I downloaded a VPN, but it’s asking me to pay

I downloaded a VPN that is supposed to be free but when I try to select the country, it told me I had to pay. I am new to VPN so I’m just trying to get advice.

Don’t even bother with free VPNs.

Are you sure that all of the servers of your VPN provider are provided free of charge? It is not an uncommon practice that they provide only a few servers for free, and you have to pay to get full access.

Just pay. A free VPN is normally bad.

Yeah as others said don’t bother with free VPNs/Trials. They are not that expensive atm some are even cheaper and do the job

I watched a YouTube video that said it was free, but it’s trynna charge me $11. I’m trynna download a VPN before they ban TikTok.

I don’t have $5-$6 to pay every month… I don’t pay for anything, except Hulu and that’s only $1 a month. I also just lost my job.

Look at it this way. The reason you want a VPN is because you don’t trust your network operator with information about what sites you access.

If a product is being offered for free, they are making money some other way, usually selling the data they harvest.

So do you think that makes the free VPN more or less trustworthy than your network operator?

Check their website again on what they actually offer. VPN is not free. If you don’t need to pay, you are the product.
