in the router? in the computer? in azureus? in some combination of the above?). It works fine for torrents, but I can’t surf while that’s going on.

VPNOut works great. And it’s cheap. Only problem: servers are in Florida and I’m in Europe. My bandwidth takes a 50% hit going back and forth. Also, only 15GB/month, which is not much. I used up nearly 4 on the first night.

I can barely surf and switching on P2P kills everything. Is this some kind of scam ? Getting people to pay and than ignoring their emails ?
I think they got their PayPal account suspended as I counld not pay them with PayPal.
I wish I could get my money back. I feel I’ve been tricked.
