{{DISPLAYTITLE:blackVPN }}BlackVPN (stylized as blackVPN) is a virtual private network service offered by the Hong Kong-based company BlackVPN Limited.[1]TorrentFreak has interviewed blackVPN in their annual comparison of VPN providers since 2011.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

In 2014, blackVPN announced that they would begin to indefinitely donate 10 percent of every VPN Privacy Package purchase directly to the Electronic Frontier Foundation in support of The Day We Fight Back protest.[8]

Features

BlackVPN features AES-256 encryption and DNS leak protection.[9] The service offers apps or manual configurations for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and routers.[10]

The company maintains a strict no-logging policy.[11]

Servers

As of March 2019, BlackVPN runs 31 remote servers in 20 locations and 18 countries, including Australia, Canada, Japan, United Kingdom and United States.[12]

Blackmail incident

In April 2016, blackVPN claimed to have received blackmail from the Armada Collective hacker group.[13]

According to blackVPN, the group threatened to perform a DDoS attack against their VPN servers on April 25 if the ransom of 10.08 bitcoins was not paid.[13]

blackVPN also stated that two other VPN service providers had received the same e-mail on April 18 and that VPN service provider AirVPN had suffered a similar threat and attack on May 30.[13]

At that time, it was unclear whether the sender of the e-mails simply imitated the group or indeed was Armada Collective.[14]

On April 25, DDoS mitigation provider Cloudflare called out the threats as fake,[15]

stating that not a single attack was launched against a threatened organization.[16]

Reception

In March 2016, the Dutch computer magazine Computer!Totaal (C!T) listed blackVPN as one of the nine best VPN services available. However, C!T noted the service's relatively high price and lack of own client as potential downsides.[17]

In June 2016, That One Privacy Site published a mixed review of blackVPN, commending it for its technical features and support team while criticizing their affiliate program and policies on port blocking for SMTP as problematic.[18]

It was also noted that the pricing was "on the higher side."[18]

The review led blackVPN to end their affiliate program and clarify a number of their policies.[18]

The owner of That One Privacy Site commended blackVPN for doing so and updated the review accordingly.[18]

In July 2017, Engadget author Violet Blue mentioned blackVPN as one of the "names that come up as trusted" in the VPN service industry.[19]
