Mysterium VPN review

The Plus subscription and Mysterium Dark are different

Mysterium VPN Plus is the fixed subscription reviewed here. It is distinct from Mysterium Dark, the separate usage-based product involving a MYST-token wallet. A balance or setup instruction for Dark should not be presented as part of a Plus subscription, and purchasing the subscription does not establish that a legacy wallet has transferred.

The current tiers also differ within the subscription product. Basic covers six devices without residential exits or city selection; Plus covers ten with those capabilities; Pro adds further protections and fifteen-device coverage. Mixing Basic’s price with Plus’s residential features or Pro’s device count would create an offer that the provider does not sell.

Residential access is not an exclusive address

Plus includes access to residential exits and city-level selection. A residential address describes the type of network exit; it does not mean the address is reserved for your account or remains unchanged between connections. It also does not guarantee that a particular website will accept traffic or stop showing verification challenges.

Availability can vary by place and time. Consider whether you need a particular city, a broad country choice or simply an encrypted connection, and check those requirements before choosing a long term. No dedicated static-IP purchase offer was established here. The provider’s privacy claims are not an infrastructure audit performed by this site.

Native apps and a newly released Linux CLI

The subscription has Windows, macOS, Android and iOS apps. The newer mystvpn command-line client supports Ubuntu and Debian and uses the existing subscription account. It is terminal-only rather than a graphical Linux application. This current release should be distinguished from older help pages that only associate Linux with Mysterium Dark.

The Linux client uses WireGuard through wg-quick and has no OpenVPN protocol selector. Current support separately documents an OpenVPN TCP option in the subscription app, without establishing an identical platform matrix. Native-app kill-switch documentation covers Windows, macOS, Android and iOS; that scope should not be transferred automatically to Linux.

A router slot and an always-on failure safeguard

Compatible routers can receive a WireGuard configuration generated in the Mysterium dashboard. The initial router release permits one active router configuration per account, using one device slot. Changing the location requires replacing that configuration. Confirm WireGuard client support in the exact router firmware rather than relying on a general VPN label.

The native-app kill switch is described as always enabled for unexpected connection loss, with an important distinction: manually disconnecting does not trigger it. The help centre still says general split tunneling is unavailable. A browser extension only protecting browser traffic is a different arrangement from excluding selected applications inside the full-device VPN.

Use the complete current offer rather than an old headline

The current canonical Plus offer shows USD 54. 94 billed for two years, with VAT potentially added. Its monthly headline is rounded and does not make it monthly charging. Older indexed pricing variants showed different amounts and are not used to replace the newer canonical total. Other billing periods remain unverified in this record.

A separately guaranteed promotional renewal amount was not established, so no future price is invented from crossed-out comparison figures. Confirm tax, refund and renewal conditions in the final order. This review includes no measured speed, streaming or connection-loss testing; the residential feature and app descriptions should not be read as performance results from a paid account.

The public plan labels USD 54.94 every 24 months as the recurring billing amount for the stated two-year period. This records the published recurring rate, not a guarantee against future price changes. Confirm the final order terms for your purchase region.
