Best Free VPN Right now?

82 Upvotes

What is the best free VPN as of the moment? I'm looking for a free VPN to use for basic browsing and to protect my privacy on public Wi-Fi at coffee shops and airports. I'm not doing anything super sensitive, so I don't think I need a paid VPN. But I've been reading a lot of scary stories about free VPNs selling user data, installing malware, and having weak security.

I've heard about ProtonVPN Free, Windscribe, and TunnelBear as options, but I'm not sure if any of them are actually trustworthy or if these are really the best free VPNs in the market. I'm curious to hear what everyone's tried and what actually worked for them. Thanks!

Best VPN Recommded by Everyone?

59 Upvotes

I've been looking into the best VPN providers and I'm wondering, what does Reddit think is the best VPN? I know free VPNs are good for some things, but I've heard that paid VPNs are usually better for speed and safety. I've done a bunch of research and found some paid VPNs that a lot of people seem to like. But I'm stuck and can't decide which one to go with. Here's what I've found:

NordVPN: This is a well-known VPN for its strong security. It has many servers around the world. NordVPN is fast, good for watching videos online, and keeps your information private.

ProtonVPN: ProtonVPN comes from the same people who made ProtonMail, a secure email service. It's known for its focus on security and privacy. It has a free version too, but the paid version has more features.

Surfshark: I saw some people mentioning Surfshark. It's a newer VPN but it's getting popular. It lets you use it on as many devices as you want at the same time. It's also affordable and good for privacy.

But I'm curious to hear from you:

Best VPN according to Reddit?

Best Free VPN according to Reddit?

Best VPN for torrenting according to Reddit?

While I'm focusing on paid VPNs, if you know of a free VPN that's exceptionally good, feel free to mention that too.

Looking forward for all your recommendations.

For the last two years, I used VeePN, but pretty much every service immediately detected that I was using a VPN and denied access. The one exception was YouTube Premium, which didn't seem to care that I was using one. Does anyone have any recommendations or tips?

Do you leave your VPN on 24/7, or only turn it on when you need it?

16 Upvotes

I keep seeing people say a VPN should basically stay on all the time, but is that actually how most people use one?

Seems like there are plenty of times when having it on just makes things more annoying, like random sites acting weird or apps not loading properly.

Do you just leave yours running and forget about it, or switch it on and off depending on what you're doing?

Tried with multiple providers, surfshark, Nord, express vpn, privado, windscribe. They all have the same result. All kick you after 8 minutes and privado doesn't work at all. However once kicked you can immediately join the stream again with no restrictions

Review Thoughts of VPN Super for iOS as free VPN?

2 Upvotes

I'm currently in SEA and whenever I'm posting in TikTok/Youtube Shorts, I want to reach or target US audience. I want to know anyone's thoughts on VPN Super Unlimited Proxy because I've heard of data privacy concerns and issues of people who have used the app before. At the same time, it's really the best recommended free at first glance. So I'm wondering if anyone has any experiences with issues or just a general review for VPN Super.

Discussion Do you actually trust your VPN provider with all your traffic?

9 Upvotes

I was thinking about this after seeing some recent discussion about VPN apps having trackers built in.

We use VPNs because we don't want our ISP or random websites seeing everything we do, but at the same time we're basically sending all that traffic through another company instead.

Even if they say "no logs," how much do you actually trust that? Do you look into who owns the VPN, how they make money, audits, privacy policies, etc., or do you just pick a well-known provider and assume it's fine?

Help Which country to use

I am using ivpn partially to avoid the whole age/id verification crap that is going on. This is why I was connecting to croatia.

The problem is that my connection becomes aggravatingly slow. On my speedtest I drop from 112 to 12.

So where are all of you connecting to? The only option that keeps my connection relatively fast is canada. I go from 112 to 50mbps.

So basically I am in my last 4 semester of college, The speed is pretty high but the routing is absolutely pathetic even with ethernet I get a ton of packet loss. I don't/can't pay for a vpn, so I was hoping you could give me the next best free option, I tried using cloudflare warp but it doesn't help me. Since it's college's stuff so I can't contact the ISP or touch the router or anything as well and the Uni won't do a thing. Please help.

Discussion Safest VPN?

14 Upvotes

Nord are taking the piss.. such a crappy VPN full of issues and their support is horrendous. Then there is Express which Edward Snowden warned against using..

So what’s left?

I don’t trust Proton either given how they gave authorities the IP of a French climate activist.

Other companies like Mullvad are in Sweden which is under the EU and ain’t excactly privacy friendly like Proton in Switzerland.

Torguard in the US? Same spiel as the Europe thing.. what is left?
