The Best Free VPNs in 2025
Read about our Methodology and Testing
For every VPN we review (both paid and free), we sign up for the service, and have our team install and test all of the VPN’s apps. During those tests, we check the VPN’s speed, how well it unblocks websites, its torrenting support, and its security protocols. Then, we test any extra features, and evaluate the service’s customer support. You can read about our full process here.
