This post about free vpn software or free vpn service is the first technology related post after a long time on binaryday even though my previous posts about directx 11 free download, ntldr is missing vista and dual core vs core 2 duo had been quite popular with the users. I have been working on mostly internet related projects for last 1 year or so and that is why I have not been getting many post ideas for technology related posts.

Requirement of a free VPN Service

While working on a project, I realized that some websites are banned in office. Previously I have written about how to use gmail proxy to access blocked websites in office. However one of my co workers told me that using a proxy may not be safe as system administrator is monitoring the usage of proxy sites. Moreover one of the problems with proxy sites is that many of them may get your system infected with virus. That is when I came across the idea of using free vpn to access these blocked websites. Unfortunately many of the top ranked posts about free vpn services had outdated information.

A word of caution about using free VPN service

I have myself worked in organizations that had very strict policies regarding internet usage. Please remember that using websites that have been blocked by the administrator may be looked at very seriously by your employer. Especially if you are working in a client premises where any breach of confidentiality may result in cancellation of contract or imposition of penalty on your company. Hence please use your common sense while accessing any of these websites.

AceVPN

AceVPN is one more free VPN service based on openVPN that allows unlimited surfing. The similarity between the services is not a coincidence since I was specifically looking for a free vpn software based on openVPN for the sake of data security and software that provides unlimited access.
