Windscribe Free & VPNLite - 2 of the "better" Free VPN Services

Ympker

So many people probably know about my LTD VPN addicition (see signature) and how I usally often enough recommend Windscribe VPN and Keepsolid VPN.

Now, given a forum user was recently looking for a VPN at the price point of 1-3$/year, simply for unblocking, I thought it was worth mentioning that the services I named above do provide a free tier as well. There are so many free VPNs out there that I'd consider a rip-off (highly likely to steal/misuse your data), so if going for a free VPN, might as well pick one of the "better ones" from established (Premium VPN) providers.

This won't be a very long post, I'll just give a short headsup on the free tier and present some self-run speedtest (nothing special).

VPNLite by Keepsolid:

Devices: Windows Store, Android, iOS, macOS.
Speedtest without VPN: 160 Mbit/s Down, 15 Mbit/s Up
Speedtest with VPN: US Location (only one available): 34 Mbit/s Down, 15 Mbit/s Up.

Speeds were decent. Streaming Services appear to be only unblocked with the Premium version.

VPNLite is a free plan offered by Keepsolid VPN (VPN Unlimited). It appears like you do not need to create an account with them to use the service (at least on Android). Or at least that's what I thought, however for whatever reason they also offer a "Premium" Plan to their "Lite" VPN. For me this doesn't make much sense since they already offer Keepsolid VPN as a "Premium" product, but VPN Lite Premium appears to be a bit cheaper than the regular price for Keepsolid VPN. Not gonna try to look for the difference here (probably some protocols +/- and device limit, missing Firewall..). This post was only about introducing the Free Tier (KeepSolid VPN Lite), anyway. Plans can be seen below.

Windscribe Free:

Devices: Desktop + Phone (Android+iOS)

Speed: Not going to provide a speedtest as multi-accounts are forbidden. Anyway, when I used the free version (back then with Reddit50 code), I always thought the speed was quite decent, too.

Windscribe VPN Free can be used to surf for free for 10GB/month (or more with some promo codes that were being issued ever so often).

You can use Windscribe for free, for as long as you like. With a confirmed email address you get 10GB/month of data, unlimited connections and access to over 10 countries.

Overall, can't go wrong with Windscribe imho, however unlimited data may be more appealing (VPNLite). It might be worth mentioning that you can build your own plan from the customer panel which starts from 1$/location/month, so essentially Windscribe Premium benefits for 1 location for 12$/year.

Great price VPNUnlimited has been consistently faster on avg than Windscribe Premium, lately.
