5 Free VPN Service Alternative to Hotfreevpn

 

In November, 2011 we posted an article about hotfreevpn. Now their free service is down. It’s not a strange thing. Fast VPN service must be running on a dedicated server. Free VPN service requires a lot of bandwidth. It’s expensive to rent such a dedicated server. If the VPN service provider can’t make enough money to cover the rental of the dedicated server, they will have to shut down the free service. A free VPN may be shut down for some users using the free VPN for bt, p2p and spam activities. So please don’t use free VPN for bt, p2p and spam activities.
