Why I Built OllaVPN: A Free VPN Designed for Privacy First
VPNs are everywhere, but I wanted to build one around a simple idea:
Privacy shouldn't be a premium feature.
That's the idea behind OllaVPN — a modern, privacy-first VPN with a genuinely free plan and a security stack designed for today's internet.
🔐 What makes OllaVPN different?
OllaVPN isn't designed around selling "premium countries" or locking basic security features behind a subscription.
The free plan includes:
- Post-quantum-ready key exchange
- Kill switch enabled by default
- In-tunnel DNS protection
- Peer isolation
- Zero activity logs
- All available countries unlocked
- No credit card required
The same core security stack is available across the plans. Paid plans are mainly about higher speeds, more devices, and additional features.
🛡️ Built for the next generation of privacy
One of the things that makes OllaVPN interesting is its post-quantum-ready handshake.
The idea is simple: encrypted traffic captured today could potentially be targeted by more powerful computers in the future.
OllaVPN uses a hybrid post-quantum key exchange so connections are designed with that future threat in mind.
Security isn't something you should have to remember to enable either.
The kill switch is enabled by default, DNS requests stay inside the encrypted tunnel, and peer isolation prevents other VPN users from directly reaching your device.
🌎 Free doesn't mean "limited to a few countries"
OllaVPN's free tier doesn't use the typical "upgrade to access better countries" model.
The free plan provides access to the available network, with a 10 Mbps speed cap and one device at a time.
If you need higher speeds or more devices, the paid plans are there — but the fundamental privacy protections don't disappear when you're using the free plan.
💻 Available today
The Windows application is available now.
The installer is self-contained, so there's no separate driver or second VPN application to install.

🔍 Privacy should be verifiable
A VPN shouldn't ask you to simply trust a marketing slogan.
That's why OllaVPN focuses on explaining how its security architecture works — from the post-quantum handshake and WireGuard-based tunnel to DNS protection, kill-switch enforcement and peer isolation.
There are also free privacy tools available on the website for checking things like your public IP, WebRTC leaks and DNS records.
🚀 Try it yourself
If you're looking for a VPN without a complicated pricing wall around basic privacy features, give OllaVPN a try.
Free forever. Privacy-first. Post-quantum-ready.
