Protect your private data and access geo-blocked websites with the free version of PandaVPN.

A virtual private network is an excellent security tool that protects your data with high-end encryption protocols. Unfortunately, many VPNs are extremely expensive, and some are now charging hundreds of dollars a year for their services. If you have been on the search for a secure VPN that isn’t going to break the bank, then you might want to take a closer look at PandaVPN. The free version of this tool is filled with useful features, and you won’t have to worry about ongoing charges that are constantly pulling money out of your bank account.

This tool was developed by PandaVPN Studio, and that team is known for creating user-friendly software that can be set up and used by practically anyone. To get the free version of PandaVPN, you will have to create an account, but the software isn’t going to ask for any banking information. Once the app has been installed, you can then choose which server you would like to connect to or have the software choose the fastest server. After the connection has been made, you will be required to watch a short advertisement. Following the advertisement, you are going to have one hour of unlimited use through the VPN.

In addition to encrypting all of your data, PandaVPN can also help you access geo-blocked content. Many of the leading content providers now restrict their shows and movies in certain countries, and that can be very frustrating to those who are paying for streaming services. If any content is blocked in your area, then you can easily connect to an outside server in a different country. That connection will then “trick” the streaming service provider into thinking that your mobile device is in another location.

While this VPN can be very beneficial, it is important to remember that it has some drawbacks as well. Watching one advertisement whenever you log into the app can be frustrating, and some of those ads last for multiple minutes. There is also no countdown timer for the hour of free use, and that means there could be a lapse in your security if you aren’t careful. Once the hour is up, you will be automatically disconnected from your server. If you are streaming content from a server in another country, then your content provider could ban or penalize your account.

Some of those drawbacks are quite annoying, but you have the option of upgrading to a paid account. With a paid PandaVPN Pro account, you won’t have to worry about any time or data caps when you are connected to the VPN. Premium accounts also have access to a variety of additional tools, and that includes 24/7 access to a support team for all of your devices.
