SimontoX Max Plus PVN Pro: a free mobile VPN
Screenshots
SimontoX Max Plus PVN Pro is a free app that provides a mobile VPN service for its users to help protect their privacy when using online services. With the app, a user can browse anonymously from their mobile device, as well as connect to remote services through other apps, all without disclosing their true IP to remote service providers.
Like other VPN apps, such as Snap VPN, and Free VPN Proxy, SimontoX Max Plus PVN Pro routes your connection through remote servers around the world to hide your true IP address and location.
Simple to use and suitable for inexperienced users
When you launch the SimontoX app, you are presented with a step-by-step guide to get you started. This should take most of the stress away for users who are not tech-savvy or are unfamiliar with VPN or proxy services. When you are finished with the tutorial stage of the introduction, you can select a country to route your connection through.
SimontoX does not have the widest selection of locations, however, the options are quite spread out, including the United States, South Korea, Vietnam, Russia, Argentina, Ukraine and Japan. It is worth checking the locations available before using the app, especially if you have a geo-limited use in mind, such as signing into a specific country’s version of Netflix.
Good for geo-restricted use but not secure
Many VPN services have a "no log" policy, stating that they will not keep a record of your activities through their service. SimontoX does not have such a policy. Additionally, it uses cookies to track your usage, even when browsing anonymously. These cookies can be deactivated but are on by default. Disabling cookies will cause website content to differ.
While these security concerns may make SimontoX unsuitable for some users, it does not make the app "unsafe", as such. For users who are less concerned about anonymous browsing and just want to access geo-restricted services or content, SimontoX should be perfectly fine. The service does use encryption, so your information should be safe from third parties.
A plain but effective VPN app
If you are looking for a free plain VPN app, SimontoX Max Plus PVN Pro provides all of the basic services you would expect, including encryption, though the providers are not clear on what their encryption is. It does not have the widest selection of server locations, it generally has enough of a selection for the average user.
If you want a specific region, such as the United Kingdom, you might need to consider a different service. Similarly, if you need strong security and assurances of privacy, SimontoX probably isn’t an ideal choice. However, for getting around geo-restrictions and other location-based content blocks, SimontoX Max Plus PVN Pro should be up to the task.
