Free VPN by Free VPN .org™ Reviews

Update; They tick away your “earned” time even when you aren’t using FreeVPN (disconnected and closed)... how does that make any sense?!?!!! It would seem to me they’re getting paid when you watch the ads, so why aren’t we getting the time as advertised for the time we put in to get them paid!

Original; They say unlimited, but I don’t see anywhere that they tell you that you will need to watch ads to gain vpn time... so here’s your heads up. It seems to work fine though, and they do need to get paid; so I’m giving it 4 stars. Just know that you’ll need to spend a little bit of time to “earn” vpn time. I definitely plan a little ahead so I have time when needed, watch some ads and get a bit of a reserve so it’s immediately available when needed. I am still new to FreeVPN though, so we’ll see how this works out over time.

I used FreeVPN for a while. I really enjoyed the ability to choose other regions (limited options) for free. This allowed me to use an IP address that was out of my state or even another country. Now that option seems to only be available with a subscription. Not sure when that change happened, but it seems pointless to use the free version if it only lets me choose different IP's within my own city. I tried choosing an alternate IP multiple times, and I keep getting the city I am in. For those willing to pay for the subscription, FreeVPN is easy to use with plenty of options. I'm just bummed the free version is so limited now.

I initially downloaded so I could attend a game event in a different country. The first thing I noticed is that it was incredibly slow. Then it has made my internet icon disappear. I turned off the vpn so my internet would get faster. Slow as before and my icon is still gone. Then I deleted the whole app and even restarted my phone. While so far my internet still somewhat works, it is much slower than before compared to my family members phone with the same model connected to the same internet, and their phone is older by a year. Still no icon, and I still have this crappy problem. Absolutely terrible. I’m issuing data rn to type this review.
Edit: somehow it got fixed by using my data (I’m kinda salty about having to do that) redone loading and then reconnecting the vpn to my country as my brother suggested. Somehow it turned it normal. This is prolly some kind of weird ahs bug. Pls fix it. On the good side, I’ll upgrade this to 3 stars, because of the stupid bug it gets a minus. Anyway, works fine now.

Even though this is supposed to be a free VPN in exchange for watching ads. I watch about 12 ads every 24 hours in exchange for 24 hours of free VPN service. But when you actually do the time and he’s a timer and all the stuff you realize that they are actually stealing minutes from you every single hour and so realistically you actually don’t get 24 hours. I mean at least you get this for free which is better than most but half the time the VPN is very slow or very quick you never know. Sometimes it will turn off while I’ve been running it within an hour or sometimes if I don’t even look at it it’ll stay running even if I have disconnected.
Definitely more bugs in the system than good but at least it is free considering. But I have been looking into plenty of other services because this one has been very disappointing to an extent. Again don’t forget you’re watching free ads for free VPN service so I guess you get what you get

This is a wonderful app, I use it most of the time and I have no issues. However, I have a feeling that hackers are piggybacking off this vpn network from time to time. Occasionally my network will slow, up the most blatant breech of privacy I had was when my Mortal Kombat X data was stolen. I do not blame the company for this in any way, but it was too coincidental that after using and deleting FreeVPN, my data on that game was stolen. This is a great app, and I highly recommend using it, and unless you just so happen to be on when one of those piggybackers are breaching the network, your data is usually safe. Downloading FreeVPN is kind of a gamble, but the odds are usually in your favor. If I had to suggest something for FreeVPN and it's developers, I would suggest they update their firewall protection more often, to keep those hackers out.

I’ve used many vpns on my schools WiFi that have not worked and I have relied on this one for over a year. Never had any problems and it’s been a great app. The only issue is the problems I’ve been having with recent updates. Before, FreeVPN constantly crashed, so I had to go into settings to turn it off and then try again. Sometimes ads wouldn’t work for me so I wasn’t able to get the full amount of time. With the most recent update I don’t even know if it crashes, because I can’t get it to connect, because no ads are showing up for me. Every time I click an ad option it says “swipe left to go to next ad.” It swipes but nothing happens. I’m unimpressed with FreeVPN and hope measures are taken to improve this update. It should not have been released with the current state its in

I’ve been using FreeVPN and I noticed something that’s kinda worrying.
So, I watch ads and I get my minutes and I make sure to turn off the VPN so that I can
”save” my minutes for when I actually turn the VPN on. However, when I have something for example,1 hour of time left, I turn off the VPN exit out FreeVPN and go on with my day. But then after a while, I go back to FreeVPN , it shows I only have 8 minutes left. That’s a problem, there are other apps that has the ads system and they don’t waste the time when your not using it. That reason I don’t use those apps is because they don’t work on iOS and this is FreeVPN I found where this works for iPhone.

If this is a bug, please fix it and then I can change it to a full 5 star!!

by Bewilderin

In full honesty, this VPN has done it's job. It accesses many different applications that would usually be blocked by others, it runs easily and without hassle, making it a quick process to turn off, and turn back on again. The ads aren't too disruptive, which is a big plus in my books. However, the amount of time the VPN remains on is not a guarantee. From my experience, even if I do watch advertisements to get ad free minutes (Which is a good way to gain income, while also making ads less of something to worry about) the VPN will still shut off at random times. This is especially annoying if you enjoy mobile games, such as Fortnite, Clash of Clans, etc. But other than that, if you're looking for a VPN to use, this one would be it.

by Mr. Morvin

This free VPN has saved me countless times, and is very nice and easy to use, just view some ads for your appropriate time you need, and there’s no extra cost :) I highly recommend this free VPN to download if you’re going to some public wifi space, and don’t want to use your hot spot, this could be very useful in the airport while waiting. :) The only tricky part is closing the different ads, which isn’t too much of a problem since you still can close the ads pretty well. Thanks to whoever made FreeVPN for us people that don’t have money to get the fancy vpns for just an hour or 2.

by Christian J Dye

I never write reviews… However, I do use a VPN for almost everything. I have been a long time subscriber of P.I.A. and my monthly subscription was up for renewal when I saw this. I thought, “what do I have to lose in trying it?” And was I happily surprised. The ads to get a full 24hrs are not overbearing or cumbersome and worth watching. The price for full access is also LESS then what I was paying. If these features stay the same, I can’t see myself ever using another VPN service. I applaud the developers and thought behind FreeVPN. Very well done.

by ForestCamoer

This VPN is very different from any other app available. The most obvious upside of this VPN is that it’s free, which could give the potential user questions on how useful this VPN could really be, being free and all. These prejudice views are quickly shot down after opening FreeVPN . The user is greeted with a wonderful tutorial on how to use a VPN. This VPN uses a very unique system where you can watch ads for VPN time. This is honestly a revolutionary idea, since the creator(s) get no money from people buying FreeVPN (because it’s free,) but they do still get ad revenue. I personally have no idea how expensive it is to run a VPN, but hopefully the creator(s) are getting enough money from ads to keep FreeVPN free. You can also get a paid version where you get unlimited time on the VPN, no ads, and an ad blocker all in one package. My only drawback on this site is that you don’t have any indication that it’s active. And when you log back into FreeVPN , it says it’s reconnecting, something that I’m sure is a visual glitch that the creator(s) can fix in a heartbeat. Otherwise, and exceptional VPN, better than any other free VPN.

This is by far the best VPN app. You can chose if you want to go premium or just stick with the basic free. I’ve searched for a VPN were I could get it free and finally found one. It’s really easy to use and everything you need is right there when you open FreeVPN . I’ll definitely be sticking with this VPN. Thank you to the creator for making this. I appreciate that you didn’t make it like the others where as soon as FreeVPN opens, you have to subscribe. It’s nice that you added a free version of it too and that we get a 7 day free trial. Thank you so much.

by Undergroundguy

For many minutes i have been searching for VPNs that work really well, and all the VPNs i have come across have failed, until i found this. This is an amazing VPN and works well and fast. It gives you a 3 day premium trial when you first get it. Then, you have to watch ads for VPN time. The reason they use ads is because they dont sell your data at all, and since the free version works well, you may not have to switch to premium, although premium gives more benefits. If the creators of this VPN are reading this, I would like to thank you for giving me (and others) a fast working VPN.

this app IS SO TRUSTWORTHY! In 2 to 4 minutes you can get free full VPN for 24 hours by watching 12 quick ads, & you should do not trust Ecosia being built off the Microsoft platform, Brave built off chromium, or Mozilla's Firefox which is more microsoft connection which all limit almost every website's functionality and have algorithms in place to kick off vpn to swipe your info...this app is the ONLY vpn that works smoothly 99% of the time with the DuckDuckGo browser when you have a full block on cookies. If you want a VPN you can trust and that WORKS when you have full iphone privacy settings engaged, this app IS AWSOME FOR PROTECTION & works best with DuckDuckGo browser.... I have reset my privacy report on my iPhone then checked back in later on Free VPN a minimum of 50 times to keep them honest and they have never failed me yet in protecting my data and making sure my privacy is protected. I never Usually leave reviews but I have to in this scenario because free VPN is phenomenal and if you don't want to watch the ads then for only 70 bucks per year you can have it 24/7 without ads, & with a couple clicks you can mix up your IP address at any time. THANK YOU this app👍👏👏👏👏

by Jonah_NJJ

I was trying to watch Spider-Man: homecoming and it wasn’t on Netflix in the USA. The way that the free trial works is awesome! You don’t have to give your card info if you just want the free trial. I wasn’t able to watch Spider-Man, but that’s just because they took it off of Netflix a while ago and I didn’t know, so that’s not the VPN’s fault. I tried out an IP address tester and sure enough, the VPN was actually working as advertised! It’s not on for me right now, because I wanna save my free trial time for the future, but if I had the full version, I wouldn’t be opposed to keeping it on most of the time because the loading speeds aren’t really affected much.

by 123life

I got this VPN because it says it is free if you choose to stay with free version with ads. So I downloaded and from the beginning it was working, of course with ads. Then after a few days it started to act up - constantly and on its own connecting then disconnecting and connecting…. I started to think that someone has been turning it on and off! Not to mention that my internet speed became increasingly slow and glitchy. So I decided to delete FreeVPN and reinstall it back. When I did it would not even allow me to configure it on my device, which makes me realize that IT IS NOT FREE VPN! STOP THE LIES THAT IT IS FREE TO ALLURE SUBSCRIBERS! IF IT IS FREE THEN PROVIDE IT FOR FREE!

by Joeczyk

I recently downloaded FreeVPN for free and I can say it is running perfectly on my iPhone, I love the fact that it’s free but watching videos can be a little time consuming to get more free VPN time so after my time runs out I will probably upgrade to the pro version and pay the 2.99 a month, The free version appears to be a little slow at times loading Apps or updating apps even updating software so I hope pro Version will run faster, The fact that it gives me peace of mind that my Data is safe and secure from potential hackers, thank you developers for this amazing app keep up with the good work. anybody who complains about paying 2.99 a month to upgrade is just ridiculous

by Java Kid

This VPN is great, and has the opportunity to expand. I can honestly say I haven't seen any adds, and all of my data and traffic is secure. No one can see my IP address either. They kept their word. Other vpns tend to be too difficult. This one finds u one without you having to do it manually. And it's the closest ones. And for the people that said this app wasn't clear about you having to pay 2.99 a month after the intitial cost if you upgrade to pro and wanna stay ad less. It actually does say that before u upgrade. People are stupid. Some people. But they don't pay attention to what FreeVPN is telling them. And I haven't seen any adds. I'm up to a week of being Ad less just for watching a 10 sec video. And I honestly have not see one.

by Qwerjsiedj

This is kinda long: FreeVPN is awesome and I enjoy it very much. Why? Because you can literally get 24 hours only by watching 12 ads! It works so well, and in school, all the blocked online games…magically unblocked, I just love how this is! ONE thing I do not like about it is I got a warning on asphalt 9, saying I was banned for hacking, although I did nothing. This might of been a coincidence. It also said I lost all my progress, but for some reason I kept my progress so I was quite confused. Back to the good stuff, this VPN is for real FREE and so simple to use, I just hope the developers of this game are getting paid enough, because the VPN is free, although it’s awesome to have a legit FREE VPN for me to use. Even though it’s free, don’t forget to watch ads because the developers get paid from them, and in return you get more hours of VPN time. Best VPN ever!

I was looking for a temporary replacement for ProtonVPN until I could afford to subscribe to their premium tier. I have to say I will probably stick with this one, as I appreciate the developers’ honesty and interaction with their users. I really love their “reward based” (my words) business model; yes you can use this for free BUT if you want to use it a little more, you can CHOOSE to support them monetarily by spending a little bit of your time sitting through ads. Barring that, you can also choose to outright subscribe. What an awesome idea that I wish more developers and services offered.

I have not had any issues yet and the connection times seem to always be relatively quick. Public service announcement: just because you’re using this, or any VPN, does not mean you are 100% hidden. Always be aware of what your local connection gateway is, especially if WiFi. Most of the time, a VPN only covers the connection to a point outside the local network, so your packets to and from the gateway (router, what have you) may not be encrypted. However, for the vast majority of people, this usually isn’t a concern :)

Thanks devs! Love your product.

by Chrisjohnjarvisridiculous

I used to use this all the time in China and elsewhere around the world but it no longer works. I click to watch an ad to gain more time, it loads 15min of time and starts the countdown, I then click the red button that says connect and it says unblocking your network, wait 150 seconds to connect. After the that period to connect, the red button should turn green but it goes back to red. I click the red button that says connect and it says (sound familiar?...try, fail, repeat) unblocking your network wait 150 seconds, meanwhile the time is still counting down and soon is under 8min.

Previously I clicked the red connect button and after a short bit it connected. It never mentioned the 150 seconds thing to unblock the network or whatever. FreeVPN is junk now, look elsewhere.

by Gooner_Lopez

First of all, I enjoyed the this app version of FreeVPN with ads. It always worked quickly and well. I got tired of the ads so I decided to spend the $2.99 for the pro version to avoid the ads. This worked really well also until this week when it said I needed to subscribe at $2.99 month to continue the ad free app. Nowhere did it state that the ad free version required a monthly subscription. $2.99 for the paid app is not a lot of money but I never would have bought it had I known it required an ongoing subscription.

by ScottHavior

So far I have loved FreeVPN, there’s nothing you really have to do to use it, you download it; allow it to connect a VPN; turn on VPN and it works.
Granted you have a limited time span to use it. Meaning you start off with like 90 hours or VPN. You can watch ads and add 30 more minutes or up to 120 minutes. The thing I don’t like is how even when you are not using the VPN on FreeVPN , it still counts down the time on which you can use the VPN.

I’ve only used it for about 3 hours total and I went from 110 hours of free VPN to 11 hours. That’s the only thing I don’t really like.

by CasuallyEpic

First off, i like the actual VPN part of FreeVPN . it works great and it unblocks pretty much everything. The part that im really not liking about it is the 'Saving Battery. Open to reconnect to VPN' part. really? i use many other VPNs and i know for a fact that they're just trying to get me to watch more ads so they can get more money. i understand that you have to advertise stuff, and i get that everytime i first open FreeVPN . but the saving battery stuff needs to go. i had 87% battery, and it popped up. i reconnected and about 5 minutes later, it came up again. I HAD 85% BATTERY.. come on now.

by NykKnack

The vpn works well, keeps me hidden on the web. Keeps my info safe. But to watch ads for free time using the vpn? While the concept is good, the execution of the action is impossible while the vpn is active because it’s also an adblocker, but even so when it’s not active most of the ads crash FreeVPN or freeze, forcing you to close FreeVPN and restart your ad watching spree of ten when you got through seven of them three times already to get scammed out of the all day free option.

by COTY THE ASSET

FreeVPN helped me so much!!! I work 12 hour days and nights and FreeVPN allows me to play mobile legends even though they blocked playing games over the server. My boss doesn’t care because we are only needed on call we just couldn’t ever figure out why we couldn’t play games . With FreeVPN being loaded i now get more work done because im happy to be here . Thank you so much for not killing us on ads and giving us plenty of time by watching videos ! It was fast to earn time. Once again thank you guys !!!!!!!!!

by Pooooooooooooioooooo

It’s just like all the other free VPNs, except the catch is: there’s no catch! All you have to do is watch five short advertisements per day. I use this because my parents block my phone from the WiFi at night. It makes it to where they can’t block me because they can’t detect me. It overall has worked great. The only issue I have had is that it slows down my connection if my server region is too far away from where I really am. But it’s easily avoidable by choosing a country that is close by, but not where I live.

by Leslie1114

In all honestly this is one of the best VPN apps, it’s fast, free, secure, and easy to connect. The internet is fast but I’m not so sure about how secure it is. They could fix that maybe (if it isn’t.) my only concern is the ads. I don’t mind them since it’s only once for every time you connect and it takes like 10 seconds but if there could be a feature for a one time payment for no ads I’d be willing to pay around $5, if not, that’s totally fine! But overall it’s a great app (:

by Briannamichellle

I used to have Onavo protect for years because I live out of the USA, in the Caribbean so Netflix especially limits options for what’s available to watch and so I love having a VPN that allows me to watch the shows I like. After searching for so many apps that were free and actually worked, this was the first and only one and it works amazing. Fast connection and doesn’t interfere with my WiFi at all. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great vpn without spending money on one.

by Rakeshpgopal1989

Got me connected instantly, just install and tap the connect button and you're ready to go.
No registration was required, no personal data was taken, completely anonymous and secure to use. I'd highly recommend FreeVPN, if you are serious about your privacy, security and being anonymous on the Internet. It's like nobody can even track you by your IP address if you use FreeVPN.
