Review summary

PairVPN helps users bypass hotspot throttling to achieve higher internet speeds and offers easy setup for tethering to other devices. It is appreciated for enabling fast connections in remote areas and supporting multiple devices. However, users frequently report disconnections, compatibility issues with other VPNs, and connection errors. The app sometimes fails to mask hotspot usage from carriers leading to throttling or suspensions. Its user interface and features lack polish, and stability issues during idle or long usage affect reliability. Developer support is responsive but improvements are needed.
Pros
  • Enables faster internet speeds by bypassing hotspot throttling, providing a more consistent and higher speed connection.
  • Simple and straightforward setup process for wireless tethering without speed restrictions.
  • Useful for extending hotspot data to other devices like laptops and gaming consoles in areas with limited internet access.
  • Developer responsive to emails and working to improve app functionality.
  • Allows for multiple devices to connect simultaneously within reason without significant speed degradation.
Cons
  • Frequent random disconnections and soft locking when device is idle, requiring manual reconnection or restart.
  • Incompatibility issues running alongside other VPN software, leading to crashes or failures.
  • Issues with client-side errors like 'internet connection error' and 'error 12007' causing failed connections and setup difficulties.
  • App sometimes fails to hide hotspot usage from carriers, leading to throttling or account suspensions.
  • User interface and features are lacking, with no options like starting app on boot or tray reconnection for PC side.
  • Some users experience the app becoming unresponsive or slow during extended use or idle periods.

I can't believe this app actually works. Currently on a galaxy S22 Ultra. Maxed out my hotspot limit with tmobile, 50 gb and was throttled to 600 kbps, with this app I've been getting a consistent 130-210 mbps during non peak times. 30-70 mbps during peak times. During the last 48 hours I've used roughly 400gb, downloading games through my laptop sharing internet to my xbox series x with PairVPN on my phone and laptop, running all night and for roughly 6 hours during the day.

Cleanest and fastest setup for wireless tethering without speed restrictions. You will lose some speed from your max 5G speed, but 200mbps on a wireless tether without throttling is pretty sweet!
