I'm Currently using Hotspot Shield VPN Elite but My Subscription is about to Over and I can't pay for it further due to my current Financial Condition! I blindly trust on it as it was One of the Best Paid VPN I've ever used in all aspects! Now I'm Looking for a Free VPN for some Months! Should I go for it?

There are some windscribe giveaways, many users here trust them, maybe you could give it a try? So far using them I have noticed that their speeds are not as good and their connection is not as stable as my paid VPN from cyberghost.

Hi friends,I think trusting to a company is not belong to be paid or free,btw its depend on vpn provider company most trusted company also have free and paid plan,same as CG or Windscribe,the second point of a trusted company is the country of them, same as : you can't trust a company how the HQ of them In USA because its unders NSA mass surveillanc.
third : do't trust vpn company who do't support Bitcoin and anonymous payment because they can trace you easily from your info :)
fourth : keep close attention the law of vpn company many of them same as "Security Kiss Tunnel" has restriced law against pornographic it mean if you acceess a site how contain "these" they will terminate your account and saved your money :(
fifth: do't trust vpn company under law of US law,trust vpns how under EU law and another blah blah :D
hope to help you ;)

hotspothield is one of the worst VPN'S out there when it comes to privacy of it's users. the do nothing but logging and tracing your acitivity and I would not be surprised if this company shares the logs of its users with other third parties. windscribe has a 50gb a month free giveaway which the most generous and they do respect your privacy.

follow this thread on mt to get 50gb free per month :

Unlimited Giveaway - Windscribe Free VPN With 50GB Traffic Is Back

there is another fairly good free option based on open vpn which is vpngate , which comes from japan. speeds are not always the best with this vpn , but you will get unlimited data , this vpn originates from a japanese college , they do log your traffic a bit , but that is for their own personal use , it can be found here :

VPN Gate - Public Free VPN Cloud by Univ of Tsukuba, Japan

@Umbra uses this one too. maybe he can tell you more on this vpn :)

most Free ones are essentially just limited paid ones, only a few Countries you can use, etc.
obviously the speed/reliability of these are low, but you get what you paid for :D

if you use a VPN on a daily basis, you should find a good one and buy a discounted package, usually 1 year subs go for a lot cheaper than monthly.

Ignore all the replies, mate :p and just watch this video full and you would know the whole real truth and then you won't always need to think about this question or ask about it.

my ex was so untrusted that I stopped trusting on anyone, whether free or paid, but free ones would not like to pay from their pockets for us, would they? Not trusted to me.

I use a paid VPN - Private Internet Access. I use it because it's very affordable, fast and reliable. I feel that a free VPN would not be as fast, which means it's not an option for me.

I pay just $6.95 a month, but you can buy a 12 month subscription for $39.95.

I agree with Roger. I would strongly recommend paid services. To be free, something has to give, right? Usually, in my experience what gives is your privacy and the willingness of a company to follow more strict consumer guidelines a pay for play system provides.

PIN and AirVPN are my paid choices.

If you are running out of cash try Ivacy VPN. I am using it, it offers premium features for just $2.04/month

Maybe for u and thats totaly okay. But its simply not true.. Cheap servers, logging like no tomorrow, the client is just useless without much futures. it leaks some ipv6 and i am not sure if they hide WebRTC. Hotspot Shield is one of the last ones i would ever use. I trust my own internet provider 100 times more and that says something. U should realy think about change ur provider. But if u are happy with them, stay with them. :) But hold in mind, there are way better providers out there like Airvpn, perfect-privacy, ivpn and others.

I have only just started to use a VPN occasionally (the windscribe offer as was mentioned above) and i certainly trust this free one ...... after all they want you to upgrade to the pro (or paid for version) so i doubt they would give you a crap product/service if they want to woo you into that. I don't really have many issues about "being tracked" as i'm not doing anything wrong.

Although i voted that i trust them, i don't actually trust anyone 100%
