G'day all folks

Here is my personal Bullet VPN Review
No i don't get paid by anyone nor any provider or company

I will be using UDP/TCP/L2TP to test Bullet VPN has that's mostly used across platforms
Bullet VPN doesn't have IKEv2 so can't compare with other vpn platforms

Local speed tests within my home town Australia yay P.S quokka's are bloody cute

Local Speeds not looking too good let's try TCP and see if anything changes

Local speeds still not up to par with service
Now lets see if some magic happens with L2TP

Not bad i must say

As i spend a ton of time gaming on online across USA/Singapore
I ran some speed tests with and without VPN with BulletVPN to see how it compares
I only use UDP/TCP/ for gaming online cause it's stable

Question: People ask me why? well that's easy
Answer: Too many unknowns in the online world with trolls threatening to DDOS you just because
they lost a match against you, so it's better to stay safe regardless of what you are doing within legal reasons

Now before i give my final result here are some known facts
Pros:
KillSwitch
BulletShield noted in Windows App but it's faded out (Must not be working yet) i think it will act like a DNS Leak Protection when finished
Great for Online Surfing only
Cons:
Lack of some features currently for 1.4.1 Windows Client APP
No Minimize to tray option (how they didn't add this on the first release version is strange)
No Auto Login upon opening client
Not Fit for Online Gaming
Not Fit for FTP/Torrents etc
App said i had no Internet when i'm hardwired via cat 6 cable noted here:

Pricing Seems expensive for what i discovered, seems more like a jetstar provider

Do i recommend Bullet VPN as a provider?
BulletVPN Windows Client APP Version: 1.4.1
No Auto Login when launching Windows Client APP
No Minimize to tray option (how they didn't add this on the first release version is strange)
I did ask when that option would appear they said next app release, but no ETA on it (little disappointing)
Use for FTP - No
Use For Gaming - No
Use For Cheap VPN surfing the web Only - Yes

If you don't mind these limitations then Bullet VPN could be for you otherwise look for another provider
with more up to date features and constant improvements for Speeds/Gaming/FTP needs
And give them another 6 months roughly before checking them out again to see if anything has improved since
