The honest answer

Why is it actually free?

Most "free" VPNs survive by doing something shady — selling your bandwidth, logging your traffic, or pushing you toward a $13/month upsell that quietly kicks in after a trial.

Piligrim survives differently. While the VPN is on, we replace a small number of display ads (max 3 per page) on the websites you visit with our own. The ad revenue pays for the proxy bandwidth — and credits megabytes to your wallet for every ad you actually see.

You see roughly the same number of ads you'd see anyway. They just fund your VPN instead of an ad network you've never heard of.

We never touch premium news sites or sensitive categories (banking, health, government), and we never collect URLs, page content, or anything else you do behind the curtain. Just the bare domain, so we know which ad-network rules apply.

What you should expect from any free VPN

Things we will not do.

  • We don't sell your bandwidth or run a P2P exit network
  • We don't sell your data to anyone, ever
  • No "free trial" that turns into a charge
  • No invented data caps that nudge you to upgrade
  • No telemetry pings home with your activity
  • Open about exactly how we're funded (see above)

FAQ

The questions everyone asks.

Is this really free, or will I pay later?
Free, forever. No card, no expiry, no "free trial" that turns into a charge. You can use Piligrim for years without ever paying anything. The catch is that you see a small number of display ads on websites you visit — and those ads pay for the proxy bandwidth.
What's the catch?
Honestly: ads. While the VPN is on, Piligrim replaces up to 3 display ads per page with its own. They're sandboxed (no cookies, no fingerprints) and you actually get credit for watching them — 1 to 10 MB per ad, depending on your country. The page itself is never modified beyond those slots.
Is my data sold?
No. We collect bare domain names while the VPN is on (so we know which ad-network rules to use), an anonymous install ID, your country (for ad rates), and signed ad-view events. We never sell, share, or hand off this data. Full list and Privacy Policy linked below.
Is this a real VPN or just a browser proxy?
It's a real browser-level VPN powered by Webshare's enterprise proxy network. Traffic from your browser is routed through a chosen country exit; your apparent IP changes accordingly. Both datacenter exits (fast, free quota) and residential exits (earned via ads, look like home internet) are available.
Does it work in my browser?
Piligrim is a Manifest V3 extension. It works in Chrome 110+ and other Chromium-based browsers (Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera, Vivaldi). Firefox is not supported and not planned.
Can I use it on mobile?
Browser only for now — the extension runs in desktop Chrome and other Chromium browsers. A mobile app is on the road but not yet shipped.
How is this different from Hola, Browsec, TouchVPN?
Hola routes your traffic through other users' computers (you become an exit node — read their ToS). Browsec and TouchVPN survive on freemium dark patterns and aggressive upsells. Piligrim uses an enterprise proxy network you never see, pays its own bills with ad replacement, and doesn't sell your bandwidth or push you to upgrade.
