The app also has a function to run a speed test and create a support ticket.
Customer Support
SaferVPN has a prompt live chat support when we tried it during morning time CST. However, we didn’t get the same promptness when we contacted support at a later time of the day. So, we’re assuming that the customer support is not available 24/7.
The other way to contact customer support is by submitting a ticket. A knowledge base is also available on the website wherein solutions to common problems are detailed.
