@androidlove as always if something is free the provider has to earn money somewhere else. As far as i know opera collects anonymized usage and traffic data through their vpn service to improve their ad targeting. Also see here https://vpnservice.reviews/can-y...
Hello Product Hunt! This is Zouhair from Keepsafe. Glad to see Keepsafe VPN shared with the PH community. This is our latest app for protecting your privacy on iOS and Android with the Product Hunt community. Our mission at Keepsafe is to make privacy and security simple. More than 60 million people have installed our our apps to keep personal content on their phones and tablets private.
Today we’re introducing another way for people to protect personal space. A VPN (virtual private network) is a tunnel that encrypts and protects your personal information when you browse the Internet and hides your location.
Since recent US legislation now makes it possible for ISPs to track and sell customer data without notification, we think it’s more important than ever for people to take control of their privacy.
We also want to make sure that people can protect their personal data from potential hacks when they are on a public network like a WiFi hotspot in a cafe, airport, airplane or hotel. Keepsafe VPN also allows you to visit any site from anywhere.
We’ve taken pains to create a VPN that’s fast, super private (no logs!) and easy to set-up. You can set trusted networks (like your home or work WiFi), and Keepsafe VPN will auto-connect whenever you join an untrusted network so you’ll never forget to connect.
Everyone gets a free 7-day trial, and you can cancel anytime during this period in iTunes or the Play Store without being charged. After that, you’ll get unlimited, secure connections for $9.99 a month.
Our team is excited to answer your questions on Product Hunt today, and we hope you’ll check out Keepsafe VPN on the App Store and Google Play Store.

@philippberner, @zouhairb and their team at Keepsafe have been brewing this simple, but great VPN product for a while.
Great to finally see it out there.
My favorite feature is to be able to "protect my IP" when traveling outside of the US and still being able to watch 🇺🇸📺 on my iOS devices.
Personally, I struggle with the price. $9.99 is an Apple Music subscription. Hell, that is more than Netflix. It would be an instant-buy at $2.99 or $4.99.....sure...but $10 a month for something I could happily live my life without?!....I just don't see it. I mean I get it....for the people that need it, I am sure it's a great deal. But this price isn't going to help VPN services like this go mainstream anytime soon.
@metalhaze that's a good point about the price. However we think it's a good value if you consider that this price also gets you full unlimited access/features for all other current and future Keepsafe products. There is a reason why we call it Keepsafe Complete 😉

Do you have a desktop solution or is it just mobile?
@metalhaze Desktop version is coming. Mac or Windows, which one do you prefer.

Ideal for airports, and different spots in the city where your phone automatically connects to public wifi. I use it whenever I check my bank account from my phone.
Pros:
It is very easy to use, and it automatically secures your connection, if you wish for it, when you log into and unkown network.
As VPN user I have quite some questions that are not answered on the website as far as I can see:
- What is the speed?
- What locations are available?
- Is openVPN supported?
- What security controls are in place (ciphers?)?
- Can you route traffic via Tor?
- Is there a max bandwidth?
- Is there a max of devices?

Nice design and simple to use.
Pros:It's one tap to connect and with auto-connect, it automatically protects you.
Cons:More countries to hide my location.
