5 Free Online VPN Services
Update: See my latest article where I have written about 8 free VPN services including these.
There are so many times when we want to browse the internet anonymously. There are a few ways to do it including using a proxy server or a VPN connection. Proxy servers are not all that good in terms of speed and features. By features, I mean that some of the proxy sites disable javascript and some of them don’t allow dynamic content. If we use a proxy server, it’s also very slow and not all that anonymous.
The option left behind is using an online VPN service. Most online VPN services are paid services. So if we want to use an online VPN service, we have to buy it first. But here are 5 services that I have come across and have been using over a period of time. So if you are having troubles in opening any website and your ISP or your country is blocking any site, you can easily use one of these services to access the blocked content without anyone knowing about it.
AlonWeb
AlonWeb uses the OpenVPN software which is malware free. So it’s pretty safe to use AlonWeb VPN service. Just download the OpenVPN client software below and then download the Alonweb certificate and configuration file.
Copy the configuration file in the config folder in OpenVPN installation directory.
Now register for a new user account on AlonWeb VPN service.
Connect through OpenVPN using the username and password which you just registered.
Open VPN Client (1.1 MiB, 2,357 hits)
AlonWeb certificate+config file (1.1 KiB, 1,661 hits)
UltraVPN
UltraVPN is similar to AlonWeb. It is also based on OpenVPN service. It is also very easy to use. Just download the UltraVPN client from below and register for UltraVPN service here. Right click the UltraVPN icon placed in the status bar and select connect.
UltraVPN (921.6 KiB, 1,765 hits)
JAP
JAP is the VPN service I mostly use now. JAP is a german service so the IPs assigned to the JAP user will be Germany based. JAP software can be downloaded below. It doesn’t require any username or password. Just install the software, run it and enjoy anonymous connectivity to the internet.
JAP (7.9 MiB, 2,508 hits)
HotSpot
HotSpot has long been the best and the only VPN service that was very popular and was easy to use. But now I have abondoned it because of its advertisements that come on while we are browsing the internet. Anyways if you want to use HotSpot online VPN service, you can download it below:
Anchor Free HotSpot Shield 1.17 (3.4 MiB, 1,225 hits)
PacketiX.NET
PacketiX.NET is the latest of my finds and works pretty well. But the problem is that it is a commercial software but the trial version is available. So it can be used freely without purchasing it. Just download the VPN connection manager from below and install it and make a new VPN connection in the connection manager and surf the web through PacketiX.NET VPN service.
Register with PacketiX.NET service here.
Update: See my latest article where I have written about 8 free VPN services including these.
out of curiosity… is packetiX (or any of the services for that matter) secure in that it encrypts your data? Do the servers keep a log of your surfing activities? And lastly, is it safe from hackers?
unfortunately,HotSpot has been unavailable in our country,please don’t show it as this.
Hi There,
Thanks for the article,
I Downloaded the JAP.Jar file
changed to JAP.zip
Extracted it
but there was no set up file in there,
can you please update on how to install this JAP program
Be careful about JAP. They keep logs according to the German cyber law (for 6 to 7 months).
