Free educational content about VPNs. Written by the engineering team — not by an SEO agency. Read what you actually want to understand, skip the marketing language.
Start here if you're new to VPNs. What they are, how they work, the major types, and the free-vs-paid landscape.
Does a VPN make you anonymous? What does your ISP actually see? How are free VPNs funded? Honest answers.
DNS leaks, WebRTC leaks, man-in-the-middle attacks, public WiFi risks. The threats a VPN is actually built to solve.
WireGuard, OpenVPN, IKEv2. Kill switch, split tunneling, encryption modes. The under-the-hood stuff.
Is using a VPN legal? Which countries ban them? What about VPNs on school networks? Informational only — no bypass guides.
Quick definitions: tunneling, encryption, kill switch, DNS, IP address, WebRTC, no-logs. Dictionary-style.
Most VPN companies write educational content for one reason: ranking on Google. The articles you find searching "what is a VPN" are usually 2000 words of keyword-stuffing that ends in "try our 30-day trial!"
We have the same SEO incentive, but the result is different because we don't have a paid tier to upsell you to. Our articles can recommend competitors when they're a better fit (Mullvad for paid privacy, Windscribe for non-US free), explain what a VPN can't do, and tell you when a VPN isn't the right tool for your problem. The goal is that you understand the topic, not that you immediately download our app.
That said: if after reading you decide the free Android app is the right fit, that's how we eat. Ad-funded business model. Honest pitch, no urgency tactics.
If you're new to VPNs, these are the most useful first reads:
Top-of-funnel. The plain-English version of every "what is a VPN" article you've skimmed.
The actual technical flow: encrypt → tunnel → exit. With diagrams that aren't condescending.
When the free tier is enough and when paid actually delivers more.
