Why VpnHood! leads the free tier

Most "free" VPNs cap your data, hide features behind a paywall, or keep their code closed. VpnHood! CONNECT does none of that.

Genuinely unlimited & free

No data caps, no bandwidth throttling and no account sign-up — connect and browse with the full free experience.

100% open source

Both the client and the server are fully open source, so anyone can audit exactly how your traffic is handled.

Advanced split tunneling

Split traffic by country, by app and by local network — control that rival free tiers simply don't offer.
