Why choose vpn.now
Connect through our New York, United States server
We are starting with one server and adding more locations as we grow. Connect and your traffic is encrypted, with websites seeing the server's IP address instead of yours.
Browse at full speed
The protocol we run is one of the fastest VPN protocols available. Most people notice no difference in day to day browsing.
Keep your browsing more private
Your internet provider normally sees every site you visit. With vpn.now it only sees one encrypted connection, and websites lose your real IP address.
Stay safer on public Wi-Fi
Coffee shop, hotel, and airport networks are easy places to snoop on traffic. vpn.now wraps your connection in strong encryption before it leaves your device.
Protect all your devices
Use vpn.now on your phone, laptop, and tablet with one free account. There is no device limit, so every device you own can connect at the same time.
Honest protection, honest limits
We will never tell you a VPN makes you untraceable. It does not. What it does is raise the bar: encrypted traffic, a hidden IP address, and less data for networks to collect.
What you get compared to going without
A clear look at what changes when you turn vpn.now on. No exaggeration, just the facts.
| vpn.now | Typical free VPN | No VPN | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traffic encrypted on public Wi-Fi | |||

(1) We never store browsing history, DNS queries, or traffic contents. Many free VPNs fund themselves by collecting and selling usage data. Read exactly what we do and do not keep on our transparency page.
Wait, why is it free? Here is the honest version
"Free VPN" usually means you are the product. Ours does not. This is exactly how it works, with the catch stated up front.
Free really means free
No credit card, no trial that quietly starts billing, no data cap, and no device limit. You make an account with an email and you are in.
The catch, stated plainly
Free accounts are speed limited to about 10 Mbps. That is the one real limit. It is plenty for browsing and everyday use, and we tell you before you sign up, not after.
We do not sell your data
We cannot sell what we never collect. No browsing history, no DNS queries, no traffic contents are stored. The full list of what we keep is on our transparency page.
No ads, no trackers injected
We do not inject ads, affiliate scripts, or trackers into your traffic. A VPN that does that is doing the opposite of its job.
So how do we keep it running?
We run a number of other projects, and they come with more bandwidth than they use. That spare capacity is what powers vpn.now, so we can offer it free to everyone. We will never fund this by selling your data or showing you ads. If that ever changes, we will say so on this page first.
Create a free accountYour key to a more private internet
When you use a VPN, your traffic travels through an encrypted tunnel to one of our servers before it reaches the open internet. Websites see the server's IP address instead of yours.
This makes it harder for websites, advertisers, and your internet provider to track where you are and what you do online. It does not make you anonymous, and we will never claim it does.

Making privacy honest
The VPN industry is full of claims that no product can keep, like total anonymity or untraceable browsing. We built vpn.now to be the opposite: a simple tool that does a few things well and tells you the truth about its limits.
We keep the minimum data needed to run your account, and we never store what you do through the VPN.
Read our transparency page
Minimal data
We store your email, a hashed password, billing records, and device public keys. Nothing about your browsing is ever recorded. The full list is in our privacy policy.
Honest claims
Every promise on this site is backed by how the product actually works. If a feature is on the roadmap rather than live today, our security page says so plainly.
You stay in control
Add and remove devices and rotate keys yourself from your dashboard. The service is free, so there are no charges, no hidden fees, and no retention tricks.
