These are nominally slower than the paid-for endpoints (but often aren’t in practice) and lack extra features such as video streaming support.
ProtonVPN’s free tier offers unlimited data throughput, but only via three endpoint locations (in the US, Netherlands and Japan). A paid-for subscription costs $9/£6.92 per month or $49/£37.69 per year, and gives you access to endpoints in 65 countries. Free users get access to locations in 11 countries – not including any of the Windflix video streaming endpoints. Windscribe’s free tier gets you 10GB of VPN traffic every month. Read More.ProtonVPN and Windscribe regularly appear in both our best VPNs list and our best free VPN list, with both offering industry-leading free services and outstanding paid-for subscriptions.īut which is the best VPN for your needs? Here’s everything you need to know. Overall: I can see why some privacy and security journalists offer ProtonMail as one way of reaching them! I'm happy to sacrifice a little flexibility in choosing which country (which is also helpful since in the US, you don't really have blocked sites anyways, and screwing around with country messes up Google search language results), if it means I can know my data is safe in Swiss servers.
Other free VPNs like the one in Opera Developer let you select which continent to be routed to, but it's questionable where those VPN servers are and how secure your data is.
I also like how ProtonMail, on Windows desktop at least, lets you decide if you want all your traffic routed through its servers or just some.Ĭons: The free tier isn't flexible enough to really select where your spoofed location is - it seems to default to other places in your country. Pros: I got ProtonMail's VPN to better protect myself online, and I'm happy to say that unlike some of the other free VPN solutions out there, ProtonMail actually works! I tried looking up my IP address before and after, and the geolocation feature definitely works.
