Free VPN: the truth and a fair alternative
There are many "free" VPNs, but free often means you pay with your data. Here are the risks — and how to use a VPN for free without the catch.
| Typical free VPN | GANVAS VPN | |
|---|---|---|
| Logs & data selling | Often sell history and traffic | No traffic logs |
| Ads & trackers | Inject ads and analytics | No ads |
| Speed & limits | Hard limits, slow | No ad-driven limits |
| Your own configs | Usually not allowed | VLESS/WireGuard free |
| Leak protection | Often missing | Kill switch + DNS/WebRTC protection |
What free VPNs risk
Running servers is expensive, so many free VPNs monetise their users: selling browsing history to advertisers, embedding trackers, showing ads, or even using your device as a proxy for other people's traffic. In the worst cases, free apps shipped malware.

How to use a VPN for free without the catch
With GANVAS VPN, your own configs (VLESS/WireGuard) work free and without a subscription — we keep no traffic logs, show no ads, and protect against DNS and WebRTC leaks. Our servers come with a trial. It's the honest middle ground between "free but risky" and "paid". More specifically, see free VPN for Windows.
