Doesn't Block Ads Very well. I tested this on a website called can you block it. Fail! Ublock origin blocked everything while this blocked zilch.

Die VPN-Verschlüsselung macht das surfen im Internet zu eine Geduldsprobe wie zu Win95-Zeiten. Die meisten Seiten öffnen erst nach der 2. Anforderung. Entweder stellt man VPN so ein, dass die Browser direkt, so wie vorher auch, ins Netz können oder man schaltet es AB. In der heutigen Zeit der Digitalisierung ein no go.
