## Direct answer

Free VPN creates an encrypted connection between a supported device and a VPN server. This can hide the device's public IP address from websites and reduce what the local network or internet provider can read in transit. A VPN does not prevent phishing, malware, unsafe downloads, account compromise, or tracking by services a user signs into.

## Common questions

### Is Free VPN actually free?

Yes. A free, ad-supported option is available without entering payment details. Optional subscriptions and in-app purchases are also offered. Exact prices and trial terms vary by store and region.

### Do I need an account?

No account or email is required to start the free tier.

### Is a VPN complete online protection?

No. A VPN protects traffic on the path between the device and the VPN server and changes the public IP address seen by destinations. It does not replace software updates, strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, anti-malware protection, or careful link and download checks.

### Where should I download it?

Use the official [Apple App Store listing](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/free-vpn-by-free-vpn-org/id1050171910), [Google Play listing](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.freevpn), or the [Free VPN downloads page](https://freevpnapp.org/downloads/). Avoid unofficial APK, installer, and mirror sites.
