ExpressVPN Launches EventVPN, Free VPN for Apple
EventVPN, a free VPN from ExpressVPN is now available on the App Store. Premium privacy, fast servers, and no cost—a secure VPN solution for Apple users.
The team behind ExpressVPN has launched EventVPN, a free VPN service available on the Apple App Store. EventVPN promises premium-level privacy at no cost, with an architecture designed to keep ads and user data separate.
What is EventVPN?
EventVPN is a free VPN created by the ExpressVPN team. The goal is simple: to provide access to top-tier privacy technology to users who do not want—or cannot—pay for a paid service. EventVPN combines premium infrastructure (fast servers, modern encryption, no-logs policy) with an ad model designed to respect user privacy.
How it works (briefly)
- User validation is done through Apple accounts and subscription proof (if any).
- Once verified, EventVPN issues an access token that allows anonymous connection to ExpressVPN’s infrastructure.
- The backend system does not store traditional user data; connections are managed via tokens so user identities do not need to be stored in a database.
- In-app ads utilize Apple’s mechanisms (ATT and IDFA) so advertising data is separated from the VPN mechanism.
Security & privacy features
EventVPN offers standout features for a free service:
- Kill Switch (disconnects if VPN has issues)
- Servers running only in RAM (do not store data on disk)
- No-Logs policy
- ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption
- Third-party backend audits
- Unlimited bandwidth
- 10 Gbps server network for high speed
- Built-in speed test
- Built-in private browser
Advertising model and privacy
Instead of collecting and selling user data—a common problem with many free VPNs—EventVPN uses an ad model that relies on Apple’s privacy systems (ATT & IDFA). With this approach, randomized advertising identifiers help separate advertising data from VPN connection data, allowing ads to run without compromising connection identity details.
Plans and pricing
- Free version: 1 device, access to servers in over 35 countries.
- Paid version: supports up to 8 devices, access to 125+ locations, introductory price USD 69.99 per year.
Technical support & compatibility
At launch, EventVPN supports iOS 26 and is compatible with Liquid Glass features. The service also relies on ExpressVPN’s latest Post-Quantum version of the WireGuard protocol, bringing encryption enhancements to face future cryptographic threats.
