Free VPN for Windows XP

[Monroe]

This may be of some use for Win XP users in today's world with Win XP being phased out more everyday ... this service is also listed to work with Windows 98 SE / ME also. I used it about 6 years ago myself and now am being forced to use it again in Oct 2025 to be able to get my Win XP computer on the internet with a VPN. The paid service I was using has finally cut off all Win XP connections. They warned two years ago it was coming and the service still works for my Windows 7 computer but I still mostly use my Win XP computer for everyday connecting. 

As I said above  ... I used this free VPN about 6 years ago and I have hooked the XP computer up to the service again. I will say that they have really improved things and the service is great in 2025. Perhaps some of you know about it already but if not ... then you can check it out if you need a VPN for Win XP.

It looks complicated but it really isn't. Spend some time reading everything and you should be good to go. I'm impressed from using it 6 years ago to how it has improved. One word about connecting, if you need an US connection for banking, Tubi or whatever ... they are not always there, just at various times. You will figure all this out as you get familiar with the service.
