CometVPN is a VPN service with a paid add-on: home internet addresses. Instead of a server in a data center, your traffic can leave through an address that an ordinary internet provider assigned to someone’s home, so sites that block VPN addresses treat you as a regular visitor. These residential addresses are billed by the gigabyte or as a fixed address per month.

The standard VPN is cheap: $45.36 for two years, and the price does not go up at renewal as long as you keep the subscription. It includes WireGuard, OpenVPN and servers that disguise VPN traffic, and CometVPN states no limit on devices.

The trade-off is trust. Nobody has checked the no-logs claim, and the privacy policy keeps a record of every connection for up to 9 months.

No-Logs Audit

CometVPN has never had an independent no-logs audit or a published penetration test. What the service stores is known only from its own privacy policy.

The policy says CometVPN does not log the sites you visit, DNS queries, the content of your traffic, or your real IP address while you are connected. It does keep a record of each connection: your account ID, the server you used and how long the session lasted. These records are deleted within 9 months after the session ends. The service also records how much data you used, your app and system versions, and a random identifier for each device. The App Store listing says CometVPN does not store “session timestamps”, which does not match the policy’s own description of session records.

When an app crashes, the error report goes to Sentry together with your account ID and email address, and for VPN errors it can include the protocol and the server. Support chats are stored in Intercom. If CometVPN receives a binding legal order, the policy says it can hand over only the data listed in the policy, which includes the connection records.

There are no public reports of court cases, server seizures or data leaks involving CometVPN.

Pricing

The 12-month plan costs $30.00 ($2.50 a month) and comes with one extra month. The 24-month plan costs $45.36 ($1.89 a month) and comes with three extra months. According to the terms, a plan bought at a discount renews at the same price for as long as the subscription stays active; if you cancel and buy again later, the current price applies. The monthly plan costs $9.99.

The 30-day money-back guarantee covers only the 12- and 24-month plans, once per account. The monthly plan is not refundable, and neither is any payment made in cryptocurrency. Cards, PayPal and cryptocurrency are accepted, and VAT may be added. There is a 3-day free trial that needs payment details; according to the company, cancelling it ends access at once rather than at the end of the three days.

Residential addresses cost extra: Native Residential from $0.70 per gigabyte, with unused traffic kept indefinitely, and a Dedicated Residential IP from $2.79 a month.

Security & Protocols

The apps offer two protocols, WireGuard and OpenVPN, plus obfuscated servers, which disguise VPN traffic as ordinary HTTPS on networks that block VPNs. Obfuscation is included at no extra cost, but CometVPN does not describe how it works.

The kill switch works at the system level and is turned on in the app settings. Split tunneling is available only in the Android app. The apps are closed source. An App Store reviewer reports random disconnects in China; the developer’s reply recommends switching to the obfuscated protocol in the app settings. Native apps exist for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and Apple TV, plus extensions for Chrome and Firefox; there is no Linux app.

In a test on the Polish site Spider’s Web, the kill switch blocked all traffic when the network adapter was switched off, and DNS and WebRTC leak tests found no leaks. The same test measured 888 Mbps on a German server over WireGuard against 918 Mbps without a VPN, and under 45 Mbps over OpenVPN on the same server.

Servers & Torrenting

CometVPN does not publish how many servers it runs. The free-trial page mentions 50+ locations and the App Store listing 70+ countries; the Spider’s Web test counted 54 countries on the standard servers. The locations page lists about 200 countries and territories, but that list includes the residential pool, which is a separate paid service.

The terms forbid only illegal use and say nothing about torrenting, so it is not banned. Streaming has not been checked in an independent test.

Residential IPs

With Native Residential, each connection gets an address from a home internet provider, rotating on every request or kept for up to 24 hours, with a choice of country, state, city or provider. CometVPN says the pool has more than 32 million addresses in 195+ countries. The same traffic can be used as a proxy in a browser or a script. A Dedicated Residential IP is a fixed home address that only you use.

CometVPN says only that these addresses are “sourced from a tried-and-tested provider” and does not name it or explain how the owners of those homes agreed to share their connection. In the Spider’s Web test, a residential address in the UK passed BBC iPlayer’s VPN check, while the standard London server was blocked. A Trustpilot reviewer reported a residential location in Florida that exited in Chicago.

Jurisdiction

The About Us page names COMET TECH INC., registered in Panama City. Panama is outside the Fourteen Eyes (a group of countries that share intelligence).

Our Rating

No-Logs Audit & Trust4.0/10
No independent audit of any kind. The privacy policy keeps a record of each connection (account ID, server and session length) for up to 9 months, while the App Store listing says session timestamps are not stored.
Security Features7.0/10
WireGuard, OpenVPN, free obfuscated servers and a system-level kill switch. Split tunneling works only on Android. The apps are closed source and have never had a published security test.
Speed & Reliability6.5/10
The only measurement comes from a test on the Polish site Spider's Web: 888 Mbps on a German WireGuard server against 918 Mbps without a VPN, but under 45 Mbps over OpenVPN. An App Store reviewer reports random disconnects in China, and a Trustpilot reviewer reports a residential location that exited in another city.
Price & Value9.0/10
The 2-year plan costs $45.36 and renews at the same price as long as you do not cancel, which works out to $1.89 a month. The monthly plan at $9.99 cannot be refunded, and neither can payments in crypto.
Support & Usability6.5/10
Simple apps for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and Apple TV, no Linux app, and no stated device limit. The site advertises 24/7 support, but the company itself says on Trustpilot that its team is not online around the clock. Trustpilot score 4.0 from 34 reviews.
