not useful, just the opposite. frequently web pages will not let me see them as it recognizes the vpn. i will switch countries and everything and try back a few minutes later to no avail. i end up turning off the vpn if i really need to see the page. If the vpn is recognizable and sites block it then its useless to me. to your response: I went to a group of websites and that did not seem to make a difference. I never said anything about getting a refund-- your assumption. No-me-likey-the app.
