OkayFreedom VPN

One of the most frustrating things on the Internet is when you try to play an online video, only to receive a notification that it is not available in your country. If you wish to bypass these discriminating restrictions, you can use a specialized application to redirect your Internet traffic through a virtual private network (VPN). In this regard, an excellent choice is OkayFreedom VPN, due to its clean and simple functionality. The application was created with ease of use in mind, so even beginners can seamlessly reroute their connection and make it look like they are from a different country.

The application itself is free, but you have to pay a monthly subscription for unlimited traffic. You can opt for a free plan as well, which includes 500 MB of free traffic each month. What's more, if you invite your friends to use OkayFreedom VPN, you will receive 100 MB per invitation and gather up to one GB of free monthly traffic. The application can be installed in a matter of seconds, on all popular Windows platforms and it doesn't require powerful hardware or additional tools.

Apart from a compact configurations panel, there is no user interface to interact with. OkayFreedom VPN works in the background and it can be controlled through a system tray icon. Clicking this icon will reveal On and Off options, which you can select to connect to a VPN or to disconnect. You can also find a third option, for setting the application to an automatic connections mode. The current traffic quota is displayed in the same menu, along with options for getting more traffic.

Once you select the On option, the application will redirect your traffic through a default VPN. Alternatively, you can select a specific country, in a sub-menu, instead of clicking the On option. Establishing a connection to a VPN should not take too long. OkayFreedom VPN will display a notification once you are connected, after which you can surf the web safely and anonymously. The best part is that you won't notice a significant impact on your connection's speed.

Besides being able to bypass region or country related restrictions, redirecting the Internet traffic through a VPN has other advantages as well. For example, the websites or other online services you visit will log a different IP address instead of your own. It is also a good way to protect your identity against hackers or other people with malicious intent.
