VPN- City review

VPN-byen is a Danish but very scarce VPNservice, which is even rather expensive. It is targeted at Danish users who want to be able to watch Danish TV from abroad and therefore can only be connected to servers in Denmark.

The information on the website is sparse, but security should be in order, as recognized encryption protocols can be used. However, the anonymity is close to zero, then VPN- Byen, as a Danish company, is legally obliged to register and store information about users' use of the service.

It can easily be used for its purpose, but since the price is higher than for a premium VPNservice like ExpressVPN and over twice NordVPN, both of which are far more useful than VPN-The city, one should seriously consider whether they or one of the many other good VPNservices are not better alternatives.

However, it does not appear which apps use what. Do you want to decide for yourself and eg. use the OpenVPN, which is recommended as it (probably) is the most secure, so you have to manually set VPN on his device.
