This video will teach you how to add a free VPN to your Windows 10 PC step by step. A VPN, or virtual private network, encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server in another location. This makes it more difficult for third parties to track your online activity and access your personal data.
There are many free VPN services available, but it is important to choose one that is reputable and offers good security features. In this video, you will learn how to add a free VPN from a trusted provider to your Windows 10 PC.
The video will cover the following steps:
Choose a free VPN service.
Download and install the VPN software.
Create a VPN account (if required).
Configure the VPN connection.
Connect to the VPN server.
Once you are connected to the VPN server, your internet traffic will be encrypted and routed through the VPN server. This will help to protect your online privacy and security.
The video will also provide tips on how to use your VPN safely and effectively. For example, it is important to only connect to trusted VPN servers and to avoid using VPNs for illegal activities.
If you are looking for a way to improve your online privacy and security, this video is a great place to start. It will teach you how to add a free VPN to your Windows 10 PC in just a few simple steps.

0:36
And it will hide your identity by replacing your IP address with another IP address
0:41
Now the best part is, we will see how you can block ads, pop-ups and malware content using a VPN

You can learn more about it by clicking the links in the description. I'm Brian from Website Learners and let's get started
1:15
Now we can set VPN on your computer in two methods. In the first method, we will be using WinScribe
1:20
Windscribe is a well-known free desktop application and VPN extension that blocks ads, trackers
1:27
gives you access to block content on the web and also helps you change your IP address
1:31
to different locations. So before we use this VPN, first let's check our current IP address
1:36
To do that, enter what is my IP and here you can see that this is our IP address
1:43
Okay, now let's go ahead and get the Windscribe VPN. So to get the winscribe extension
1:52
Just go to the video you are watching right now, And click this link. And it will take you to this website
2:00
Now click download winscribe. Here select chrome. Now to add the extension to your chrome browser
2:10
Click add to chrome. And a pop up appears. Now click add extension
2:20
And the extension gets added to your chrome browser. Now for easy access, you can pin this extension on the top of your chrome browser like this
2:30
So just click the extension icon in the top right corner of the chrome window. And click here
2:39
And you can see that the WinScribe extension is pinned to the browser for easy access
2:44
Now click the WinScribe extension. And click get started. Here you can see that it is asking us to select a plan
2:55
Let's select the free plan. And it will ask you to create an account
3:02
So to create it, enter a username and password. Now enter your email
3:15
And click create account. Okay, so now we have created the account
3:21
Now to use the VPN let select winscribe here Then click login Here enter the same username and password which you used while creating the account on winscribe
3:40
And again, click login. Once you do that, you can see that the VPN is on and we are automatically connected to the nearest server
3:50
Now to check it, let's go back to this tab. And here you can see that this is our previous IP address
3:59
Now if we click refresh, you can see that we have the same IP address that was shown in the nearest server
4:08
Okay, let's say you want to change your IP address to a different location so that it will appear as if you're surfing the internet from a different country
4:16
To do that, just go to a new tab. Click the WinScribe extension
4:24
Now click the location icon. Choose a location. And click on a city
4:35
Now a new IP address gets generated. And you can now get the contents on the internet which are available at this location
4:41
Okay, now using this IP address, You can surf the internet only up to 2GB of data
4:47
This means, once you finish 2GB of data browsing, the VPN will not work for you
4:53
So to get more data for free, you need to verify your email, which you used to create the WinScribe account
5:00
So to verify it, Let's go to our Gmail inbox. And here you can see that we have got a mail from WinScribe
5:09
So let's open it. Click confirm email. And now we can browse up to 10 GB using the VPN
5:22
To check that, let's again click WinScribe. And you can see that we have a 10 GB limit
5:30
Now you will get this 10 GB every month. So if you run out of data, you'll have to wait till the next month for it to renew
5:37
Okay, once you've enabled VPN, let's see how it performs on our browser
5:42
Let's go to a new tab. And type speedtest.net Now press enter
