What is a VPN?
A VPN is an acronym meaning 'Virtual Private Network', historically used by private organisations to link geographically diverse locations seamlessly via the internet. A VPN 'tunnels' traffic between two devices by transmitting it over the public internet. Overplay takes this one step further by giving you the option to encrypt all the traffic you send and receive, and additionally allows you to 'appear' to be located many miles (and often in a different country!) from where you really are.

What data is encrypted?
That is up to you! Since encryption actually increases the size (and the computing power) required to send data, we leave that decision in your hand. We can offer both encrypted and non-encrypted VPN profiles. Non-encrypted profiles are obviously faster, but are less suited to use in public areas liable to 'sniffing', such as WiFi hotspots.
Do you keep logs of web sites I visit?
No! Honestly, we have no interest in which web sites you visit. It doesn't affect our business and so, as long as it's legal, feel free to visit wherever you like. We only log
connection times and data usage totals 
- and this is only stored for a limited period.
What usage restrictions do you enforce?
As few as possible to maintain a healthy service for all users. All we ask is that you keep it legal, and consider the impact of what you're doing on any other users who may be trying to enjoy our service.
What is the minimum subscription term?
You pay monthly in advance, and that is your only commitment. If you choose to cancel your subscription, which you can do at any time by visiting
your PayPal account, you'll retain any access time you'd already paid for, and you won't be rebilled. After that, you're obviously free to rejoin us at any point, should you wish to do so.
