Four Free VPN Services

Do yo have a problem in reaching certain websites like Skype or Youtube at work? Do you browse sensitive content on the internet and don’t want your staff to know it?

I’ve been doing some research on what might be good to use if, I was away from my home network. I thought how safe am I at Web cafes or other places where i access internet services. So I did a little looking around came to the conclusion that the best solution is using a Virtual Private Network (VPN).With VPN service we can bypass country specific restrictions to access services like Hulu and Pandora, If you want know more details about VPN functioning,then check out About.com

Although majority of VPN services are paid services ,but we are sharing  Five Free  VPN services which are currently free to use with limited restrictions.

1.UltraVPN:

ultravpn free vpn service

UltraVPN is the most used free VPN on the internet. Aside from being completely free of charge, it offers also blazing speed and no quotas. It is not add supported. UltraVPN servers are run by Lynanda located in France and you will get France IP address. No connection or traffic logs are kept.you cannot use UltraVPN to send spam. If you use UltraVPN to commit hacking, you are required to cover your traces.(LOL ?)

Just create a free account and start using the free VPN service by installing UltraVPN software

2.PacketiX.NET

packetixnet Free VPN service
PacketiX.NET is a Japan VPN service ,so you’ll be getting Japanese IP address.Although it is a commercial VPN service but PacketiX.NET online test service is a free VPN service offered by SoftEther. It is a test platform for developing PacketiX VPN 2.0, a high-security VPN system.

PacketiX.NET setup

In order to install PacketiX.NET you have to download the client application “PacketiX VPN Client Manager” and a configuration file – “Secure.vpn“.The setup of this VPN service is not trivial. So read the following tutorial before you get started.

3.Alonweb

Alonweb Free VPN service

Alonweb is just an OpenVPN server, based upon the highly popular OpenVPN platform. You just have to create an account with them and start having fun.

But remember, this Free VPN service is free only with a 1000MB per month bandwidth restriction. I think this is enough for simple browsing . The service is quite OK in terms of speed and overall usage but injects annoying advertisements to the browsed pages. If you want to go beyond that and use it for downloading your favorite songs, video etc., then you will have to go for their paid version.

4.CyberGhost :

cyberghost Free  VPN service
This a German VPN Service,so automatically you will get German IP address.Similar to PacketiX.NET VPN service,CyberGhost VPN is a free VPN provider which also offers paid service. The free service is limited to 10GB traffic every month, which is enough for surfing on websites, chatting and email.

Only if you download a lot you need more. The paid service costs 9,99 Euro (about 15 US-Dollar) every month and comes with 40GB traffic. A bulk account at 70 Euro (90 US-Dollar) for a year is also available.

  • Can someone help me find a free or cheap vpn to use in China, where I’m now living. I’ve tried UltraVPN (and cannot connect with it; I also find its tech support to be too technical for me) and ItsHidden (and cannot make a connection with it either). Can someone help me solve problems with either of these or find a new VPN? Write me at grigsbyw@gmail.com.

  • This is the easiest to use and fastest free VPN I came across while I was in China – http://ugotfile.com/file/1915100/witopia.exe No installation is needed ! It’s Chinese, the first button means ON, the bottom button is OFF. It works in IE and in Firefox (you need to set HTTP/HTTPS proxy in Firefox to 127.0.0.1 port 1234 or alternatively you can tell Firefox to use system proxy).

    • This doesn’t work, where can we find an updated version?

  • Being in Shanghai, I have nearly no more access to megaupload and many other sites. Most of the link above cannot be access. No surprise as we are just after “Celebration” of the 4th day of this month = full censure.
    I was looking for free VPN and have tried a few (open VPN, PacketIx, Aretusa, JAP…) but none are passing the great firewall properly.
    Any substitute?
    Bandwith has also been affected the last days…

  • CyberGhost has limit 1GB/month not 10GB as it says here

    freeopenvpn.com doesn’t seem to work with all ports (i e not for file sharing)

    Thanks for sharing

  • There’s also http://proxpn.com/ that offers a free version along with it’s paid proXPN version. By the way, ultravpn.fr and alonweb.com seem to have died as well as a few other free services not listed.

    Forced internet censorship by any Government limits knowledge and opinion. It’s good to see the successful ones maintain their presence and are still able to offer a free version.
