how's it going everybody welcome back today we're going to be talking about free vpns
and why a free vpns are usually not safe and if you are looking for a free vpn i'll also give you
a suggestion for one of the best free vpns that you can use out there so before we begin if you
guys are interested in any of the vpns mentioned today you'll find links to special deals and
discounts in the description down below as well as full reviews if you'd like to learn more about
these vpns okay so very quickly i'm going to go through some of the reasons why using free vpns
is probably not the best idea and then i'll get through these vpns these suggestions for some of
the best vpns i have for you today and why these may be a better fit for you so the first reason
is the vpn application could be infected with malware if not malware then it could be adware
that kind of spams you with pop-up notifications this is how usually free vpns and make their money
or vpns can use embedded tracking for various purposes typically also advertising related
purposes vpns can also often fail at unblocking content if you're looking for free vpns that
unblock let's say streaming services maintaining servers that keep up with the constant blockings
of streaming services can be costly and that service is not going to be offered for free
vpns might also slow down your connection free vpns also free vpn servers are usually congested
since they're free servers and they'll typically slow down your connection free vpns may also
allow the delivery of online ads as i mentioned before it has to do with adware and such and this
is how the vpns that claim to be free make their money they collect information and they sell it
to online third-party advertisers some free vpns can also hijack your browser
and redirect you to other sites without your permission hotspot shield is guilty
of doing this to its users for example redirecting them to alibaba.com and ebay.com and finally vpns
may allow governments to collect user data so if you're kind of relying on free vpn services to
keep whatever data they have about you between you and them then that's probably not going to happen
as usually free vpns will not contest the government's demands even if it violates the
user's anonymity so if you're looking for a free vpn to use i would definitely recommend atlas vpn
it's one of the only vpns that are actually worth using even for the you know the paid version is
actually pretty good because it allows you to also unblock streaming services unlike a lot
of the other paid versions of free vpns this paid version of atlas vpn is actually worth the money
especially if you're looking for a very well coded bug free and very responsive vpn that is
also very cheap so yeah this is definitely one of the best vpns overall not just a free vpn but if
you're looking for a free vpn you have unlimited bandwidth and you can secure as many devices as
you would like without really having to even pay for it so obviously you're not gonna get uh many
servers you're gonna get access to only three countries uh uh that that includes the united
states netherlands and i believe japan but you know it's obviously not going to be as quick as
the premium servers right here so the only thing you're not going to get with the free version
is the assistant right here which is a tracker blocker uh and well that's about it really you
still get the kill switch with the free version and you are able to switch from ipsec or ik v2
to a wire guard so uh yeah great stuff overall and of course you're not going to get access to
all these servers 31 countries you've got 31 countries in 40 locations and over 700
servers all of which are physical which maintain very high speeds now if you're looking for vpns
that are able to unblock even more streaming services vpns that are faster and more secure
i would definitely direct you to one of these vpns these vpns are definitely the top three
in the industry and i would begin with expressvpn if you're looking for the best of the best now
you know if you're looking to try these vpns for free you can definitely do that with their
30-day money-back guarantee all of these vpns are covered by a 30 day money back guarantee so you
are able to get yourself a refund essentially you can use the same 12 11 or 12 dollars to try out
all of these vpns for one month for free and they all do have live chat support so you can just go
to their live chat support on their website and ask for the refund in for the most part it's a no
questions asked procedure for all these vpns now if you're looking for the best of the best i would
definitely recommend expressvpn if especially if you're prioritizing on blocking streaming
services expressvpn is known for being the best vpn at unblocking streaming services especially
netflix hbo hulu all of the very popular vpns and you can also unblock all of the very popular
streaming services and if you're trying to unblock even some of the more obscure streaming services
you do have 94 countries in expressvpn so you have plenty of options to try it out
with different streaming services from different regions and you've got over three thousand servers
and the ability to secure up to five devices per subscription not only do you have the kill switch
you also get split tunneling which allow to choose which applications are routed through the vpn
connection or the other way around you can have a certain applications bypass the vpn connection
so that can be very useful of course a handful of protocols unlike atlas with just two options
you do have a handful here i typically just uh go with the best performing protocol so that'll
be the lightweight udp protocol so if you're looking for a vpn that secures one more device
maybe a little bit less consistent with streaming services especially netflix us
for netflix expressvpn is definitely the best followed up by surf shark but if you're looking
to just unblock every other streaming service it's just not necessarily the us netflix the north
vpn does just fine it it does very well actually especially if you're focusing on asian netflix and
european netflix but unfortunately after the recent crackdown on uh vpn traffic nordvpn
is still having trouble with unblocking us netflix but overall it's a great service it has over 5100
servers in 60 countries a handful of features including specialty servers and ad blocker
the nord links protocol which is a powerful very quick protocol uh the conventional kill switch as
well as an amp kill switch split tunneling custom dns and obfuscated servers now if you're looking
for the most budget-friendly vpn that actually gets the job done without really sacrificing much
on performance or security for that matter you still get features with surf shark you're going
to be able similar to atlas vpn you're going to be able to secure virtually an unlimited number
of devices you still get multi-hop and static ip which are the same as double vpn and dedicated ip
from nordvpn which by the way you can only get access to by using openvpn not nord links um
and of course you're still going to get a handful of features here such as a bunch of
protocols including the shadowsox protocol which will only secure your browser traffic but you
will be able to reach banned websites using this protocol if you're in a censorship happy country
no borders mode will help you uh bypass the great firewall of china if you're in china and of course
you still get whitelister which is split tunneling you get a kill switch and an ad blocker which is
called clean web and with regards to servers you have over 3200 servers in 65 countries so yeah
still a very good selection of servers overall these vpns are you know just some of the best vpns
and again they all have a money-back guarantee on all of their plans no matter which plans you get
and that includes atlas vpn they also have a money-back guarantee which is really
cool though keep in mind with atlas vpn they don't have a live chat support so you'll have
to contact them through their email support but they are responsive so no worries there

these vpns you'll find links to special deals and discounts in the description down below as well
