How to set up the VPN for Windows PC in five minutes
- 1Pick the page for your system below: Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 7, Mac, Linux or Chromebook. Each one names the right VPN client and its GitHub releases page.
- 2Open the Telegram bot and take your free key. It arrives as a vless:// link and a QR code within a minute.
- 3Paste the link into the client, pick the UAE or Singapore server, press Connect. The VPN connection is up when the icon turns green.
- 4Open our What is my IP tool. The ISP line should no longer say Jio, Airtel, Vi or BSNL. If it does, the tunnel is not on.
Hide your IP and keep online security on a PC or laptop
A VPN for Windows does two things. It hides your IP address: sites you open see the server's address, not your real IP, and your internet service provider sees one encrypted session to one server and nothing about where you go afterwards. And it encrypts your traffic between the PC and that server with strong encryption, standard TLS 1.3, so a hotel or campus network cannot read or alter it.
That covers online security and privacy for everyday online activities: browsing, video calls, downloads, banking on public Wi-Fi. It does not make you anonymous to a site you log into, and it does not protect your privacy from the account you are signed into. A virtual private network is a tunnel, not an invisibility cloak, and we would rather say that plainly than sell you more.
Free VPN options for Windows: what free really costs
There are three kinds of free VPN for PC. Completely free apps that pay for themselves by selling browsing data or injecting ads, and usually add data caps and slower speeds to push a premium VPN plan. Free versions of paid services, honest but limited to a few servers, mostly far from India. And free trials of a paid service, where nothing is charged until you decide.
Ours is the third kind: five days, no card, no email, no KYC. Take the key, use it on your own Jio or Airtel line, and if it does not hold up you have lost nothing. If it does, plans start at 109 rupees a month on two years. Premium vpns from abroad cost four to six times that and still get throttled here, because their protocols are the ones Jio recognises.
Which VPN software for which PC: Hiddify, NekoRay, sing-box
- •Windows 10 and 11: Hiddify (easiest) or NekoRay (more settings). Both take the same key, both are free VPN clients with no ads.
- •Windows 7: NekoRay still runs; Hiddify needs Windows 10 or newer.
- •Mac: Hiddify or V2Box from the Mac App Store. Same key as your iPhone.
- •Linux: sing-box or Hiddify AppImage. A one-line config import.
- •Chromebook: install the Android client (v2rayNG or Hiddify) from the Play Store side of ChromeOS.
- •Any Windows device shared with family: each user profile can run its own client, the key covers five connections at once.
Kill switch, TUN mode and leaks on Windows
Hiddify and NekoRay both have a TUN mode that routes every application on the PC through the tunnel, and a kill switch that drops traffic if the VPN connection falls. Turn TUN on, otherwise only your browser is protected and games, Steam and CapCut on PC still see your Jio address. Turn the kill switch on if you use the VPN for anything you would not want to leak for a second.
Run our DNS leak test after connecting. If the resolver shown is still Jio or Airtel, switch the client's DNS to the tunnel's own, which both clients do by default. These are the security features that matter on a PC; the rest of what premium VPN marketing lists is noise.
Server locations, connection speeds and what we do not promise
From Mumbai, Delhi or Bengaluru the UAE and Singapore servers add roughly 40 ms. That is fine for browsing, video calls and downloads, and the fastest server for most of India is the UAE. US and UK servers work for browsing but not for competitive gaming; distance is distance and no VPN software changes physics. Connection speeds through the tunnel are limited by your own line, not by the VPN server.
We do not have servers inside India and we do not claim to. Servers inside the country would fall under CERT-In log retention, which is the opposite of a no-logs policy. We do not promise 100% anonymity, because nobody can. And we do not help with gambling platforms or piracy, both of which are regulated here. If you need an Indian IP address from abroad, that is a separate case covered in the servers section.

Try it on your own Jio or Airtel connection first
Open the Telegram bot and get your personal VLESS key in about 30 seconds.
No card. No KYC. The key arrives in Telegram in under a minute.
What we know about you: almost nothing
There is no account here. You never give us an email, a phone number or a name, so there is no profile to leak, sell or hand over. We know that a key exists and when it expires. We do not know what you open with it. Our servers are outside India, which puts us out of scope of the CERT-In directive requiring providers to store user records for five years. Providers who kept servers inside the country had to choose between complying and leaving, and most of them left. We are telling you where we stand instead of implying we are beyond every jurisdiction, which no one is.
- No registration, no email, no phone number
- No browsing history and no connection logs
- Servers outside India, so CERT-In retention does not apply
- Payment by UPI or crypto, no card details stored
- Nothing renews automatically and nothing is charged silently
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about a VPN for PC
What is the best free VPN for Windows PC in India?
One that Jio and Airtel cannot throttle and that has no data caps. In practice that means a VLESS key in a free client such as Hiddify or NekoRay, with the UAE server, which is what you get here for five days without a card.
Is there a VPN app for Windows from you?
No, on purpose. You use a free VPN client from its GitHub page and paste our key into it. A client from GitHub cannot be removed from a store, and there is nothing of ours to install.
Does it work on Windows 10 as well as Windows 11?
Yes. The same Hiddify or NekoRay build runs on both. Windows 7 is covered by NekoRay only.
Is a free VPN for PC safe to use?
A free-forever app that sells your data is not. A free trial of a paid, no-logs service with an open source client is. Ours is the second kind: no ads, no data sale, and the client code is public.
Will it slow down my laptop?
The client uses almost no CPU. The only slowdown is network distance: about 40 ms extra to the UAE or Singapore, more to Europe and the US.
Can I use the PC key on my phone too?
Yes. One key covers five devices at once, so your Windows PC and your Android or iPhone can be connected together.
Does it hide my IP address from my ISP?
Your ISP sees an encrypted TLS session to one server and nothing about where you go afterwards. Sites you open see the server's IP address, not your real IP.
How much is it after the free trial?
Plans start at 109 rupees a month on a two-year plan, 149 on a yearly one, paid by UPI or crypto. Nothing renews automatically because there is no card on file.
Still unsure?
Support and your key both live in the Telegram bot. The setup page explains which client to install.
