Amnezia Free review
A free, ad-free VPN for selected resources, not a general-purpose all-traffic tunnel.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Amnezia Free is a no-cost VPN service accessed through the AmneziaVPN app, including on iPhone. It is aimed at people who want to route selected websites and apps through a VPN while leaving other traffic on their normal connection. The service offers unlimited traffic without ads or registration, and the project is open source. Its fit is specific: it is not designed to send all device traffic through a VPN or provide unrestricted access to every website.
The central feature is selective routing. Amnezia Free sends traffic for chosen resources through its VPN connection, and it supports access to selected region-specific resources. That can suit someone whose goal is limited to those resources while keeping other browsing on the regular connection. The documented protocol is AmneziaWG 3.1. Available regions and resources vary, so the product is a less suitable choice for anyone who needs broad location choice or a VPN that covers all apps and sites by default.
The free plan includes the core offer: unlimited traffic, an ad-free experience, and no registration requirement. The app is available on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux, with email and community support channels. Amnezia Free may suit users who value a no-cost, open-source option for selective routing on iPhone and other platforms. Choose another VPN if full-device tunneling or general access across websites is the priority; Amnezia Free's appeal depends on its narrower, region-specific scope.
