OUR INTERNET, LIBERATED. Freedom makes your internet faster, more private, and completely open. One tap is all it takes. No complicated settings, no slowdowns, no restrictions. Just the internet the way it was meant to be. SPEED THAT LEAVES VPNs BEHIND Traditional VPNs encrypt your traffic but cripple your speed. Freedom takes a different approach. Using next-generation routing technology, Freedom actually speeds up your connection while keeping it secure. Pages snap open, videos play without a single buffer, and online games stay smooth and responsive. This is not a VPN. It is something fundamentally better. YOUR PRIVACY, YOUR RIGHT Right now, your internet provider can see every website you visit, every app you open, every search you make. Many sell this data to advertisers or hand it to third parties. Freedom puts a stop to that. All your internet traffic is encrypted so that no one can monitor, throttle, or profit from your online activity. Your browsing history belongs to you and no one else. ACCESS WITHOUT BORDERS Some websites and apps are blocked by your ISP, your workplace, your school, or your country. Freedom removes those walls. Access any content from anywhere without restrictions, censorship, or filters standing in your way. BUILT-IN THREAT PROTECTION The internet is full of invisible dangers. Freedom scans every connection in real time to block malware, phishing attempts, and malicious websites before they ever reach your device. You do not need a separate antivirus app. Freedom shields you automatically in the background while you browse, stream, and work. FAMILY PROTECTION MODE Keep your family safe online with a single toggle. Freedom's Family Protection mode automatically blocks adult content, gambling sites, and other inappropriate material. Set it once and know that your children are browsing safely, whether they are at home or on the go. No separate app needed, no complicated parental control setup. ONE TAP. THAT IS IT. Open Freedom. Slide to connect. Done. Your connection is now faster, encrypted, and unrestricted. Works instantly on WiFi and mobile data. Automatically activates protection when you join public networks at cafes, airports, and hotels. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO VALUE THEIR INTERNET Freedom is a premium service because your internet experience deserves premium quality. Your subscription funds world-class infrastructure, priority human support, and continuous improvement. No ads, no data selling, no compromises. When you pay for Freedom, you are the customer, not the product.

Freedom DNS's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (28 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
