My personal favorite in this list has to be X-VPN. The app offers you access to multiple locations, all for free. Yes, there are ads in the app, but to be honest, you’d rarely encounter them. It alsopromises 256-bit encryption, however, that is mostly reserved for premium users, who also get to use the app without any ads.X-VPN also works really well for downloading torrents, which a lot of VPN apps out there don’t support.
