// OVERVIEW
VPNBook at a Glance
VPNBook is free with no signup — download config files and enter shared credentials. The anonymity cuts both ways: you don't provide info, but the operator is also unknown. PPTP (broken since 2012) and shared credentials on an anonymous service is a significant security risk.
// NOT RECOMMENDED
We do not recommend this VPN for any use case. See the warning above for details.
