Free US, UK and Canada VPN Offered by TheFreeVPN (with Ads)

Posted: 12 Nov 2009 01:44 AM PST

TheFreeVPN is a the new free service that lets users surf the web privately also allowing them to bypass internet censorship. Unfortunatelly, it comes with a price: annoying ads.

With TheFreeVPN you can:

Access blocked websites from within a corporate environmement
Watch Hulu.com, Pandora.com, ABC.com, BBC.co.uk from anywhere
Protect yourself from snoopers at Wi-Fi hotspots, hotels, airports, corporate offices and ISP hubs.
Hide your IP address for your privacy online

Get started

To get started all you need to do is to install the FreeVPN client software from the website and select one of the available VPN servers to get connected anonymously. You can choose from 3 US servers (one special for watching Hulu), 3 UK servers and 1 Canada server (this is the only free Canada VPN that I know!).

After connecting to a server you can check your IP address on MyIPTest.com. Below, you can see the results for the Canada server.

The dark side

TheFreeVPN is not completely free. The client that you install changes your browser homepage to http://thefreevpn.com/home.php and every time you open the browser or a new tab you are redirected to a certain ad page. This is quite annoying!

To be honest, I prefer completely free VPN accounts (with no extra features ) like the accounts offered by HideIpVPN.com. Anyway, for those seeking for free Canadian VPN, TheFreeVPN is a great solution!
