Promised to have Russia on the list and asked to disable other extension. Didn't have Russian servers available. Waste of time.

It is the worst VPN I have come across. Firstly, it doesn't even work as it says that I am in a country that I am not. The website advertises multiple VPNs but only has one download that has a selection of 3 countries.

Advertised that they have VPN for France, but they don't. Wasted 30 minutes on configuring this. Here's the page for proof: https://www.urban-vpn.com/locations/france-vpn/

Urban Shield is a good VPN, BUT, it does not hold the server IP locations. Disconnects after 25 to 60 minutes and I have to reconnect. Can't watch a two hour movie or work on a webpage that needs a VPN to open. Please, fix this. Thanks!

Korean VPN did not work for me, you definitely should check it, because I got error even on google.com. https://share.getcloudapp.com/NQugAmyA Checked Canada and some other countries. It worked. So please fix Korea and you will get Five Stars

The biggest problem of this extension is that when it is installed you cannot visualize properly the images in google.
