Best 5 Free VPN Softwares

By Young | Published: November 16, 2010

Comparing to proxy softwares, VPN services are easier to use, since they are workable for the whole computer system and you don’t need to set the browser HTTP proxy.

Among these 3 free VPN services, ItHidden seems not offering free usage any more, and the other two sometimes are hard to connect, so I think it is necessary to find some more free VPNs.

Different from these 3 free VPN services mentioned, below 5 free VPN softwares require downloading and installation.

1. ProXPN

free vpn software proxpn

The VPN software ProXPN is workable for Windows and Mac computers.

Create a ProXPN account, download, install and run the software, then you can connect the VPN service with your username and password.

Free accounts are rate-limited to 1000 kbps, and do not include PPTP VPN access.

2. SecurityKiss

Free VPN Softwares securitykiss

The VPN software SecurityKiss works for Windows only, but brings you 300MB of data transfer per day for free.

No registration is required, just download and install the SecurityKiss software, then run and connect it. If the connection fails, you can try to select another VPN server.

3. Hotspot Shield

free vpn software hotspot shield

Hotspot Shield offers a free VPN solution with unlimited bandwidth for Windows and Mac.

Just download and install the software, then you can run and connect the VPN service. There will be ads on the top of the webpages you visit.

Besides English, French and Chinese, Hotspot Shield also supports Arabic, Persian, Russian and Vietnamese.

4. ExpatShield

free vpn software expat shield

Like Hotspot Shield, ExpatShield is also a free VPN software offers unlimited bandwidth with ads and supports multiple languages.

But ExpatShield is only workable for Windows computer system.

5. Loki VPN Client

Free VPN Softwares Luki VPN Client

Loki VPN Client is a free VPN software of Loki Network Project, it is workable for Windows computer only, but offers unlimited data traffic with a 30-minute connection limit per time.

You just need to download and install the software, then run and connect it, no registration needed, but sometimes it maybe fail to connect the VPN server, and the speed is a little slow.

Among the above 5 free VPN softwares, I prefer to use ProXPN and SecurityKiss, how about you? Which ones are your favorite? Or do you have any other free VPN softwares to unblock the internet censorship and GFW? Share with us by adding a comment.

All these vpn"s that are listed above, do they in any way have the ability to keep me from getting traced back to my real ip address when I am in the virtual world surfing the web?

Young moderator

@wordzz Yes, you will be anonymous when using those free vpn services.

chaseinrec

I like https://www.privatetunnel.com. Their speeds are good and I can goto Facebook.

hend_k

Unfortunately these websites are blocked in China. For SecurityKISS you can use the secret mirror website: http://109.235.50.177

I emailed them to check if this is a mirror approved by them and they confirmed so it seems safe but you can email them as well.

I was able to download the program using that link.

Young moderator

javad

thank you Mr.young for this great post
havent you wondered why most of your visitors are iranian?
I guess the diffrence among iranians & others is that we use vpn to open ordinary websites which are filtered but you use it ensure that you are safe!
any ways ive written some advice to my persian friends down here & told them not to ask you to send them vpn by email
سلام به همه ایرونیاش
این آقا چند دفعه گفته که نمیتونه برا کسی وی پی ان بفرسته هرکی دیگه جاش بود خسته شده بود انقدر گفته نمیتونه
برا دانلود وی پی ان باید برید به یکی از سایت هایی که معرفی کرده اونجا دانلود کنید

Young

@javad Thanks for your comment to ask people not to ask me for VPN, since all the free VPN services and other anti-censorship tools I have known have been listed in this post: http://freenuts.com/100-free-tools-for-you-to-access-blocked-sites/

By the way, I use VPN in China to get access to those blocked sites, just as what you do, both Iran and China have internet censorship, which I hate very much.

dave

since i cant make provpn work, can you recommend a free vpn that doesnt time out when you download, or what do you think is the best free vpn. thank you.

SahandSoltanieh

you can use :

superfreevpn.com

dave

provpn was compatible with bittorrent client for one year. suddenly bittorrent client cannot connect when provpn is connected. thank you.

dave

i have used provpn for 1 year with no problems. now i cannot connect through my bittorrent client when provpn is connected. i have not made any changes and i have reloaded provpn but i still have the same problem. can you give me any ideas for a solution. everything is working when i have provpn disconnected. thank you.

Young

@dave Did you mean that ProVPN was NOT compatible with Bittorrent client? If yes, you can disable proVPN when using the Bittorrent client, and run proVPN again when the Bittorrent client is closed.

Young

@preses No, no email will be sent to u after the installation of any of the 5 VPN, which you don't need email to use.

Rudster

hi young. thanks for providing those lists for us. i have registered with proxpn and it seems to be working when i use it with browser (google) but somehow i can't access my emails now. also i noticed my utorrent stops working as well. but as soon as i turned off the proxpn, my emails and utorrent is working again. can you shed some light for me please ? thanks.

Young

@Rudster It may be that the internet speed is too slow for the proXPN to work, you can try it in a different time.

kami

Hi mr young
dear young please send me free vpn to the mail
