# About Free VPN

> Free VPN is the original free VPN — operated by Free VPN.org™, used by 100M+ people across iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux since 2015.

## The Original Free VPN

Free VPN, powered by Free VPN.org™, is one of the most popular VPN apps on the Apple App Store and Google Play. It's the *original* Free VPN — often imitated, never duplicated.

A VPN establishes a direct, encrypted connection between your device and the internet. Once connected, your data travels through a tunnel that can't be read, manipulated, or hijacked by the networks in between (your ISP, public Wi-Fi, hotel networks, employer networks).

## Unparalleled capabilities

- **Triple-encrypts all device data** for assured world-class service.
- **Achieves five-bar performance** no matter how poor the signal or how congested the network.
- **Dual-ended architecture and codec technology** secures, accelerates, and reduces all network traffic for the fastest speeds.
- **Identifies the fastest server** across thousands of worldwide locations for the content you're trying to reach.
- **Connects even through firewalls and blocked networks.** We actively monitor a network of thousands of nodes across many countries for accessibility and service functionality.

## Your privacy is our highest priority

We do not collect, store, or sell any user data. We can't — Free VPN requires no account, no email, and no personal information. There's nothing to attach a log to.

Unlike most "free" VPNs that monetize by collecting and selling your browsing history, we're funded by optional premium upgrades and non-intrusive ads inside the app. That funding model lets us stay genuinely free *and* genuinely private.
