Best for a no-log VPN with RAM-only servers
OVPN is a paid VPN with RAM-only servers, multihop and port forwarding included in every plan. There is no free plan or trial, and the low price only comes on a 36-month term.
Who OVPN is for
- Fits if you want a stated no-log policy and port forwarding or multihop
- Works for people ready to commit to a 12 or 36 month term
Who OVPN is not for
- Not for you if you want to try before paying, as only a 10-day refund is offered
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $12 against $4.22 on the 36-month term
- Watch out: devices go from 4 to 5 to 7 as the term gets longer
- Watch out: the page does not say whether long terms are charged up front or what they renew at
- Skip it if you need servers in many countries, as there are only 32 cities
Why OVPN gets a 1.8
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$4.22 a month on the 36-month term and $4.99 on 12 months sit between the category's cheapest quarter ($3.99) and its middle ($5). Monthly is $12, and the page does not say what longer terms renew at.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan or trial; a 10-day money-back guarantee is not a trial.
- CFeaturesNo-log policy, RAM-only servers, multihop, port forwarding, kill switch, OpenVPN and WireGuard. The listing's own gap is 32 server cities, fewer than the largest providers.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and the listing gives no setup details.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWindows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android, so phone and computer.

Keep OVPN, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace OVPN you would be making servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 42 of the 50 other VPNs grade higher. It costs $50.64 a year.
What you could make
- Ad and tracker blocking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Servers in dozens of countries, kept fast and private.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. OVPN’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is OVPN?
OVPN is a paid VPN service launched in 2014 that says it keeps no logs and runs its own diskless servers in 32 cities. Every plan includes port forwarding, multihop and an ad and tracker blocker, and the plans differ mainly in term length and how many devices connect at once.
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan or free trial; the page lists a 10-day money-back guarantee instead.
- The device limit rises with term length: 4 on the monthly plan, 5 on 12 months and 7 on 36 months.
- The pricing page does not say whether the longer terms are charged up front or what they renew at.
- Servers are in 32 cities, a smaller footprint than the largest VPN providers.
Key features
- Diskless servers
- OVPN says its servers have no hard drives and load their operating system into RAM, so nothing is written to disk.
- No-log policy
- The vendor states that it logs no activity while you are connected, and its security page describes how syslogs are disabled.
- Multihop
- Route traffic through two servers. The pricing page lists it as included on every plan at no extra cost.
- Port forwarding
- Open ports through the VPN for incoming connections, such as torrent clients. Included on every plan.
- Desktop kill switch
- The desktop client blocks traffic if the VPN drops, and it rewrites DNS settings on all network adapters to prevent leaks.
- OpenVPN and WireGuard
- Both protocols are offered, and the site publishes configuration files and setup guides for routers and other devices.
