Stay connected with your favorite communication apps
Applications and services such as Whatsapp, Viber, Facetime and Skype are blocked in some countries that practice communication surveillance. With the hide.me VPN, you can keep your loved ones close, wherever you are.
Your vacation can cost less
Who likes to pay more when they don't need to. Yes it's right! You do not need to pay more for flights and hotels, as most travel sites show a price based on your location. With a VPN, you can change your location and see which location has the lowest prices before making your reservations.
Playing with international friends is more fun
Using a VPN, you can become a virtual citizen of different countries by connecting to one of the many server locations offered by a VPN service. If you are a player, you know that this is just a pleasure. So, if you live in Turkey, but want to play with your friends in the UK, no problem! Just connect to a UK server and you're done.
Do I need a VPN?
Did you know that when you connect to the Internet, your personal information and online activities are disclosed to your Internet service provider and basically anyone you care about looking for?
A virtual private network (VPN) connects you to the Internet through its secure servers. Once connected to a VPN server, your connection and identity are encrypted so that no one can spy on your activities. With intrusive surveillance and deep packet analysis on the rise, everyone needs a VPN.
PROS:
Advanced features.
Ten simultaneous connections.
Good server distribution.
Strong speed test scores.
Compatible with BitTorrent.
Supports anonymous payments.
What is a VPN?
When you turn on a VPN, it creates an encrypted tunnel between your computer and a server operated by the VPN company. All of your web traffic is routed through this tunnel, using encryption to keep your activities hidden from the prying eyes of the world. From the VPN server, your traffic goes out to the Internet normally. When you use a VPN, anyone watching your traffic will see the IP address of the VPN server instead of yours. This is useful, as an IP address is likely to be very close to its actual location.
SecurityWatch criminals are not the only ones to keep an eye on you. Your Internet service provider is allowed by Congress to sell anonymous user data, but it is not possible to scan inside a VPN tunnel. A VPN can also restrict (but probably not entirely) advertisers' efforts to track you on the web. Since NSA spies already have the ability to spy on the activities of virtually anyone on the Internet, using a VPN is a great way to keep your nose out of your business.
Prices and Features
Unlike most other VPN services, hide.me has a full free tier. For the low and low price of nothing (not even your credit card information!), You can access five hide.me VPN server locations on one device at a time. However, you are limited to 2 GB of data per month.
Transparency report - "We have nothing to hide"
We believe that our users' trust in us is our greatest asset and, as a VPN provider, it is important to provide as much information as possible to help you maintain that trust in us.
We were among the first VPN providers in 2013 to publish a transparency report detailing the different types of data requests we receive from various organizations and authorities. Keeping the ritual, we publish the data for 2018.
You can download the transparency report from the link below and see in detail all the data requests we received from the beginning (2013) until 2018.
Access VoIP services
What more can make your life easier in distant lands than having your loved ones close to you at all times? Well, this is the dream, but unfortunately some countries limit VOIP services, such as Skype, Viber, called by Whatsapp, Facetime or any other type of video / voice service. If you live in such a country, don't worry, as the hide.me VPN provides a solution to overcome this problem. Just download the hide.me app on your phone or laptop and hide your online activity from spy eyes.
Why use a VPN?
What to do in times when the cyber world is dominated by instances of eavesdroppers and mass data collection? When is your data for sale? In scenarios like this, only a VPN can help you improve your online security and privacy.
How does a VPN service work?
A VPN creates a secure tunnel using powerful VPN protocols, hides your original IP behind one and encrypts all communication that passes through the secure tunnel, allowing you to surf the Web freely.
Replace your original IP with an anonymous IP
When the VPN was designed, the sole purpose of the invention was to create a tunnel between distant computers for remote access. And, it was successfully achieved. Later, however, VPN was more commonly used to switch between IPs from different locations. To date, the sole purpose of a VPN is to protect its user's original IP by simply hiding it with one of its own servers.
In simple words, when we connect to a VPN, our original IP (assigned by the ISP) is replaced by one of the IP of the VPN servers. For example, if your ISP has assigned you a London IP (as you are in London) 1.142.35.6 and when you connect to a US server via VPN, your IP changes to 2.354.452.2. This way, your original IP will remain hidden and your ISP will not be able to see any of your online activities.
Encrypts your data
VPN is the best tool for encrypting Internet traffic. When you send data over the Internet, it travels in packet forms. These packages can be easily intercepted by anyone using simple tools available on the internet. See the example of an open letter. If you drop the letter in the mailbox without closing it in an envelope, what will happen? Anyone who can have their hands, will read. But if you drop the same letter, perfectly sealed in an envelope, no one will be able to read it. Encryption is like an envelope for your online communication.

WireGuard is a revolutionary new VPN protocol that accelerates in speed and simplicity. It uses state-of-the-art encryption, such as the structure of the Noise protocol, Curve25519, ChaCha20, Poly1305, BLAKE2, SipHash24, HKDF and reliable and secure constructions. The protocol is included in Linux Kernel 5.6 and has completed a third-party security audit. It is available on all hide.me servers and applications.
OpenVPN supports encryption up to AES-256 for Mac, Windows, iOS, Linux and Android. It has no known weaknesses. OpenVPN authenticates data at both ends through digital certificates or through certificates with a username and password pair. It is proven to be reliable in all types of connections, such as WLAN, wired and mobile. It is incredibly easy to set up and a good option for desktop users.
SoftEther VPN is one of the most powerful, open source, multi-protocol VPN software solutions available for Windows, Mac, Linux, free BSD and Solaris. SoftEther's cutting-edge SSL-VPN protocol penetrates firewalls, encapsulating VPN traffic over HTTPS (similar to SSTP) or UDP to increase speed (similar to IPSec). The security of VPN tunnel is guaranteed by the use of the strongest cryptographic algorithms. Automatic reconnections, multiple simultaneous connections and a wide variety of tunneling methods can keep your VPN connection stable and fast at all times. The SoftEther VPN protocol successfully combines the strengths of the IPsec and OpenVPN protocols to provide an excellent VPN solution. The only drawback, at the moment, is the lack of GUI clients for platforms other than Windows.
Available for Windows and Linux, IKEv2 supports AES-128 and AES-256, respectively. IKEv2 is an industry standard protocol, using the most advanced VPN encapsulation technology. It is resistant to loss of network connectivity in the short term and works with UDP to bypass firewalls and minimize problems. IKEv2 is relatively easy to configure and is the best protocol to choose from in general. It is also perfect for home users who use NAT devices!
The Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol is an encapsulation protocol available on the Microsoft platform. The protocol is based on a combination of two technologies, SSL and TCP. SSL technology guarantees the level of security and integrity of the traffic. SSL is configured on our servers in such a way that only the strongest encryption method is enabled. Since an SSTP session is, in fact, an HTTPS session, SSTP can be used to bypass firewalls or ISP limitation. On the other hand, as SSTP is operating over TCP, in some cases, it will underperform IKEv2 or other UDP-based protocols. Overall, SSTP is a great option and can help you solve any connectivity or speed issues you may have.
