Why is Zenshield VPN free?

When companies perform research on the web, they are often blocked, rate-limited, or shown different information than everyday users. This makes it difficult for them to see the internet the same way you do.

Geonode, Zenshield’s parent company, helps these organizations collect publicly available information from the web. Their work is what pays for your free VPN. You can learn more about them directly at https://geonode.com

In exchange for using Zenshield for free, you allow Geonode to access public web pages through your IP address, under strict safeguards and only for approved research tasks.
