Free and trial: who pays for free
Nothing with servers behind it is free to run. Here is how each free offer is paid for, including ours.
Somebody always pays. Look closely at any free VPN and you find the income: adverts in the app, a small monthly allowance designed to run out, a crowded sampler tier, or the quiet sale of what you do online. A trial that asks for a card first is a subscription waiting to start. Our version is simple: a free VPN trial of five days with no card and no account, and then the key stops. If you want to try VPN free for longer than that, a capped tier from a known company is the honest choice, and these guides show how to pick one.

Q&A about free
Q.Is there a truly free VPN?
A.Some cost no money. All of them are paid for somehow: ads, caps, upsell or data. The safe ones tell you which.
Q.Do I need a card for the free VPN trial?
A.No. The bot gives you a working key without asking for payment details. Nothing can be charged later.
Q.What happens after five days?
A.The key stops. If you want to continue, you pick a term in the bot. If you do nothing, nothing happens.
Q.Is the trial slower or limited?
A.No. Trial keys and paid keys are identical: six locations, five devices, full speed.
Q.Can I take the trial twice?
A.One trial per person. It is there to test the service, not to replace a plan.
Q.Why not offer a permanent free plan?
A.Because it would have to be funded by ads, data or a worse service. We do not want to run any of those.
5 days on us.
If it does not hold up on your own connection, you have lost nothing. That is what the free days are for.
