X-VPN by Free Connected Limited

X-VPN is a VPN (virtual private network) application developed by Free Connected Limited. It encrypts online activity and masks the user's IP address. The service has a free tier that requires no sign-up, no personal information, and no payment, and a paid Premium subscription that adds dedicated streaming and gaming servers and carries a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Key Features

• AES-256 encryption, combined with post-quantum cryptography

Performance and Streaming

X-VPN is positioned for streaming, gaming, and large downloads. Country-specific servers are offered for the UK, US, Canada, Saudi Arabia, and Australia, with targeted services including BBC iPlayer, Sky Go, ITV Hub, Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, ESPN, CBC Gem, MBC, Al Arabiya, AFL Live Pass, and Stan. One tester reported access to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, BBC iPlayer, and Hulu, and another found that nearby locations connected quickly and kept almost all of their speed, with a drop of about 2% on downloads.

The interface is designed to be simple, with a feature set intended to suit both beginners and advanced users. The Windows version is distributed through the Microsoft Store as a free app with in-app purchases, titled X-VPN: Fast VPN & Secure Proxy.
