Virtual private networks are a great invention and every Internet user should use one. Whether you are connecting to the Internet from your desktop computer, laptop or smartphone, you need to make sure your identity and data are protected from malicious snoopers.
Nowadays, most of our online activities are carried through our smartphones. They are mobile devices, small, easy to carry around and smart enough to be able to do almost everything our computers can, including streaming our favorite shows, accessing social media platforms and so on. But that also means they are exposed to the same online threats as our computers. Read more about the benefits of using a VPN.
If you want to see what a VPN can do for you, but you are not willing to pay for one just yet, you can always try to find a free, reliable VPN provider.
One good option to consider when looking for a trust-worthy free VPN provider for your smartphone (and not just that) is Zero VPN.
Zero VPN is a free application designed for smartphones, by a company based in Hong Kong. But what you should know right from the start is that Zero VPN was developed for Android devices only. You can download it from Google Play and it won’t cost you a cent, as its name suggests it.
One of the biggest advantages with Zero VPN, aside from the fact that it’s free, is the fact that it doesn’t require any personal information from you. You don’t have to register, give your personal info, payment details and so on. That means you remain anonymous and with your privacy intact.
Zero VPN is a very user-friendly app and has servers all around the world, which is impressive for a smartphone app. They have servers in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.
How to install Zero VPN on your Android phone
Installing ZeroVPN on your Android smartphone is very straightforward. You just have to go to Google Play and download the Zero VPN app, which has 4.5MB. You just open the app, choose a server and you’re good to do.
In addition to encrypting your data and making your connection secure, Zero VPN can also help you access restricted videos, games that are blocked, apps such as Facebook, YouTube, Skype, Pandora and more.
Zero VPN is free for an unlimited period of time and has no traffic limit, which is a big deal for a free VPN. It also respects your privacy.
How to use Zero VPN with your Windows PC
Although Zero VPN was developed for Android devices, it can also be used on Windows PCs. There is no direct app you can use, but you can use an Android emulator to be able to install it. An Android emulator tricks your PC into supporting software that is normally developed for a different operating system. One of the best Android emulators you can use is BlueStacks, because it is very user-friendly. Once you download it and install it, you type Zero VPN into the search bar and download that one, too. Then the rest is the same as with your Android smartphone.
