Best Free VPN (That Won't Sell Your Data)

This buyer guide is being source-verified. Use the questions and official links on each profile to compare fit; no independent ranking is asserted yet.

What to Look For

Before picking a tool, ask yourself these questions:

• Does the free tier have a data cap? (Many cap at 500MB–2GB/month — ProtonVPN doesn't)
• Does the provider have a no-logs policy that's been independently audited?
• Are free-tier servers in locations useful to you, or limited to high-congestion nodes?
• Is the free tier a genuine product or a trial designed to frustrate you into upgrading?
