Best value VPN on the market
I purchased this lifetime deal last month and was surprised to see the rating go down since then. I've had a great experience so far. No issues while using the VPN to many different servers. I travel a lot so I've tested in many places in the US, South America, and Europe.
The NYC streaming server has worked perfectly for me to watch Netflix and Amazon Prime abroad. Outside of streaming, I try to choose servers in countries with the best privacy protections, like Switzerland. The farther the server is from me though the more of a speed loss I see, but I think this is true of any VPN.
Within the EU I'd say I see a 20-30% speed drop connecting to Switzerland. From farther away like the US, it might be as high as 40-50%. In the US I usually connect to Canada, where again the drop is more minimal at 20-30%.
I'd say the speed drop and quantity of streaming-capable servers (NYC, London, Mumbai) are the biggest drawbacks to choosing Oyster over the big players in the market, but for the price Oyster is definitely worth it for me!
Side note for Google/Android TV users:
I also set up OysterVPN on my Google TV streaming stick and it was hard to sign in to my account because the Android app isn't optimized for Google TV, but after a couple minutes I was able to figure it out, and it works great once signed in.

Thanks Jason! That sounds great. Regarding my experience on Google TV, there wasn't an error I encountered. The issue was a usability problem that made it challenging to sign in. My arrow key input kept getting switched to the onboarding visuals on the left hand side and I couldn't get back to the password input. I think there might have been one other similar UX issue, but again I eventually got my account info entered and everything is fine now.

Server list not complete
Sir, madam,
I am missing a number of countries that are listed on your main page, but I do not see them as a server in the App, including Austria. I purchased the app from you because of this country. It is a disappointment that this country is not on the list. Will this country be added in the short term?
Best regards,
Barry

Dec 3, 2024Hi there,
We apologize that you experienced this problem. The server was in the App list, but we had to shut it down because it was not being used. However, we restart the server whenever a client requests it. and we undoubtedly accept client requests to bring the server back online.
Your desired server will be back online shortly.
Thank you,
Regards,
Jason Gray

Everything seems to work fine on my Mac.
Downloaded the App and scanned it with Avast and Intego anti-virus and the file was clean. I installed the Oyster program with ease and could quickly surf the web in different locations. I used the "What is my IP Address" website and my location changed to the location I set for the VPN. So for USD 29 to get a lifetime, VPN is a wonderful deal. I read a review by PC Magazine, and they stated that it is capable of streaming. Also, OysterVPN is located in Ireland and is owned by Oyster Digital Solutions Ltd. It's a new provider that launched its VPN services in early 2023. Ireland is ideal because it is outside the 14 Eyes spying collective and has no mandatory domestic data retention laws.
I don't use a VPN very often, but this appears to be a good deal! 😊 Happy Sumoling! 🎉
