What the free plan is good for
The free plan is a complete VPN, not a demo. Here is where it earns its keep.
Safer public Wi-Fi
Hotel, airport, and cafe networks are easy places for strangers to watch traffic. The free plan encrypts your connection before it touches the network. Learn more about using a VPN on public Wi-Fi.
Hide your IP address
Websites see the address of our server instead of your home connection. That removes one signal trackers use to profile you. Our guide explains what a VPN hides and what it does not.
Real encryption, not a sample
Every account uses a modern VPN protocol on our full server network. There is no weaker tier.
Why is vpn.now free?
Running VPN servers costs real money. Most free VPNs cover that cost with ads or by selling usage data, which defeats the point of using a VPN at all.
We take a different path. We never store browsing activity, DNS queries, or traffic contents for anyone, and our transparency page lists every piece of data we keep.
To keep the service free for everyone, speed is capped at up to 10 Mbps. That is enough for safer browsing, email, and most everyday tasks.
What you get, in plain terms
One free account covers everything. There is no paid tier and nothing held back.
- Unlimited data
- Unlimited devices at the same time
- Speed up to 10 Mbps
- Modern VPN protocol and our full server network
- No ads, no payment details
Is a free VPN safe to use?
It depends entirely on who runs it. A free VPN routes all your traffic through someone else's servers, so the honest question is how that company pays for those servers. Some free VPNs cover the cost by logging what you do and selling it, or by injecting ads into your traffic. That turns the tool against the person using it.
A free VPN is safe when the company is clear about how it stays funded and what it stores. vpn.now is paid for by our other projects, not by your data. We never store your browsing activity, DNS queries, or traffic contents, and our transparency page lists everything we do keep. Before you trust any free VPN, read our guide on how to read a VPN logging policy and our checklist for choosing a VPN.
If you only need to cover a single browser tab for a quick task, our free web proxy works with no account at all. For full protection across every app on a device, the free plan with the vpn.now apps is the better fit.
vpn.now free vs a typical free VPN
Most free VPNs come with a catch. Here is the honest comparison.
| vpn.now free | Typical free VPN | |
|---|---|---|
| Data limit | Unlimited | Often a few GB per month |
| Devices at once | Unlimited | Usually one |
| Ads in your traffic | None | Common |
| Browsing activity stored | Never | Often sold to fund the service |
| Encryption | Modern protocol, no weaker tier | Varies, sometimes dated |
| Card required | No | Sometimes, for a free trial |
The one real limit is speed, capped at up to 10 Mbps. Data and devices remain unlimited. See exactly what we store on the transparency page.
Free VPN questions, answered straight
Is the vpn.now free plan really free?
Yes. You create an account with an email address and a password. We never ask for a card number, and the free plan does not expire. Spare capacity from our other projects funds the network, so we do not need ads or data sales.
What is the catch with the free plan?
The limit is simple: connection speed is capped at up to 10 Mbps. You still get unlimited data, unlimited devices, the same encryption, and the full server network.
How fast is the free plan?
Connections are capped at up to 10 Mbps. Your actual speed also depends on your internet connection, distance to the server, and how busy that server is.
Do you show ads or sell data on the free plan?
No. There are no ads in vpn.now, and we never store browsing activity, DNS queries, or traffic contents. Our transparency page lists every piece of data we keep.
How many devices can I connect?
There is no device limit. Add each phone, computer, or tablet to your account and connect them at the same time.
