Took my money even though I said don't In the past they've done ok, but this time it's been a nightmare. I started a new trial but it wouldn't apply to my account. So I emailed them and asked to cancel the account and annual renewal. They haven't replied to that request.

They lie about the location where you will appear after connecting to a remote location in another country. It seems you select New York, NY for example and when you check the IP address with "What's My IP Address?" it will show London, UK, or Miami, FL? WTH?!!?!

Don't waste your money! The company claims that it can offer IP location services that may not work properly, especially in certain locations in the Middle East. So, if this is what you're looking for, be cautious and consider whether it's worth your investment.
