Review the sharing terms

Read and accept the sharing terms before using the free VPN.

Before you install on your PC.

Check your Windows version and system type before choosing an installer. In Windows 10 or 11, open Settings → System → About. Microsoft explains how to find your system type in its Windows compatibility guidance. Zenshield has not published a confirmed minimum Windows version or processor support list. For an older PC or an ARM device, ask the team about compatibility before relying on it.

Use a computer and network where you have permission to install software and share bandwidth. Free VPN access requires accepting the in-app sharing terms. Read how the free VPN is funded before deciding whether it suits your connection.
