Free peer-to-peer VPN

If you’d like to increase your global access and protect your privacy while online, Urban VPN is a free VPN (Virtual Personal Network) for Windows users. The developer also claims that you’ll see an improvement in internet speed, thanks to their super-fast servers. However, better alternatives include Express VPN and CyberGhost.

Urban VPN is completely free, primarily because its peer-to-peer structure means that it’s the end-users who provide the processing power for the app. Even the business version is free, which could be a viable choice for cost-conscious small businesses. Impressively, despite it being free, you’re not plagued by annoying ads or pop-ups.

Like the majority of free VPN apps, Urban VPN is extremely easy to use. Here’s how.

How do I use Urban VPN on Windows?

  1. Download the Windows app
  2. When the Urban VPN icon appears in the toolbar, right-click on it
  3. Select the country you want to use to hide your real IP address

Is Urban VPN really free?

Yes, Urban VPN is completely free for commercial and non-commercial users alike. Surprisingly, despite being completely free, there are no adverts or pop-ups nagging you to upgrade or buy associated products.

Is Urban VPN good for gaming?

Yes, Urban VPN is excellent for gaming. Being able to disguise your IP address so you appear to be in another country means that you can access any game server in the world without restrictions.

The developer also claims that their servers are fast enough to reduce latency in your internet connection, which provides you with better reaction times while you’re playing online games.

Your next VPN experience

Although it’s free, we’re not convinced that Urban VPN is the best free option. 

Our primary concern is the peer-to-peer aspect. If all users share the processing power, then presumably, everybody’s internet traffic passes through someone else’s computer. We didn't find any information on the developer’s website that confirmed the privacy of that web traffic.

There are better VPNs available, and we recommend Express VPN, which secures your data with AES 256-encryption so you can stay anonymous & safe. It offers a one-month money-back guarantee, and in our opinion, it’s worth investing in online security. In our opinion, only a paid service will deliver premium-level VPN speed & safety.
