RageVPN ( For Android) Review

[Tomsonn]

Hey guys,

Recently I installed a free VPN app in my android phone named RageVPN. Its a Cyprus based team that provides, surprisingly, a truly free VPN service that brings privacy safety for online surfing and allow me to watch and surf content that would usually be restricted in my country. I personally consider it as one the best free VPN apps for android since it doesn’t require credit card or any payment. It’s a completely free service that give you a lot of counties to choose from. It doesn’t even require a registration or sign-in. Its been online for about 2 weeks and already falls into the category of 10,000 - 50,000 installs all over the world – so I guess I’m not the only one thinking that. this app has lots of good features for a user.


Pros
• No registration or sign-in
• No payment, completely free
• Servers from many different locations all over the world
• Bypassing pass geo-restrictions, censorship, internet filters to access apps and websites
• Have an unlimited bandwidth for unlimited time without asking you to pay extra for premium
• They have a no-logs policy which means data is not saved on their servers

Cons
• Only available in play store, no version for iOS is launched yet.
• iOS version will be available soon.
• Can’t use it on a computer yet (I’ve contacted them and they said they are working on Mac/PC versions)

Rage VPN protects your personal information and prevents monitoring of your ISP or government. You can access contents you want from anywhere in the world either its streaming movies, TV series, sports shows are or even YouTube in some blocked countries easier than before.

Here you can dl it to your Android device:

Enjoy!

Since it's free, how do they finance their service, pay for their servers and their bandwidth?

Like the old adage - there's always a product - if one pays for it, they own it, but if it's free... there's always a way to monetize things.

Google and Facebook are free, and provide some level of utility - but one still pays a price...

With Google and Facebook at least, you know where things stand. But with those small VPN providers, things can become more worrying. There's been a few articles on how quite a few free VPN providers installed malicious software on your mobile device to monetize things, be it through ads injection or redirection (replacing someone else's ads with their own), running bitcoin miners, grabbing a list of your contacts and sending them to the company so they can resell them for spam databases, etc...

If it's free and it comes from an unknown company, do some digging to avoid any nasty surprises. I heard that even the formerly popular Hotspot Shield (I've used it a bit myself back in the day) has done a few less-than-ethical things with their service, and got caught for it.

yep - and consider certain 3 and four letter agencies that might have an agenda - if they issue the certs, they can decode the traffic

hey guys

I'm Ace and I work @ RageVPN.com

To answer your main question obviously we are not working for free, we just have a different business model which consists of providing this service for free (forever) while the revenue for server costs and development time is being compensated from the ads shown in the app.

yes, ads can be annoying, but for the few milliseconds it takes tapping an X button, we believe gaining a complete online privacy solution is worth it.

We do not ask for personal information or require any type of registration / payment details from our users
no logs are being kept on the servers at all and no information is shared with or sold to 3rd parties.

+ we try to provide as many locations as possible around the world and we use the latest encryption technology.

Feel free to ask any questions.
