<\/p>\nThe best free VPN from our testing is PrivadoVPN Free. It allows every kind of VPN usage – including browsing, torrenting and streaming – and it’s trustworthy and fast too.<\/p>\n
PrivadoVPN’s biggest competitor is Proton VPN. It has unlimited data and is the best choice if privacy and security are your top concern – but it’s not useful for streaming.<\/p>\n
We don’t recommend many others because, unfortunately, most free VPNs are slow, buggy, and downright harmful.<\/p>\n
Even the best free VPNs have poor or no streaming support, data caps, and often limited features. Instead, we recommend using a paid VPN.<\/p>\n
We rate NordVPN as the best VPN, but you can try our number two choice Surfshark for free. It’s one of the only top-tier VPNs with a 7-day free trial. We think it’s the best cheap VPN available anywhere.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Try Surfshark<\/strong> FREE for 7 days<\/strong> It also comes with a huge set of features that the free VPNs can’t match, including an ad-blocking suite, and an alternative ID system which stops your email addresses getting spammed. It’s also the fastest VPN we’ve benchmarked.

Read our PrivadoVPN Free review for more info.<\/p>\n Proton VPN<\/strong> is a better choice if privacy is your top priority – it’s fully audited, and has more advanced settings to play with. However, you can’t manually choose which server you connect to, and the apps are a little more complex. Read our Proton VPN Free review for more info.<\/p>\n Windscribe<\/strong> combines many of PrivadoVPN and Proton VPN’s strengths: some streaming power, good privacy, plenty of servers. You can use it on all your devices and it’s the most feature-packed but it’s trickier to use than both of the above, and has a 10 GB data limit. First time VPN users should pick from the other two.

PrivadoVPN Free is the best free VPN, but it’s not a permanent solution because of its monthly data cap. Surfshark comes with unlimited use, on all your devices. It’s excellent for unblocking streaming services and protecting yourself while torrenting.<\/p>\n\n
