VPN for iPhone, iPod, iPad : Free

Tweet

VPN services are getting very common these days to protect one's identity online! And if you are one of those who uses a lot of internet on your Gadgets apart from a computer, i.e. on your iPad, iPhone or the iPod, then you also need to secure your internet usage on these devices. There are various paid and free VPN services available for the Desktop computers or laptops, but not for handheld devices. There are some available for a cost for the iPhone, iPod or the iPad. I recently found a free VPN service for the iPhone, iPod or the iPad and it is working pretty good on my iPod Touch 3rd Generation.



Here is a tutorial on how to set up a VPN on your iPhone, iPod or the iPad. The procedure is the same for all the devices. The procedure is divided into two parts. One part on your computer and the other on your iPhone. Let's begin with the first part now!

Get Free VPN Access - Register

• First, you will have to go to Very Fast VPN and register for an account.


• After you have completed the registration process, login to your account and visit this link to find a server for yourself. Since you have signed up for a free trial, make sure you choose the server which says Free Trial  next to it.
  


•  By finding a server, I just meant note down the IP Address of the server provided there.

Well, this concluded the first part of the tutorial. Now to set up this VPN on your iPhone, proceed to the next part of the post!

Set up Free VPN on iPhone

• I hope you have the server address which you copied in the previous step. Now, on your iPhone, open settings and go to General.
  


• Then choose Network and then VPN.
  


• Then choose Add VPN Configuration and do the following settings. Make sure you put the correct IP Address and the username and password otherwise it will not work! In the field marked Secret, enter "veryfastvpn" without the quotes. And make sure that Proxy is set to "Off"
  


• Now on the page that appears, choose VPN On but before that, make sure you are connected to a WiFi or a 3G Network.


• If you did everything as guided, you will see something like this!
  

 

There is just one drawback of this free Service that it is a trial period of about 2 Hours. It is not 2 hours of usage it is 2 hours from the time of registering your account. So, register your account when you are going to use the VPN Service on your iPhone or iPod! Choose wisely.
