What you get on Free

FollowNet Free lets you connect on iPhone and iPad within a weekly traffic allowance. You can try the protocols currently offered for your plan, pick from the Free locations listed in the app, use Smart Connect, and check Auto-connect, DNS profiles, and Speed Test where available.

How the weekly allowance works

Free is capped per week, not “unlimited forever.” Use the allowance to test real Wi‑Fi and cellular networks you care about. When the weekly traffic is used up, wait for the next period or upgrade to Premium for unlimited traffic under current App Store terms.

Free vs Premium — honest comparison

Free is for evaluation: weekly traffic and the Free servers shown in the app. Premium removes the traffic cap and unlocks Premium locations included in the current plan. Premium is not “stronger encryption” — it is capacity, locations, and convenience. Exact plan details live in the app.

How to get started without a card

Download FollowNet from the App Store, sign in with an email code, approve the iOS VPN configuration once, and tap Connect. No credit card is required for Free. Read the Privacy Policy before you rely on the app for sensitive sessions.

When Free is enough — and when it is not

Free works well for short public Wi‑Fi sessions, travel check-ins, and comparing protocols. Long HD streaming, all-day mobile use, or heavy downloads usually need Premium because of the weekly Free limit. Streaming unlocks are never guaranteed on any tier.

FAQ

Is FollowNet really free on iPhone?

Yes. Free includes weekly traffic for evaluation. Premium is optional and removes the traffic cap according to the current plan terms in the app.

Is the Free limit daily or weekly?

Weekly. Check the app for the current allowance and reset timing — do not assume a daily refill.

Are there ads in the free version?

FollowNet Free is ad-supported in some regions; Premium is ad-free.

Can I use Free on public Wi‑Fi?

Yes. Free still encrypts traffic within the weekly allowance — useful for cafés, airports, and hotels.
