Can I use a free VPN to get a German IP address?

Although there are plenty of free VPNs and “free proxies” out there, it’s worth considering how these providers can afford to offer their service at no charge. It pays to remember the mantra: “If you aren’t paying for the product, you are the product.”

In addition to privacy concerns around your personal data, most free VPNs have limited networks, so you may not find a server for the location you need. They are also known to cap data and limit speeds, leading to a less-than-ideal online experience.

To ensure a fast, private, and secure connection for every customer, ExpressVPN pays for a network of high-performance server locations in 105 countries. Our global network of 10-Gbps servers means you’ll experience unlimited bandwidth and blazing-fast speeds. We’re also leading the way with post-quantum protection and other advanced protection features, such as our Threat Manager app and ad blocker feature.

    Data retention laws
    in Germany

    The current data retention laws in Germany require telecom and internet providers to store user data for several weeks. Providers are required to share user data with authorities upon "justified request." Examples of collected data include:

    • Location data when calling from a mobile phone

    • Location data when using mobile internet (WhatsApp, Skype, etc.)

    • Length, timing, and phone numbers of your calls

    • Content and timing of your SMS messages

    • IP addresses from participants in mobile communications

    Historically, German and European policymakers have tried to introduce more invasive data retention laws. They have been blocked by their respective Courts of Justice due to privacy concerns. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has now ruled that EU citizens' traffic and location data may not be stored without cause, paving the way for new regulations in Germany.
