MicroVPN Review : Conclusion

We enjoyed testing the MicroVPN service. The setup was simple with a pre-configured US-PPTP connection file. Performance and reliability were alright and the price is good. Yet MicroVPN lacks the features, protocol options and network locations offered by leading VPN services.
