Some VPN providers offer free versions of their VPN clients in addition to the paid subscription model. However, there are a few things to keep in mind: A free VPN usually only offers a limited choice of locations and often has a limited data volume per month. In addition, the free services are usually not suitable for streaming, as the VPN providers usually reserve the unlocking functions for their corresponding paid versions. On the other hand, streaming operators often recognise high-traffic free VPN servers as proxies.
