A VPN without the hype
We built vpn.now because the VPN industry has an honesty problem. Most providers promise total anonymity and military secrets. We promise something simpler: a fast, well built VPN and a straight answer to every question.
Why we exist
A VPN is a useful tool. It protects your traffic on public Wi-Fi, hides your IP address from the websites you visit, and keeps your internet provider from seeing every site you go to. If you are new to all this, our plain English guide to VPNs is a good place to start. Those are real benefits that matter to real people every day.
But somewhere along the way, VPN marketing got out of hand. Providers promise total anonymity, claim they store nothing at all, and run fear campaigns about hackers around every corner. We think people deserve better. You should know exactly what a VPN does, what it does not do, and exactly what data the company behind it keeps.
So that is what vpn.now is: a focused VPN service built on one modern VPN protocol, with a public list of every piece of data we store, plain language policies, and a free plan with no tricks.
What we believe
Four ideas shape every decision we make about the product and the policies.
Honest claims only
We will never claim "no logs" while quietly keeping logs, or promise anonymity no VPN can deliver. If we cannot prove a claim, we do not make it. Read the proof on our transparency page.
Collect less data
The best way to protect your data is to not have it. We store the minimum needed to run accounts and billing, and nothing about what you do online. See exactly how in our security overview.
One protocol, done well
We build on one modern VPN protocol only. It is fast, modern, and small enough to review. Doing one protocol well beats doing several poorly. Learn more in our guide to VPN protocols.
Free, with no catch
vpn.now is free, with unlimited data and unlimited devices. We do not sell data, inject ads, or hide fees. Speed is capped at up to 10 Mbps to keep it free for everyone. See what we keep on our transparency page.
What we have built
vpn.now is more than one app. Pick the tool that fits how you use the internet.
Native apps
One click connection on Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS. Set up in minutes, no manual needed.
Browser extensions
A lightweight encrypted proxy for Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. It protects your browser traffic without touching the rest of your device.
Free web proxy
No download and no account. Open a site through our browser based proxy to hide your IP for quick tasks.
A real free plan
A genuine free service with no time limit. Unlimited data, unlimited devices, and no card needed. Speed is up to 10 Mbps.
Modern encryption everywhere
Every connection uses our VPN protocol with modern encryption. There is no weaker fallback mode to worry about.
Keys you control
Your private key is made on your device and never stored on our servers. We keep only the public key.
How we are different
Most VPN companies sell a feeling. We would rather show you the facts and let you decide. That changes how we write, what we collect, and how we make money.
We publish a complete list of every piece of data we store. We refuse the claims the rest of the industry leans on. And we run the service ourselves and keep it free, so our interests line up with yours.
Read the transparency report to check us against this promise.

How the free plan works
vpn.now is free, with unlimited data and unlimited devices. We do not sell data and we do not inject ads. To keep the service free for everyone, speed is capped at up to 10 Mbps, which is enough for safer browsing, email, and most everyday tasks.
Where we are headed
We are building native app features like a kill switch, two factor authentication for accounts, our own DNS resolvers, and an independent audit of the claims on our transparency page. We publish progress honestly, including what is not done yet.
