Introducing EventVPN: A free VPN from the team behind ExpressVPN

Most free VPNs come with compromises. At best, they cut back on features and performance. At worst, they collect and sell your data, turning privacy into the product. For people who turn to VPNs in moments where security truly matters, those trade-offs are risky.

That's why the team behind ExpressVPN has created EventVPN: the first free VPN with unlimited privacy at its core. Available now on the Apple App Store, EventVPN makes it easy to get online securely without handing over personal data.

How EventVPN works

Free apps often rely on heavy backends to manage accounts and user information. EventVPN takes a different approach. Instead of keeping records, it uses Apple account validation and subscription receipts to check whether you're on the free or premium plan. Once verified, you’re issued an anonymous connection token that lets you connect securely, without any personal data being stored or managed.

To unlock a free session, you'll watch a short ad. But unlike typical ad-supported services, EventVPN's model is built around privacy safeguards. Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) asks for permission so you can choose whether or not to receive personalized ads, and its Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) system ties ads to a unique, random device identifier, keeping your personal information private.

Built on trusted technology

EventVPN is designed to give users free access to strong privacy protections. It runs on a streamlined service built by the team behind ExpressVPN, using the same infrastructure standards that have earned trust worldwide. That means you get fast, reliable connections with safeguards you can count on. Every session runs on a 10Gbps server network with no bandwidth caps—so browsing, video calls, and streaming stay smooth and consistent.

For security, EventVPN relies on RAM-only servers that wipe with every reboot, a Kill Switch to prevent accidental leaks if your connection drops, and modern authenticated encryption – ChaCha20-Poly1305 – to protect your traffic. Meanwhile, a built-in speed test helps you find the fastest connection available and our no-logs policy reflects the same standards as ExpressVPN.

At the protocol level, EventVPN uses ExpressVPN’s Post-Quantum WireGuard® implementation. This combines WireGuard’s simplicity and speed with a hybrid cryptographic handshake, helping to safeguard browsing sessions against future quantum threats.

Free and premium

EventVPN is designed as an entry point to online privacy. If you just need quick, reliable protection for one device, the free plan has you covered. You can connect to servers in 35+ countries with unlimited bandwidth, backed by world-leading privacy protections. The only requirement is watching a short ad before and after your session.

For those who want more flexibility, EventVPN Premium removes ads entirely and expands access to 125+ server locations worldwide. You can connect up to eight devices at once and enjoy priority support, all for 69.99 USD a year or 9.99 USD a month.
