Stealing money from a card. Hidden billing. There is no return. A useless, fraudulent service.
The service does not solve any of the tasks that we see in their promotional offers. This is a scam. Also, you will never solve with them the problem that all gamers with PS Plus know about. They will simply charge you money and throw you for this amount.
Also, after linking the card, without your consent, money will be debited from you in the future. You will not be able to get a refund from the support, because they do not care. Write immediately to your bank for unauthorized debiting of money.
Good luck to everyone and do not use this service.
After correspondence with the support service, they wrote to me that I turned on auto payments - this is a lie, because no one will voluntarily pay for a service that is not needed)
Cheers
UPD:
Everything was exactly as I wrote it. It is not necessary to deceive people and write off money without their knowledge from the card.

This person has us confused with what seems to be another geo-unblocking service. We make no claims of anything related to "PS Plus" or advertise geo-unblocking features anywhere on our website.
Control D is a DNS filtering platform geared for organizations and power users.
As for billing, it clearly states that you're starting a subscription when you pay, much like with every single online service out there. A subscription can be cancelled and resumed at will, in the Billing section.
The reason this person is upset is because they imagined that Control D is a service for getting cheap Playstation games, not a managed DNS filtering platform that most people use 24/7 on all their devices.

I bought your service an hour ago and doesn´t work nothing. It's a real scam and they don't answer emails.

You bought a service an hour ago and posted this review because nobody responded in one hour?
I think you have us confused with another geo-unblocking service, which Control D is not.
Best Managed DNS I ever saw
Unsure what the other people are talking about, but Control D is a managed DNS service, not a geo-unblocking tool.
I have it setup on all my devices and home router, works like magic. I'm blocking malicious domains, ads and stuff my kids shouldn't see. Recently switched from NextDNS and could not be happier.

We provide refunds as per our Terms of Service, and offer a 30 day free trial that requires no payment info at all, which everyone is welcome to take advantage of.
This person claims every business they interact with is a "scammer" as per their post history.

That controld service is backend by overloaded residential proxies that's not a dns resolver, i tried their product on VOOT and TATAPLAY that never worked, when i asked about refund they send me email ...issues related to geo-unblocking are outside the scope of this policy and are not eligible for a refund.
Then for what you are providing your service?

Control D is not a geo-unblocking service, you have us confused with another company. We do not advertise features you're claiming as not working.
Control D is a managed DNS filtering platform geared for power users and organizations.
