OkayFreedom Premium VPN Free 1 Year Giveaway

OkayFreedom is a VPN by the German technology company, Steganos Software. The VPN is available for Windows only. The company offers a free ad-supported version of the VPN, but the paid service is available on a yearly plan that is really inexpensive.

The free VPN gets exactly the same service as the paid plan except that users have to look at an ad every time they connect and disconnect, and have a data throughput limit of 500MB per month.

Although the sales page of the site says that you can use the VPN for P2P downloading, the Terms of Service states that downloading copyrighted material without permission is not allowed. For this reason, we tend to recommend against Torrenting with this VPN. For more information see our VPN for torrenting guide.

Users of both the paid and free service get access to the company's 19 servers.

Does OKayFreedom unblock Netflix and other Streaming Services?

I tested access to streaming services while connected to USA server and the Great Britain server of OkayFreedom. I wasn't able to get into Netflix in the United States either through the browser or through Kodi. I had the same results with Netflix UK.
I could not get videos at the ABC website in the United States, but I was able to watch NBC and CBS. Of the UK video sites that I tested, I was able to watch videos at all of them. These sites were the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4.

I conducted speed tests of the OkayFreedom VPN service through the Windows app. I used IPLocation.net to detect the physical location of the servers accessed for the test. The USA server was found to be in Wayne, Pennsylvania, and the Canada server was located in Montreal. I tested both of these servers on a connection to Miami and compared them to speeds on the same connection without a VPN active on the line.

For a transatlantic speed test, I compared the speeds on a connection to a test server in London with and without the OkayFreedom United Kingdom VPN server managing the connection. IPLocation reported that the UK server was located in Gloucester.
 
In each test case, five test runs were performed with testmy.net from the Dominican Republic.

Privacy and Security

Some of the smaller VPN companies, such as OkayFreedom VPN, don't make technical details available on their websites. Perhaps they figure that their target market is the general public and those people would be put off by complicated facts.
Although this is a good strategy to take for a sales pitch, VPNs offer privacy and the security systems that they use to provide that protection. If providers aren't open about encryption implementation, it gives the impression that they have something to hide. Some VPNs don't actually use strong encryption and so they offer no privacy protection at all. Naturally, it is services that are rubbish that are most likely to keep quiet about their encryption.
