The short answer

VPNBook's web proxy is free, needs no account, says it has no bandwidth limit, and lets you pick a US, UK or Canada server.

It's paid for by ads managed by Playwire, it logs your IP address and connection time (deleted weekly or daily — the site says both), and there's no standalone privacy policy or named company behind it.

About VPNBook

VPNBook, on the record

Facts from their own site and policies — no review-site hearsay. Each one is linked to its source.

What VPNBook does well

5
  • Free with no signup, and says it has "no account, no trial, and no bandwidth limit".[3]
  • Three named server locationsUS, UK and Canada — plus a Random option.[2]
  • The connection to the proxy is SSL-encrypted.[2]
  • Spells out what does and doesn't work on Instagram, including that its mobile site doesn't load properly yet.[7]
  • The same site offers free OpenVPN, WireGuard, PPTP and Outline servers if you need a whole device covered.[8]

Where VPNBook is limited

5
  • Ad-supported, with ads managed by Playwire LLC, which may collect aggregated, anonymized data from visits.[1]
  • Logs "the IP address and time the connection was made", and gives two retention periods: deleted "every week" on one page, "every day" on another.[9]
  • No standalone privacy policy or terms: the footer's "About" and "Privacy Policy" links both go to the contact page.[1]
  • Instagram's mobile site "doesn't load properly through the proxy yet", and apps can't use a web proxy at all.[7]
  • For personal use onlyBusiness use requires contacting them.[1]
Side by side

VPNBook vs a residential proxy

Not the same product, so no row is scored. VPNBook opens a page inside its own site; a residential proxy is a gateway your browser, app or scraper connects through, on IPs from real home connections.

Which one fits

An honest verdict

Use VPNBook if…

3
  • You need a US, UK or Canadian IP in one browser tab, free, with no signup.
  • You want to watch a YouTube video or open an Instagram post that's blocked on your network.
  • Personal, occasional use is all you need — VPNBook's service is for personal use only.

Use a residential proxy if…

4
  • You need a country other than the US, UK or Canada, or a particular state or city.
  • You're using it for business — VPNBook's free service is personal-use only.
  • You need proxies in an app or scraper; VPNBook says apps can't use its web proxy.
  • You need IPs from real home connections, which platforms flag less than shared servers.

FAQ

VPNBook: questions

Can't find the answer? A real person is on chat around the clock, or find us here:

Yes. VPNBook says its proxy is "100% free with no account, no trial, and no bandwidth limit". Ads on the site and donations pay for it.

The connection between you and the proxy is SSL-encrypted, and its privacy text says it logs your IP address and connection time. VPNBook's own advice is to "Avoid logging in to sensitive accounts through any web proxy".

Yes. It runs a dedicated YouTube proxy page and says you can watch "videos, Shorts, and YouTube Music" through it. In December 2025 it said its proxy servers were upgraded "to better support YouTube and social media websites".

Its privacy text says "The only thing we log is the IP address and time the connection was made." One page says those logs are deleted weekly and another says daily.

The server picker offers Random, US, UK and Canada.

The site doesn't name a company. It says only that VPNBook is "Located in Zurich, Switzerland" and gives contact@vpnbook.com as its contact.
