LimeVPN

A two-plan VPN built around monthly billing

LimeVPN is a subscription VPN sold in two plans, Core and Plus, with the tagline "Simple VPN. Stable Access. No Lock-In." The VPN is the only product; the site also offers free tools such as an IP checker, DNS and IP leak tests, a speed test, a breach checker and a browser fingerprint test. On who can buy it: prices are shown in US dollars, the homepage says payment is taken "via Paddle" and shows Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and the pricing FAQ adds "cryptocurrency including Bitcoin and Ethereum". The pricing page says it has "Users in 50+ countries" but does not name any country where the service is not sold. Apps are listed for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, plus router configurations, and the site does not say which app stores carry the mobile apps. There is a free trial at sign-up with "No credit card required to try."

What the provider says it logs, and the audit it has not done

The site does not name an independent audit of its logging policy, and on this point LimeVPN says so itself. Its no-logs policy page states: "A formal third-party audit of our no-logs controls and server configuration has not been completed yet. We are working toward one," and adds, "We do not claim an audit we have not done." The FAQ answers the question "Is your no-logs policy independently audited?" with "Not yet."

The logging claims are the provider's own, and the policy page, last reviewed 14 March 2026, is specific. It says LimeVPN "does not retain logs of the websites you visit, domains you resolve, or traffic you send through the VPN", that the originating IP address "is not retained in long-term logs and is not linked to your browsing activity or account", and that it does not track bandwidth per user. It also lists what it keeps:

• Temporary session data, including the active connection count used to enforce the device limit, discarded within 24 hours of session end.
• Account data: e-mail address, hashed password and plan, kept until the account is deleted.
• Payment records for 7 years for tax and legal compliance, handled by Paddle; the page says "We do not store raw card data."
• Aggregate server metrics for 7 days with no user linkage.

The page says servers run with "activity logging disabled at the VPN daemon level", that multiple users share each server IP, and that DNS is resolved through LimeVPN's own encrypted resolvers. It also notes that the Plus plan's dedicated IP is "less anonymity-focused than a shared IP pool by design." The about page says a quarterly transparency report documents government requests and "the status of our security audits", and the policy page says requests are reviewed for jurisdiction and users are notified "where legally permitted."

On ownership, the footer reads "© 2026 LimeVPN" and the about page describes the team only as "a real team". The site does not name the company behind it or say where it is based.

Devices, routers and the network

For households with many devices, the relevant line is in the pricing FAQ, which says LimeVPN can be installed "on unlimited devices", naming Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and routers, and customers can "connect any 6 at the same time." Both plans carry the same limit of 6 simultaneous devices, and the homepage lists "router configurations" among its native app platforms. A router setup lets devices without an app use the VPN, though the site does not say which router firmware it supports.

The about page lists WireGuard as the default protocol, with OpenVPN and IKEv2/IPSec, AES-256-GCM encryption with perfect forward secrecy, and "Bare-metal dedicated servers" with "no shared cloud providers." The features page adds an RSA-4096 handshake and SHA-512 authentication. The about page also lists a kill switch, DNS and IPv6 leak protection, and split tunneling.

The network figures vary by page. The locations page gives "13 countries, 23 cities": New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Dallas and Seattle in the United States; Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver in Canada; London and Manchester; Frankfurt and Berlin; Amsterdam; Paris; Zurich; Stockholm; Tokyo; Singapore; Sydney and Melbourne; Hong Kong; and Mumbai. The pricing page, homepage and about page all say "30+" countries or locations. The site does not name streaming services it works with, though the features page says the dedicated IP means "no streaming blocks", and it describes a Gaming VPN option with DDoS protection. Torrenting is not addressed.

Plans, prices and refunds

The pricing page shows two plans in dollars:

• Core: 5.99 dollars per month billed monthly, or 4.08 dollars per month on the annual plan, "Billed $49/year".
• Plus: 9.99 dollars per month billed monthly, or 7.00 dollars per month annually, "Billed $84/year". Plus adds a dedicated static IP "never shared with anyone" and priority support.

The pricing FAQ says annual plans are billed upfront and monthly plans stop at the end of the billing period. The site does not state a separate renewal price, and the about page says the company avoids "fake discounts from inflated list prices." The pricing page and about page give a 7-day money-back guarantee; a button on the no-logs policy page says "30-Day Guarantee", so the pages disagree on the refund window. The pricing page shows "4.6 / 5 from 312+ verified users" without naming a source. Support is by live chat during business hours and by e-mail, which the about page says gets a reply "within 24 hours".

What the site leaves open, and who it suits

The open questions are clear. No audit has been done, by the provider's own statement. The company behind LimeVPN is not named, and neither is its home country. The country count differs between 13 and 30+, the refund window appears as 7 days on most pages and 30 days on one, and router support is stated without a firmware list. There is no streaming list and nothing on torrenting.

What it does publish is unusual detail on retention periods, a plain admission that there is no audit yet, monthly billing without a long contract, and an unlimited install count with 6 devices connected at once. LimeVPN suits a household that wants to put the VPN on a router and several devices without committing to a multi-year plan, or a remote worker who needs a dedicated IP. It suits less well someone who needs more than 6 connections at the same time or an outside audit of the logging policy.
