hide.me

hide.me is a VPN service offering both a free plan and paid subscription tiers, positioned around a no-logs policy and features like split tunneling, multihop (routing traffic across multiple servers), and dedicated IP options. Its free plan allows one connection and access to a smaller set of locations with unlimited data, while paid plans unlock roughly 91 server locations and up to 10 simultaneous connections. Paid pricing runs from about $9.95/month on a 1-month plan down to roughly $2.69/month on a 26-month plan, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee and a stated no-price-hike policy after the first term. Apps are available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS, plus browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox and support for some smart TVs and consoles.

Cloudflare WARP

Cloudflare WARP encrypts your device’s internet traffic, routing it through Cloudflare’s global network to improve privacy and reduce latency. It automatically secures DNS queries with DNS‑over‑HTTPS for faster, private lookups. Available on mobile and desktop, WARP offers a free tier and an optional paid “WARP+” tier that leverages Cloudflare’s Argo network for even faster speeds, all with a single‑tap activation through the 1.1.1.1 app.

It supports unlimited simultaneous device connections per subscription, fully open-source apps, and features like multi-hop connections, split tunneling, and a MACE ad/tracker/malware blocker, with strong support for torrenting and P2P traffic.
