How to hide ip: Free VPN Services – The Good and the Bad |
| Free VPN Services – The Good and the Bad Posted: 08 Jun 2010 05:59 AM PDT  A few days ago, one of the my frequent readers (Pilgrim) let me know that ItsHidden does not work as it used to do. For some time the free accounts disconnect every 20 minutes. Moreover, the policy of this service is that no support is offered for the free accounts. The message made me think a little bit about the free VPN accounts and the user expectations. Here is what I think … First of all, VPN services are not cheap to be built and to be maintained. Powerful dedicated servers have to be purchased, qualified admins have to keep an eye on them, clean IP addresses are need, etc. An important challenge for every VPN service provider is the support. For a large number of users it can be overwhelming. That is why some some of the services that provide free VPN are not able to offer support. Most of the time free accounts are offered in order to promote the paid services. After the initial phase of promotion some of the services may stop offering free accounts or limit them, as it is the case of ItsHidden. Some others, like HideIpVPN or InvisibleBrowsingVPN, offer a limited number of free accounts per week. Some other free VPNs are ad-based, for example, Hotspot Shield and TheFreeVPN. These show ads for every page that you visit. Sometimes it can be very annoying. What can you expect from a free VPN service?
My conclusion is that free VPN accounts have to be taken as they are, with the good and the bad. The users always have to keep in mind that they are … FREE. What free VPN services do you use and what are their limitations?Post from: How to hide ip Related Posts:
