Updated March 24, 2026Total VPN didn’t quite make it onto our list of the best VPN services, but it’s got enough going for it to be a viable option for many users. In this guide, I’ll go over everything you need to know about this provider (including detailed information about Total VPN’s pricing, features, interface, and more) to help you decide whether this would be the best choice for you.
The main advantages of Total VPN are the interface and server network, as well as the fact that the company behind it (Total Security) also offers many other useful tools. But there are also several notable disadvantages, such as the lack of double VPN/multi-hop capability.
Overall: (4)
Total VPN is available as part of a package with two other Total Security products, TotalAV (protects your computer from viruses) and Total Adblock (removes ads and trackers from your web browsing experience) — altogether, this package will cost you $99 per year, though there are usually deals available that will bring the cost of the first year down to around $29.

Overall: (4.2)
This provider has a no-logs policy, which means it won’t be able to share information about your online activities with any third party that might try to compel them to do so.
Total VPN also offers a kill switch — with this setting enabled, your internet will automatically be shut off if your VPN gets disconnected for whatever reason. This helps ensure that you don’t ever accidentally use the internet unprotected.
However, I did have to dock this provider a few points due to there being no double VPN/multi-hop capability.
Overall: (4.6)
Total VPN offers servers in over 90 different countries, giving you plenty of options to choose from when establishing your VPN connection.
With servers located everywhere from the Americas to Oceania (and many places in between), Total VPN stands out as an especially good option for those who plan to use their VPN to get around geo-restrictions.
Overall: (4.6)
The interface for the Total VPN app may be a bit plain, but I also found that it is quite easy to use. Of course, there are only a few settings to choose from in the first place, so it’s not like it was much of a challenge for the designers to come up with something that feels uncluttered.
Once you open the app, you’ll be presented with two options for establishing your connection — you can automatically connect to the fastest server available, or you can choose which specific location you would like to use.
As mentioned above, Total VPN is relatively light on features — but one especially helpful feature that it does have is split tunneling, which allows you to exclude certain apps from your VPN connection if needed.
It’s also worth noting that Total VPN offers native support for 13 different languages, including Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, and German.
Another nice touch is that Total VPN offers a dark theme in addition to the default light theme — this option is certainly easier on the eyes when you’re using your device at night.
Overall: (4.4)
Total VPN is available on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. While that covers most internet-connected devices, it’s not quite as impressive as a few other providers (for example, some VPN services offer dedicated apps for smart TVs as well).
Overall: (4.1)
Total VPN allows you to connect up to six devices with a single account. If you only plan to use your VPN yourself, then that will likely be enough. But if you’re looking for an option that will allow your whole family to share the same plan, you should be aware that there are other providers out there that will allow you to connect an unlimited number of devices.
Total VPN is constantly making tweaks behind the scenes in order to enhance their service. Some of the latest developments include:
The table below shows how Total VPN stacks up against its top competitors. As you can see, there are a few providers like Proton VPN and Surfshark that hold an advantage in several areas, such as simultaneous connections and double VPN/multi-hop capability — but when comparing the cost, it’s important to consider that there’s only one Total VPN plan available, and it comes with powerful antivirus and ad-blocking tools included.
