Free VPN by Free VPN .org™ Ratings and Reviews

Haven’t rated an app in over a decade I’d venture to say; and I don’t think I’ve felt compelled to ever leave a review, considering how many opinions already echo any number of sentiments I’d be sharing. However, this app is totally perfection, and really is a great model for what providing a free app for a vital app should look like. When it comes to a VPN solution this was made those of us tired of paywalls, especially when tiered access is so prevalent, and lower tiers still watch ads that generate revenue on top of the premium you’re paying to access a given service. Once you’re done viewing ads for the time allotment you need, no more ads. They make you view their premium offer and bypass it for the basic, ad fueled version every time you connect, but it’s a small price for such a big payoff. If an ad won’t load or stalls, you still get credit for it. You don’t get rollover time - so watch ads in the increments they offer because they don’t issue VPN time in equal increments per ad you watch so it’s not advantageous to try and watch one ad in the 24 hr slot (thinking you’ll get 2 hours after the first one). It always connects, has a great deal of locations to choose from, doesn’t slow down connectivity (significantly) very often, and absolutely means free in the way of not requiring an in app purchase. Kudos developers, this deserves a higher rating than the current 4.6 IMHO.

We are truly delighted to know that you like the app. Thank you for a top star rating and such a promising review. It means a lot to us.

While it may make my WiFi slow at times (as all VPNs do every now and then, especially since I’m not exactly paying for the best quality), this has been the one VPN app that I actually trust and have no issues with. I see others saying that they’re getting 50 ads when it should be 12 for 24 hours, it sounds as though they’re being a bit overdramatic or didn’t realize that after the first twelve ads you are supposed to click out of that screen. Not to mention — 12 ads for 24 hours of free VPN service which includes being able to change your location freely? You almost think it’s a scam, but of course; it isn’t. It’s literally one of the best VPNs free of use out there in my opinion. And the WiFi issue isn’t really a problem either, I’ve noticed that lately it’s been running even faster while I use it which makes me believe they have taken the time to edit and sort out that glitch. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a quick fix to change your IP. Also, you’re not being hacked when you use it just because the wifi is slow. Before anyone says that again, you REALLY need to research how VPNs work because any other VPN I use does the exact same thing every once in awhile.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review and giving top stars to us. It means a lot.

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 the app. 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 the app (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 this app 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 the app, 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.

We are truly happy to know you are enjoying the app. Thank you for a top star rating and for penning down your thoughts

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.

Glad you liked it. Thank you! We are truly happy to know that you are having an enjoyable experience with our app. Feel free to reach out to us anytime @ support@freevpn.org

If you are looking for a free vpn that works on school networks this is it. Depending on how much time you need (though it’s always the best to do the 24 hour timer to how much time you need) you have 3 options of watching ads. The 24 hour version has 12 ads, some of them you can instantly x out of, some 5 seconds long, and some weird ads. Personally I close the app out for ads over 5 seconds and go back in because it’s quicker, and you get the time for watching the ad. The time you get per ad is exponential (first ad like 10 minutes, then 30, 1hr etc). Also has a good amount of locations to choose from even while free. As all vpns it can be sometimes slow, but it is free. I haven’t tested the actual ip location hiding (to see if it really redirects through somewhere else) but it seems to work for Netflix atleast.

***Update July 25, 2024

Well I was told to contact you after I left a review in the app because they said that the app wasn’t supposed to do that. (Meaning you are supposed to be able to watch ANY streaming service as long as you watched ads.) If you choose the free version and watch the ads that you (FreeUPN) get money from those ads but the User doesnt get to stream from services because those APPS (Vudu,Netflix,Amazon,etc) block FreeUPN because they automatically know you are an UPN and they think I’m not in the US when I am. You say then pay for the upgraded service and use our better servers. That’s not free. So you are not going to fix the problem because your APP is set up to frustrate the Free users into paying monthly. So your “Free”UPN is a lie to get service you are forced to pay. So “Free” is not really Free. Even though you get paid from ads you still want more. This App was great (5 Stars) before they started reducing their service pushing you to buy a monthly perscription. I know you want to make money but you have us watch ads. You are making money from that. I live in the US trying to stream in the US. But those services think because I’m using a UPN to protect myself that I’m not in the US.

Apologies for any difficulty you faced with the app. The issue you mentioned should not have happened. Please write to us at support@freevpnapp.org and we will loook into it at the earliest.

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.

Thank you for taking time out to review the app.
Please write to us @support@freevpn.org with your feedback/suggestion so we can work towards a 5 star performance.

This is kinda long: this app 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!

So glad you like the app. Thank you for a top star rating.

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

Thank you for taking time out to review the app and sharing your feedback.
Please note, once the minutes are earned by you, we cannot and do not take it back. We surely will look into the bugs and try to provide a better service. Thank you for your continued support.

Okay so I typically don’t write reviews but this VPN is A LIFE SAVER!! Im a high-school student (11th grade) and, as high schools do nowadays, they block certain sites. Nonetheless, some of these sites we actually need to use! I especially use Pinterest so I can draw for my art class and Pinterest has been blocked, not only is this VPN free (though - you do have to watch a lot of ads) it is so far the ONLY VPN to give me access to Pinterest which imo is makes it an automatic winner. It will make your loading time slow but honestly you’ll get used to it after a while. Once you’re on the VPN it should appear in a box where your battery and connection is at (for iOS, I’m not sure about other devices) but once you’re on you can access pretty much anywhere!! Including discord, instagram, twitter, etc… for me!!
