In an era where digital privacy is more a necessity than a luxury, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) stands as a critical tool for safeguarding your online activity. While your iPhone is a fortress of security, the data you send over the internet is often exposed. A VPN encrypts your traffic, shields your identity from your internet service provider (ISP), and secures your connection on public Wi-Fi.

While Apple’s iCloud Private Relay offers a baseline of privacy, it’s not a full-fledged VPN. It lacks server selection and advanced features that provide comprehensive protection. For those seeking robust security without a subscription fee, the world of free VPNs can be difficult to navigate. Many free services come with hidden costs, like selling your data or bombarding you with ads.

However, a few reputable providers offer genuinely useful free tiers that prioritize your privacy. We’ll break down two of the best free VPNs for iPhone users that actually deliver on their promises, exploring their features, benefits, and limitations to help you make an informed choice.
