This free VPN protects your online privacy and unlocks streaming sites
TL;DR: As of July 22, you can subscribe to ProtonVPN for free or upgrade for £3.45 per month.
We're pretty experienced when it comes to comparing VPNs, and we generally don't like to recommend free services. We know it's tempting, but free VPNs can let you down with poor connection speeds, limited bandwidth, and weakened privacy. It's not always this way, though.
ProtonVPN is one of — if not the best — free VPN. The only real rival to its title is TunnelBear, but we think ProtonVPN has the edge. The free version offers access to 23 servers in three countries, decent connection speeds, and the ability to bypass content restrictions. ProtonVPN also has a strict no-logging policy that extends to free users.
If you do choose to upgrade to a paid plan, a one-year subscription is on sale for 20% off. As of July 22, you can sign up for £3.45 per month. This upgraded plan provides access to hundreds of servers located all around the world, with two simultaneous connections, improved connection speeds, and more advanced security features.
We can recommend ProtonVPN, but the best way to find out whether this service works for you is by trying it out. Sign up to ProtonVPN for free and see for yourself.
