Free VPN is just what it sounds: It allows users access to a free Virtual Private Network. However, as you would imagine for such a service, Free VPN comes with some drawbacks.

Free VPN is available for Android devices. In order to use it, you have to download the app, then run it. Once you're in, it provides all of the standard protections of a VPN. This enables you to use the app without being traced, leaving a history, or loading your internet cache with a variety of wasted files and space - something that can be particularly important on a mobile device! The encryption contained within this app can protect sensitive financial information, ensuring that you can spend freely, even if connected to an otherwise unsecured network.

Under normal circumstances, you may have your own VPN to use. However, this app can be extremely useful if you suddenly become paranoid about security issues, like if you are entering financial data on a personal network. Other reviewers have also noted that the manner in which this program hides your IP address can allow you to get region blocks of some data, like not being able to watch certain clips on Netflix or YouTube.

Thankfully, it has also been noted that the app's interface is easy to use. This makes the app perfect for newbies to the VPN field. Furthermore, the app allows for fast connection to a VPN service. You don't have to preregister, fill out a profile, or give a credit card. You just download the app, click on it, and get started.

Of course, there are some concerns with this app. Like many VPNs, the use of Free VPN can slow your browsing experience. However, this comes with many VPNs and is par for the course for quite a few of these services. However, there is good news, as the app is constantly adding new servers in different locations. As such, if you run into speed difficulties, you may be able to switch to a faster server.

More significant is that some users noted that using the app, and switching it on or off, can be a challenge. This is a real problem, as you may need to switch the VPN off in order to access certain sites.

This app is completely free. There are advertisements that will display, and these can get annoying, but this can be a small price to pay for such a useful service that comes at no charge.

It's also worth noting that this app has been extensively downloaded and reviewed by users. It has over 72,000 reviews and averages 4.3 stars on these reviews. This obviously demonstrates that consumers are very satisfied with the program.
