Unlimited Free VPN – Betternet is an app that that serves as a proxy to let you access sites that your system or network blocks from view.

Whether you attend school or work in a full-time or part-time job, you may find that the network you use at work or school blocks certain websites. Many employers block access to sites like Reddit and Facebook, which they call time wasters because of the amount of time that workers waste on those sites. Your school may limit some of the same sites and keep you from doing searches for basic keywords that it deems dangerous. Even if you use your phone, the network will still limit what you can do.

The Unlimited Free VPN – Betternet app works like a VPN and creates a proxy that changes your settings to show that you are in a different location. This lets you use the same network as others at work or school without the network limiting what you can do. Some kids even use apps like this to get around the controls that their parents or cell phone providers set up on their phones.

This app is really easy to use and will never ask for information about you. It does not require that you pay for the service or attach a card to your phone, and it doesn't even ask for an email address or password. When you want to use the app, you simply open it, wait for the app to load and hit the connect button located in the center of the screen. The app will then create a VPN for you that lets you visit almost any site on your phone. You can press the disconnect button once you finish surfing to turn the app off before you close it.

With Unlimited Free VPN – Betternet, you also get the anonymity that you want when online. You might hear about something called doxxing, which occurs when someone on the web tracks down the IP number of a user and uses that number to find out the person's real name, address, phone number and other information. As the app changes your location, it also changes your IP address to keep this from happening. Unlimited Free VPN – Betternet gives you access to almost all websites and keeps you safe online.
