Completely free, WireGuard-powered, and ad-supported — the most fun VPN we tested.
ClownVPN achieved 67.8 Mbps on WireGuard in our July 2026 benchmark — the lowest in our 18-provider group, expected for a free ad-supported service where servers are shared across all users. Still functional for HD streaming, browsing, and general use.

ClownVPN's marketing is irreverent — "Fed Approved," "Goblin Mode Active," "Certified W Rizz" — but the underlying technology is legitimate. WireGuard is the default protocol with AES-256 encryption. The kill switch drops all traffic if the tunnel disconnects. Split tunneling routes only selected apps through the VPN. We ran our standard DNS, WebRTC, and IPv6 leak tests: no leaks on Windows 10 or 11.
ClownVPN sustains its free model through in-app advertising rather than data monetisation. The no-logs policy states that connection metadata, IP addresses, and browsing activity are not stored. We cannot independently audit a no-logs claim at this scale without a third-party audit — users should factor this in when deciding how much trust to place in any free VPN service. For casual privacy use, it's a solid option; for high-stakes privacy needs, a paid audited provider is more appropriate.
