VPN Monster is a free and secure VPN client for Android devices that allows unlimited bandwidth.

VPN stands for virtual private network. In a nutshell, a VPN is a tool that lets you connect through so that you remain anonymous while using the Internet. This can be useful because you want to circumvent geo-blocking of your favorite show, for instance, or because you fear a snooping government.

VPN Monster — Free Unlimited & Security VPN Proxy is a unique option in that it is truly free, unlimited and secure. You can download and use VPN Monster as much and as often as you like without cost or limitation. It works whether you are accessing the Web via Wi-Fi as well as 3G, 4G and any other cellular service. It also supports a wide range of VPN protocols and offers a degree of customization unusual in a free app.

Perhaps the most immediately impressive aspect of the app is just how fast the service. Slowness is one of the catches with many free VPN solutions, but that is not the case here. We noticed practically no effect with typical web surfing as well as the streaming of videos from sites like YouTube and Netflix. While we would not recommend gaming via this VPN, even more paid VPNs are not up to snuff in that regard.

Something else that distinguishes VPN Monster from other free VPN apps for Android is that it truly is unlimited. Most have a maximum bandwidth. Upon reaching it, you have to wait until tomorrow or next week unless you upgrade to the paid version. Once again, that is not the case here, and we ran into no limitations even when binging a new show that had just released.

The program even lets you select your server location. If you are an American who wants to watch Netflix via a United Kingdom server, you can do that. As mentioned, the app is also highly secure and was developed to be used by people who live in countries where the government restricts Internet access, spies on their usage and so forth. It establishes secure networks, protects against Deep Packet Inspection and has a broad selection of other tools designed to protect your identity.

Our biggest gripe with VPN monster is that it can, at times, be quite data hungry. We noticed that compared to other VPNs we’d used, the bandwidth was much greater for similar purposes. Perhaps this is due to the additional security layers on a per-packet basis, but can not say for certain. In any event, it is not a deal-breaker if you have unlimited data caps, but it can be quite problematic for the person connecting via cellular who does not have unlimited data.
