Looking for a free VPN service for Android? Here are the best virtual private networks for users with devices running Android.
VPNs have become an essential part of internet usage, whether you're trying to access geo-restricted content on YouTube or Netflix or just want to hide your web browsing activity from your internet service providers.
Most VPN services have a subscription model, where they charge you for the service. Fortunately, this is not the case for everyone. Here are the best free VPNs for the Android operating system.
WindScribe
Windscribe is a Candian VPN available on a variety of platforms, including Android. Although a paid version is available, you can use Windescribe VPN for free. They use military-grade encryption and have a strict no-logs policy.
With a free account, you get 10GB of free encrypted web browsing per month. You can increase that and earn an extra 5GB a month by tagging Windscribe on Twitter as a form of advertising. You also get a malware detector and ad blocker automatically with the app.
The Android app is lightweight at just under 80MB when installed. Its sleek and intuitive design makes it easy to use even for non-technical users. Plus, you can use the same free account on an unlimited number of devices, Android and otherwise.
Negative sides
If you're looking for a free app to bypass Netflix's geo-restrictions, Windscribe isn't for you. Only paid users have access to global Netflix content.
Additionally, as a free user, you are limited to 10 locations on Windscribe's 60 available servers. And while the connection speed is highly unstable for free users, it won't get in the way unless you're loading online games or videos that take up a lot of bandwidth.
