I have used your service in the past and was very satisfied, however I cannot or could not get it to load on one of my devices. Your product is good it just doesn't fit my needs at this time.

Good VPN

Good VPN. I changed to another VPN because of a group I belong to that prefers another.

Worked great for years

Worked great for years, then would no longer allow me to watch various streaming videos from the main service providers while overseas. I now have a VPN that works all the time, 100%.

Reliable service but hard to renew in China

I've been using Gotrusted VPN for 5 years, in general it's been reliable and trustworthy. Mostly I use the service in China, even though from time to time, I experienced the stability issue and sometimes it might cause my laptop to crash and reboot, but I had a peace of mind knowing that I could count on Gotrusted when needed.

Recently my credit card expired and I'm not able to go on to Gotrusted website to renew the payment info cause the website is blocked in China. Now I'm very disappointed since my service is discontinued and I have no way to fix it.

Wondering if there is anyway that allows me to amend my payment info and continue the service at the same rate.

Cheers!

Consistently worked well

I used Gotrusted for six years while living in Ecuador. It was always available and worked consistently. There was no obvious slow down.

I was sceptical at first joining but after several years of great service I am a fan of Go Trusted . Now that I have left China as an expat after 9 years I do not need VPN. Highly recommend GoTrusted for those who want to have VPN. Great service and efficient!!

We believe during that time, an error in Google/Yahoo, etc. caused our emails to be blocked or put into a Spam folder despite our company never being part of a spam campaign.

We currently have many users in China connecting every day. It is a constantly evolving situation that requires many days to address at times.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Back in Nov 18 my gotrusted VPN stopped working (it would connect, but download speed dropped to 0). I contacted gotrusted who replied with three alternative addresses to connect to, but none of these worked. I emailed them back to say they did not work and never received a reply. I then stared to email gotrusted on a weekly or so basis asking why they were ignoring me, and what are they going to do about the fact that I have paid £70 for a service that is not working. I even emailed them to say that if they cannot provide a solution, then refund me for the 7 or 8 months left that I have and cancel my subscription. Gotrusted finally replied with a message saying "As requested we have cancelled your account." However, I have received absolutely no refund or recompense whatsoever.
My advice to anyone is do not use gotrusted. Their product (when working) restricts your internet speed a by quiet a bit, but when you have a problem and they cannot fix it, you will be ignored. Their customer service is abysmal, the worst I have ever experienced. AVOID GOTRUSTED AT ALL COSTS

We apologize for your experience, but it sounds like a local configuration issue. We have answered your emails but it looks like unfortunately they have landed in your Spam folder. There is little we can do in this situation since our responses will never arrive to you. We recommend to other customers to use the Chat window to contact us if it appears emails are not being responded to.
