There are so many times when we want to browse the internet anonymously. There are a few ways to do it including using a proxy server or a VPN connection. Proxy servers are not all that good in terms of speed and features. By features, I mean that some of the proxy sites disable javascript and some of them don’t allow dynamic content. If we use a proxy server, it’s also very slow and not all that anonymous.
The option left behind is using an online VPN service. Most online VPN services are paid services. So if we want to use an online VPN service, we have to buy it first. But here are 5 services that I have come across and have been using over a period of time. So if you are having troubles in opening any website and your ISP or your country is blocking any site, you can easily use one of these services to access the blocked content without anyone knowing about it.

AlonWeb uses the OpenVPN software which is malware free. So it’s pretty safe to use AlonWeb VPN service. Just download the OpenVPN client software below and then download the Alonweb certificate and configuration file.
Copy the configuration file in the config folder in OpenVPN installation directory.
Now register for a new user account on AlonWeb VPN service.
Connect through OpenVPN using the username and password which you just registered.

UltraVPN is similar to AlonWeb. It is also based on OpenVPN service. It is also very easy to use. Just download the UltraVPN client from below and register for UltraVPN service here. Right click the UltraVPN icon placed in the status bar and select connect.

JAP is the VPN service I mostly use now. JAP is a german service so the IPs assigned to the JAP user will be Germany based. JAP software can be downloaded below. It doesn’t require any username or password. Just install the software, run it and enjoy anonymous connectivity to the internet.

HotSpot has long been the best and the only VPN service that was very popular and was easy to use. But now I have abondoned it because of its advertisements that come on while we are browsing the internet. Anyways if you want to use HotSpot online VPN service, you can download it below:
Anchor Free HotSpot Shield 1.17

PacketiX.NET is the latest of my finds and works pretty well. But the problem is that it is a commercial software but the trial version is available. So it can be used freely without purchasing it. Just download the VPN connection manager from below and install it and make a new VPN connection in the connection manager and surf the web through PacketiX.NET VPN service.
Register with PacketiX.NET service here.

I tried several free VPNs and most of them are not worth my time. Dropping connections, hangs up, often very slow.
Currently I’m using VPN from http://www.securityKISS.com since I found them fastest, most reliable and… simplest.
No passwords, no ads, no bloatware.

This one is the best free VPN – witopia No installation is needed ! Set HTTP/HTTPS proxy in Firefox to 127.0.0.1:1234 or set FF to use system proxy.
As far as HotSpot Shield is concerned, I cannot recommend it because it crashes your system after using it for awhile. Users have complained about getting BSODs and unstable computer systems after using HSS.
I was happy with this program for several weeks until my system crashed with many BSODs. It took me several hours to trace the problem before I realized it was due to HotSpot Shield.
I had to uninstall the program and do a system restore to totally remove it.
It used to be good, but the developers have a MAJOR crash bug in the software now.
Avoid until they fix it.
is there any free vpn service or linux?
Windows in not “FREEWARE” in any way shape or form.
You are paying for it in the cost of the computer.
It does not void your warranty if you remove it.
Many, many people refuse to accept it’s very restrictive license agreement and have taken the pains to get a refund for the cost. $100 or more in some cases.
Needless to say, anyone who thinks windows is freeware, has no concept of the computer software industry.
Help? I need a VPN connection for my iPod touch and for my friends when they come over, I have Linux, but connects to the Internet via LAN. Please help me and either email me at or find me on facebook: James McDonald
