VPN, or virtual private network, encrypts your connection to the internet. VPN creates a tunnel from your device to your VPN service provider’s net­work. Your internet traffic goes through this tunnel to the VPN server, and then to the web­site or internet service you are connecting to. This hides your real IP address, and makes it look like your web traffic comes from your VPN service provider’s network.

We only analyze your communications traffic to provide you the service and to keep your data transfers clean. We do not keep any logs about connections established through the VPN service to external addresses. We cannot link the IP address of your browsing destination to you.

Some level of temporary service logging is maintained to prevent abuse and fraudulent use which would negatively impact the service quality of our normal users. Traffic anomalies that look like a potential abuse of our service (such as port scanning, spamming, or DDoS attacks performed by our clients) are detected by our software and will be logged as well.

Added security features, such as Browsing protection, require that the requested URLs are checked by F‑Secure’s systems to verify whether they are harmful and whether access to the site should be blocked. The URLs are checked and not logged. As stated earlier, the specific web­sites that you visit cannot be connected back to you.

FREEDOME VPN, like all VPNs, may in some cases slow down your internet connection. Numerous factors have an impact on the Internet speed when connecting through a VPN. For example:

• The VPN product you use — FREEDOME has been consistently rated among the fastest VPN products in the market
• The distance between you and the VPN servers — however, the closest location is not always the fastest
• The load and number of simultaneous users on the same VPN gateway
• The type of internet connection you have — typically the relative impact on speed is bigger on extremely fast internet connections. However, you often do not experience any difference in normal use and can only see the difference if running speed tests
• The choice of VPN protocol
• Performance of the computer or phone you are using especially on older low-end devices
