I got tired of paying $15/month for a VPN that still throttled my speeds and hid its logging policy in a 40-page ToS. So I built an alternative.
NordVPN auto-renewed me at full price after a promotional period I forgot about. $99 I didn't plan for. I went to cancel and found the refund policy buried under three support articles.
I'm not alone in this. Look at any VPN subreddit and the same complaints surface constantly:
- Renewal prices that double after year one
- Logging policies written by lawyers, not users
- "No-log" claims with zero proof
- Speed throttling that only shows up after you've paid
I've been building software for a while and decided to just fix this for myself - and anyone else who's fed up.
Velox VPN. Transparent pricing with monthly, yearly, and two-year tiers that are listed upfront, no bait-and-switch. A server dashboard you can actually read. One-click connection to global servers. And a Netflix Regions feature built specifically for streamers who want to access region-locked content without guessing which server actually works.
No dark patterns. No hiding the cancellation button. No ToS that requires a law degree.
It's pre-launch right now. I'm looking for honest feedback from people who actually use VPNs daily - what would make you switch from your current provider, and what's the one thing every VPN gets wrong that nobody talks about?
