Review

This review applies to version 2.1 The latest version of this software will soon be reviewed by our informers.

FreeVPN is a free VPN client for Windows computers. This is one of a few services that allows you to connect to a free VPN server to bypass geographic restrictions and to encrypt your browsing sessions. Graphically, the application is quite simple. It consists of a single window that has a status log and a connect and disconnect buttons. The client allows you to connect to 10 different VPN servers. There are servers in the USA and Europe. There is one server with the name Hulu in between parenthesis. That is the server that has been tried and is known to work with Hulu. Once you select a server and connect to it, the application will create a VPN connection to the server and your computer will now be part of the VPN host network, thus giving you an IP address from the server. With that, you can fool certain websites into thinking your traffic is coming from the USA, for example. I was surprised to see that this service worked even better than advertised. I was up and running in less than a minute. The streaming of video is fast, which has to do a lot with the bandwidth that is available with FreeVPN. I tried this with several sites like Hulu and they have all worked so far. The client sits in the system tray area and you can disconnect and connect from there. I have yet to find something I don't like about this little app.
  • Easy to use.
  • It is fast.
  • Works great.
  • None.

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology to use a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organization's network. In other words VPN is your personal secured connection to a website, e-mail, chat, payment system and others via VPN provider server. All the data is encrypted. VPN is used by bankers, brokers, Wi-Fi users, gamers, bloggers, everyone who cares about their network security. VPN is also often used in order to skirt the ban and get an access to websites, which are blocked in local network or in the whole country. For example, you work in an office and your system administrator has cut off your favorite social network or an online dating site. Connect to your VPN and you will be no longer limited in chatting with buddies, meeting new people online or looking through some spicy things. Getting other country's IP instead of your hidden one is another important advantage in using VPN...
