What the Community Says
Kaspersky VPN comes across as a solid “turn it on and it works” option for everyday browsing, especially if you already use Kaspersky antivirus. People like that it can be pretty cheap in bundles, and some say it runs smoothly on Android with handy options like turning the VPN on only for specific apps. After updates, a few folks noticed apps that were previously blocked started working again, which made it feel more reliable.
The biggest complaints are about limitations and occasional headaches: torrenting can be frustrating because there’s no port forwarding, which can hurt performance in apps like qBittorrent. Some also ran into annoying connection issues (VPN not loading, network weirdness) and extra friction like needing an account to activate when it used to work with just a code. There’s also chatter about behind-the-scenes provider/infrastructure changes making the service feel inconsistent for some people, plus the occasional billing/account hassle.
Strengths

- Simple to use for everyday browsing
- Works well on Android with per-app VPN options
- Often stable after recent updates
Weaknesses
- Not great for torrenting (no port forwarding)
- Can be inconsistent depending on updates/provider changes
- Account may be required for activation
- Occasional connection and network issues
