I started using Viva VPN a few months back when my usual provider kept dropping during video calls. What stood out immediately was how quickly it connected—usually under three seconds, even when switching servers. The app offers a good selection of locations, and I often use the US and UK servers to access region-locked content like BBC iPlayer, which works smoothly without buffering. One thing I appreciate is how lightweight it feels. It doesn’t drain my battery, and I’ve noticed barely any impact on my iPhone’s performance. The interface is clean and simple—tap to connect, and you’re set. There’s also a handy quick-connect feature that picks the optimal server based on your location, which is great when you’re in a hurry. It’s not flawless, though. I did experience a slight speed dip once during heavy traffic, but reconnecting fixed it. For a free tier with optional upgrades, it’s impressive. If you travel often or use public Wi-Fi, this is a no-brainer for keeping your data safe without sacrificing speed.
