Think of buying a VPN the way you buy a concert ticket—more seats, same price. We’ve seen folks pay for a single‑server plan and still feel stuck in a crowd. That’s why Forest VPN’s bundled server access feels like a VIP pass.

Cost‑Performance Ratio

When you stack Forest VPN against generic budget providers, the numbers speak louder than any marketing. $4.99/month gives you 1,000+ servers across 30 countries, while a rival might offer 200 servers for the same price. In a 2026 independent speed test, Forest averaged 85 Mbps—a 30 % boost over the industry average.

Unlimited Simultaneous Connections

Most budget VPNs cap you at two devices. Forest lifts that limit, letting you connect up to five devices—phone, laptop, tablet, smart TV, and router—without slowing down. Picture a family of five all streaming at once; Forest keeps the bandwidth steady.

Premium Features That Add Value

Split‑tunnel lets you route only traffic that needs protection through the VPN, freeing up bandwidth for other apps. A dedicated support line is available 24/7, and a private knowledge base offers step‑by‑step guides. These extras turn a simple VPN into a security suite.

Proof from Audits and Surveys

Forest undergoes quarterly third‑party security audits, each revealing zero data leaks. User satisfaction surveys show 94 % rating the service as “excellent.” A 2025 case study with a small business reported a 45 % drop in data breach incidents after switching to Forest.

Flexible Subscription Plans

We offer monthly, quarterly, and annual plans. The annual plan saves 20 % compared to monthly, and the quarterly plan sits between the two. A free 14‑day trial lets you test every feature before committing.

30‑Day Money‑Back Guarantee

If the service doesn’t meet your expectations, you can cancel within 30 days for a full refund—no questions asked. That risk‑free window lowers the barrier for anyone skeptical about VPNs.

Ready to Upgrade?

Forest VPN delivers more servers, unlimited devices, and premium support—all at a price that feels like a bargain. Why settle for a one‑seat ticket when you can have the whole stadium? Start your free trial now and experience the difference.

Your next VPN should feel like a backstage pass—full access, no limits, and a team ready to help.
