We were able to connect to the Betterspot wirelessly on a MacBook, a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, an iPad Air, and an LG HDTV. It saves you turning the Betterspot off, or unplugging, when you want to access something without a VPN or Tor. The final option is a direct connection, which effectively turns off the VPN and connects you as normal through your existing router. If you’re not familiar with it, then check out our beginner’s guide to Tor.

You can also select the Tor protocol, which is free to use, but performance will vary. You’ll need a subscription with Betternet to use this option (more on that later). The app allows you to select the Betternet protocol and choose a server location, or automatically pick the fastest option. You’ll also be able to configure through a WebAdmin panel in your browser for Mac and PC. At the time of writing you can only configure through iOS, but there will be an Android app ready in time for the December ship date. To configure the Betterspot we had to download and install the official app on our iPad. Fitbit Versa 3īetterspot is plug-and-play, so setup is easier than you’d think.
