Seed4me,
This VPN service is good enough but also DNS leak

Installation and registration was easy enough.

Made an initial connection and tested, which worked OK.

Then activated the killswitch and came across problems.

Firstly, when I disconnected from one source and trued to connect to another it would not connect and even after completely unloading the software from memory the killswitch remained active.

Then when I fired it up again, instead of being able try to make a connection all I see is the status that it is disconnecting.

Things get even worse when I rebooted, only to find that the kill switch is still activated.

I don't have the software set to auto start, so this should never be the case.

I had to load it up again and deselect the killswitch to get basic access to the net and network again.

So whatever the benefits of this VPN are, there are some basic fundamentals that require work as it was rather frustrating almost from the off.

I will leave you with this evaluation from a previous buyer:


"The first thing that appears when you open this app is a message telling you that the app will intercept all internet traffic, followed by a check box saying "I trust this app" with yes or no check boxes to choose from. If you check no, the app closes. You can't see ANY settings or more importantly read the privacy policy without "trusting" the app. I looked at the apps. permissions and saw that it had access to just about everything on and in my device (Kindle HDX).

I checked the developers webpage to see their info, credentials, and privacy policy and it's no surprise that there is no phone number for the company or an address. There is a generic "contact us" web form available, but that's it. Any company that has software that has access to every feature of your device should be reputable enough to at least give their phone number and a person to contact.

There terms, which are buried on their webpage are fairly generic, but include the following statement that concerned me:

"Seed4.Me reserves the right to install, manage and operate one or more software, monitoring or other solutions designed to assist us in identifying and/or tracking activities that we consider to be illegal or violations of these ToS's"

In other words, they have full permission to install spy software and use it as they please anytime they want without you knowing when or what they are monitoring. Now, I'm in full support of online security and support the feature fully but only IF there is a report of someone violating the terms or committing a crime. In my opinion, it's pretty sketchy for a software company with no address or phone number to require that you trust an app they tell you nothing about and require you to give them permission to install spyware software on your device and use it as they wish without just cause and without you realizing it.

Online security is a MUST in my opinion. I would never use an app that has full access to everything on my device, states that it can and will "monitor" my online activity, yet gives absolutely no information about the app developer.

Sounds like "trusting" this app may be an open invitation for data breaching and/or identity theft. It's ironic because vpn apps. are designed to help protect your online identity yet the company wants to use spyware on those that use the app and developed the app to have permissions of pretty much everything on your device - much more than is necessary for the app. to properly function.

I Uninstalled it immediately upon learning these facts and it was no surprise that the uninstaller left lots of junk on my Kindle that I had to remove manually.

It may or may not work as designed I don't know. In my opinion, using this app is no different than giving a total stranger that you have no information about and no way to contact complete access to everything on your computer and full permission to spy on you as they wish. No thank you."

Will it work for XP Pro 32bit (which I use 95% of the time) ?

Vpn creates a virtual encrypted tunnel between you and a remote server operated by a VPN service.All your internet traffic is routed through this tunnel, so your data is secure from hackers and prey.To understand the use of the VPN, consider yourself in the airport or a coffee shop you are using public WiFi network or hotpots. connect to free network without consider that its secure .but do we know its legit or anybody watching us hackers look for victims for there personnel information.bank account credit card Facebook soon etc.so you what excess a website which you cannot excess because of geographical location or moved to different country vpn helps to excess which any limits.among the enemy of free speech the ISP government military NSA watch what people doing on the computer.you don't want that privacy is everyone rights.you don't have this same level of choice when it comes to your ISP, which controls your home's gateway to the entirety of the internet. While there are alternatives to Google and Facebook, most Americans have limited home ISP alternatives.protect yourself with a VPN.VPN is a uniquely powerful tool that you should definitely have in your personal security toolkit, especially in today's connected world.

Downloaded and installs ok but I didn't realize that some modifications are necessary in Windows 10. In settings, add a VPN connection, can anyone tell me how to fill in the necessary info? TIA

Thanks for the offer but I'll stick with the wind scribe 60 gig per month for life giveaway I got from here which does everything this one does but never expires

Is there any indication that the VPN provider is logging your activities and selling the information like Avast is reported to do?

I installed this about 2AM and tried several times to get an email code to no avail. I tried several more times this morning and even contacted their customer support people via email, and no reply. I uninstalled this software and would recommend anyone interested in VPS look at other options.

I cannot access any streaming services when the VPN is running. Has anyone found a way to do this?

2020.05.24
installs tap-windows provider v9 network adapter from openvpn technologies (makes ip anonymous)
free six mo trial, then costs ~us$2.50/month.

A "kill switch" is a necessary requirement for any reputable VPN service. My suggestion would be to add the ability to stop the network connection in the event that the VPN service stops for any reason.

Here is review of them. I have always checked this site for reviews on VPN's.

Anyone know what the code is to claim 6 months?

Do they keep logs?

Can I use this vpn in my android phone

Seed4.Me reserves the right to install, manage and operate one or more software, monitoring or other solutions designed to assist us in identifying and/or tracking activities that we consider to be illegal or violations of these ToS’s. sounds like spyware to me

My idea for you: If this is also for mobile devices then I would like to see a feature where it automatically connects to VPN when it senses that you are not connected to your home wifi. That would save having to keep turning the VPN on when you use wifi in a pub etc. I have not seen any other VPN's do this!

I installed it on my android player, it will not open Netflix for me.
But I'm able to view few other geo blocked streams with nice flow.
So free for 6 it's looks fine so far.

What kind of company is Seed4.me????

Only a copyright says it's a INC. company, but where from???

I'll pass today.

Though it says it is for Win 7 x64 after creating account it says No automatic it "automatic setup not supported for your system". What to do ?

They are for a rogue software, log into the web but can't log in to the software. Why? Phishing takes time

My own opinion "only 6 months". This is a subscription-based service. Why should they give you more time to try out their service.

My MAJOR PROBLEM with any VPN: My Microsoft word stops syncing with the One Drive cloud when VPN is open. I need Internet and Word open all the time and when using VPN (recently Nord VPN) I can't use Word documents from the cloud (One Drive). My insightful idea for you - find a workaround about this issue to increase your customer base. In the USA they just voted that the Government may spy on your browser history without asking you and without a warrant. Find solutions about that and offer your soft here in the US.

A built in firewall that disconnect internet access when connections are dropped.

Followed the installation and registration procedure, but the VPN just says 'Access Expired' 'Extend'. Have tried reinstalling from the account I had just set up - no change. Not an auspicious start!
Will uninstall unless a solution is forthcoming.

Very poor support. The VPN is not working (got it from another giveaway), and they are not able to tell me how I get TAP-Windows V9 Adapter that is not visible in my list of all configured network adapters (Windows 10).

6 months licence is just an extended trial licence. It shouldould be 12 months. I will pass this one.

Are there any data caps?
