Cursor agent VPN

A VPN CLI for Cursor workflows.

Cursor can work with Free VPN CLI when your project gives it clear instructions: read SKILL.md, use JSON output, verify status before tests, and keep region changes explicit.

Agent Skill

Give Cursor SKILL.md, then let it use terminal commands.

SKILL.md helps Cursor understand the Free VPN CLI command surface: status checks, region switching, JSON output, doctor diagnostics, and restore flow. It reduces guesswork and keeps VPN actions visible in the terminal.

Runs where your work already lives

A VPN command surface for Cursor coding sessions.

Keep network-sensitive work inside the same terminal where Cursor runs tests, scripts, and diagnostics.

Cursor terminal

Run Free VPN CLI commands from the integrated terminal without opening a separate VPN window.

Agent commands

Use SKILL.md so Cursor knows when to check status, change regions, connect, disconnect, and restore state.

JSON output

Use --json for status, regions, and doctor output that Cursor can inspect reliably.

Region testing

Ask Cursor to verify the current VPN state before and after region-sensitive API or UI tests.

Two lines and you're connected

Use structured VPN commands inside Cursor.

For Cursor workflows, start by checking state, choose a documented region, then connect with JSON output so the agent can verify what happened.

Paste in Terminal
$freevpn status --json
$freevpn set-region "US East"
$freevpn up --json

Install Free VPN CLI from the downloads page first if freevpn is not available in the terminal.

How it works

up. status. down.

Three verbs cover most day-to-day VPN work. set-region and doctor cover region selection and troubleshooting.

1 Check where you are · connect
freevpn status · up
user@shell $ freevpn status
VPN : disconnected
region : Fastest (auto)
your IP : 122.179.8.116
location : Bengaluru, India
 
user@shell $ freevpn up
Connected to Fastest (auto)
your IP : 85.195.125.198
location: Frankfurt, Germany
2 Switch region · verify · disconnect

Switched to US East

Cursor workflow

Prompt Cursor with bounded VPN tasks.

A good Cursor prompt is explicit about state checks, region intent, and diagnostics.

Paste in Terminal
$freevpn status --json
$freevpn regions --json
$freevpn set-region "US East"
$freevpn up --json
$freevpn status --json
$freevpn doctor --json
CommandWhy it matters
freevpn status --jsonCursor can read current VPN state before changing anything.
freevpn regions --jsonCursor can inspect region choices without scraping text.
freevpn set-region "US East"
freevpn up --json		Set an explicit region, connect, and return structured output.
freevpn doctor --jsonGive Cursor concrete diagnostics when a network task fails.
Features

Cursor-specific Free VPN CLI features.

The useful pieces are SKILL.md, JSON output, terminal-first operation, and diagnostics Cursor can summarize.

SKILL.md as context

Works with Claude, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes, and any MCP tool. Cursor can use the skill as a compact reference for commands and safety rules.

Terminal-first operations

Cursor can use the integrated terminal instead of inspecting app windows.

JSON diagnostics

Doctor output can be summarized in the same coding session.

Explicit region control

Region changes stay visible in terminal commands.

Human permission boundaries

Install and service changes still need normal user approval.

Test-friendly state checks

Run status before and after network-sensitive tests.

Ad Block

Give Cursor a cleaner network path for app and test traffic.

Turn on Ad Block once and Free VPN applies it globally while the VPN is connected. Scripts, local apps, browsers, command-line tools, and background services benefit from the same DNS-level blocking.

  • Blocks known ad, analytics, and tracker domains across the device.
  • Works at the VPN layer, not only inside a browser extension.
  • Use stats output when you need to see what was blocked during a session.
adblock · Cursor
$ freevpn adblock on
Ad Block : On
$ freevpn adblock update
Rules : Ready
$ freevpn adblock stats
# summarize blocked requests during the test session
Optional desktop app

The CLI stays primary; the desktop app is optional.

Cursor should use terminal commands and JSON output for VPN work. If you also want a window for everyday status, regions, Ad Block, billing, or update checks, add the companion app after installing the CLI.

Paste in Terminal
$freevpn gui install
$freevpn gui open
$freevpn gui uninstall
Built for

Cursor workflows that need clear network state.

Use the CLI when VPN changes are part of development, QA, API testing, or automation work.

Geo-sensitive QA

Verify region state before running tests that depend on location or egress.

Network debugging

Collect doctor diagnostics in the same coding session when an endpoint behaves differently.

Project instructions

Keep SKILL.md close to the repo so Cursor has the right commands and boundaries.

Permissioned actions

Make region and connection changes explicit rather than hidden behind a GUI-only flow.

Pricing

Free forever. Upgrade only if you want it.

Free VPN CLI is genuinely free to use: no signup, no email, no credit card. Cursor workflows can use the free plan for repeated development and testing sessions. The paid option removes the continuous connection limit for people who want the VPN running all day. Cancel any time. Prices in USD.

Always free

Free plan — $0 forever

No signup. No card. No expiry. Use it as much as you want.

  • 30-min sessions with a 3-min break in between, on repeat, forever.
  • Same servers, regions and Ad Block as the paid plan.

Practical notes

Cursor usage notes.

Cursor works best when VPN instructions are specific and parseable.

  • Keep user intent explicit before region changes.
  • Use status --json before and after connection changes.
  • Run doctor --json when a network test fails.
  • Use CLI JSON instead of GUI screenshots.
FAQ

VPN for Cursor FAQ.

Does Cursor need a custom VPN plugin?
No. Once Free VPN CLI is installed, Cursor can use terminal commands. SKILL.md gives Cursor a compact reference for commands, JSON output, exit handling, and troubleshooting.
Why use SKILL.md with Cursor?
SKILL.md reduces guesswork. It tells Cursor to prefer freevpn status --json, freevpn regions --json, freevpn set-region, freevpn up --json, and freevpn doctor --json instead of scraping UI text.
Can Cursor switch VPN regions?
Yes, when you explicitly ask it to. A practical flow is to check status, inspect regions, run freevpn set-region "US East", connect, and verify status again.
Should Cursor parse GUI screenshots?
No. Cursor should use CLI commands and JSON output. The optional desktop app is useful for humans, but agent workflows should stay terminal-first.
Can Cursor troubleshoot VPN failures?
It can collect evidence with freevpn doctor --json and summarize DNS, route, controller, license, or egress checks. It should still ask before making broad network changes.
Is the Free VPN CLI free for Cursor workflows?
Yes. The free plan has repeated 30-minute sessions with a short break. Paid plans are only for unlimited continuous connection time.
