FlashVPN Free VPN Proxy for Android
I gave this app 4 stars when I first downloaded it. But now that I'm using it for some time it has morphed into an add display. I can't even find the 'connect' button sometimes. It use to be clean and quick but now it chews up data by downloading adds.
Free, simple and effective. I use it to enable me to listen to US radio shows that do not stream to my country and it works well for the most part. It does tend to drop out now and then and my phone has also randomly rebooted since installing it but this has only happened once in a week and a half. Ads are a pain but bearable and to be expected for a free app.
La Dee da, la dee da! Lederhosen! Oktoberfest! Very simple to set up, much less hassle than orbot. Connection speed is okay. However, the app does chew through battery life, so bear that in mind. Still very pleased with this app.
Free, easy, fast. What more could you ask? I don't know what others mean by the Ads making it unusable. It's perfectly adequate. Allows me to listen to foreign radio easily. Thank you dev!
Since switching my phone which runs Android 6.0, the Smart Tunnel is always disabled, even when selecting Enable it remains disabled, and this always failing to establish a connection. Is there anything that can be done or permissions that need to be checked for it to work? Previous phone running 4.4.2 still works with no problem.
Not sure about full, upgraded version but free one is FAKE. Although it says that it is connected, it does not, actually connect you to any foreign servers. I have verified it. Just because it says it is connected, does not mean that it actually is. No clue how it has got such high reviews. Maybe users who have used it have little understanding how VPN actually works.
Very cool and great IP address, I really recommend it for you my pals. But just that I can't understand why it brings friends of unwanted country for me, please try and find solution about it. I love flash VPN
Considering the little time span for my anonymous network traffic, i never experienced lag, disturbance or halting! And it is free and easy-to-use! Ads exist of course!
Guys stop saying bad things about the ADS, ads keeping this vpn FREE ,okay isn't the most secure vpn but its doing great job. Speeds are great (almost same as my Internet connection, with vpn 13 mbps Down/1.22 up , without 17 mbps down 3.3 up) your speeds are low ? Just choose server near your country.... For the dev : this vpn uses openvpn scripts ? That looks like
Very straightforward to use, literally a couple of taps through some ads and it's on. The connection speed is awful though; my normal Internet speed through WiFi at home is 10mb on average, this drops it to below 1mb. It's free and doesn't expire like the likes of Super VPN or Ghost, so I'm happy to put up with the slow speed and just turn it off when I don't need it.
This VPN does exactly as it's suppose to do. I've tried many "free VPN's" but those give you a limited amount of MB's to use. And after ask you to buy or watch ads. This one doesn't. The weird thing is... I don't know how they get any benefits from doing this since it is expensive to pay those bills, but whatever, it's doing as its told and I am happy.
This work's on the VPN side works but it drops your internet speed massively when its turned on. I ran test's as i was getting alot of buffering today so i ran some speed test's, i tested 37mbps download speed then turn flashvpn on and retested and speedtest ran 1.02mbps. I ran this a couple of times and all results showed a massive drop in internet speed when this is turned on all testing a maximum of 1.02mbps download speed.
when I use this app my connection is so secure. I HAVE NO CONNECTION AT ALL. total peice of crap fake app. tried it on my phone and 2 tablets. do not do any thing but shut off all network connections. I could do that with airplane mode. I guess you get what you pay for.
Hi can you please help me my other mobile can connect to this apps but my sony mobile cannot.. Pls reply what is the problem. I really like this app but i can't connect :(
The only thing I can access or use is text messaging with FLASHVPN enabled. Why can't I access anything else like Internet browser or any apps?
This app is garbage it does nothing. It say it connected. Second you click tp any other app it disconnected. Some times b4 you get to click off its poitless
This will NOT work at my school in the US. It at first was perfect and would work and was even recommended to me. After a while, it and even my friend's one had just failed to connect to the server.... I wish you would fix this
Worthless! The app shows smart tunnel is on, butwhen trying traceroute i still can see nodes in my LAN. Where is the tunnel then?
It disconnetcs every once in a while, but it works great! Whenever I go to browse the web with it activated and I scroll down Google tells me I'm in a totally different location.
This app is a fraud, once connected I go online then when I check I'm secure the vpn isn't even connected. So what's the point. Use to work in 2016. Be aware everyone. Check your vpn status.
It's the right price for the lightweight services it provides. The banner ads are slightly annoying, but you don't have to look at them all that often.
This app is really cool, hides ur real ip address and creates a fake/proxy for you. Best of it is that it is sooo easy to use, just one tap! Thanks guys!
I think it's working? When I check the Android system for the VPN it provides how long it's been running and how much data I've revived and sent. The app itself is an ad page complete with pop ups on timers but what do you expect with a free app? The best VPN's cost money so maybe that's what they're using the ad revenue for but there's no way for me to know for sure. I occasionally run into a webpage that will refuse to load when it's running but my other apps seem to run fine. TL;DR It's a free VPN that might be working
Pretty good for getting around free WiFi restrictions. Pop up ads don't take over the whole screen, and they don't keep pooping up. The app does disconnect for no reason after a certain period of time.
The app itself is nice, and it works, but it's a little slow. That's good and all but the adds are bombarding. Not only that, but numerous ads are those about "live cams". You should have an add filter to the app.
Gud but disconnect after a while. Need improcment. Its showing connected but vpn not working.
Not connecting since morning. Very disappointing, as it has always connected on the first attempt before. Kindly fix!!
Appreciative...but it takes 2 min to reject all the ads before the connect button appears... Got me back on the net though. Recently in Egypt it is nearly impossible to get online.
whenever i connect vpn..my internet connection stops working..nothing works.. and when i disconnect vpn the internet runs smoothly.. is it an app? Or internet blocker..?? Any fix??
Fantastic. Best free VPN out there, despite only having 40% anonymity. Good enough to stop every day trolls and standard hackers.
Tried to use some recommended web sites to see if actually working but not sure if I was doing it right. Very easy. Simple but not absolute sure if works. Sat7sfied though.
Perfect for watching my Directv while traveling around the globe. Commercials are fewer than regular television although they sometimes start and stop as if having buffering problems. No issues with the TV feed though.
This app says its connected. But most times when you try to do a search. The search bar does not come up to do a search. and when it does do a search it often disconnects you when it arrives at the search. Also when you select your state or country location this app chuts down on you.Also the smart tunnel will not stay on. It swithes on and off. It takes a lot of patience to get this app to work. To much patience !!! There is a lot of problems with this app period !!!
now whenever I choose U.S location I get absolutely horrible speed. I was happy that the location feature was brought back but now it seems like it's of no use since I could hardly surf the net when I'm choosing the U.S location. Please fix it ASAP.
This VPN does exactly as it's suppose to do. I've tried many "free VPN's" but those give you a limited amount of MB's to use. And after ask you to buy or watch ads. This one doesn't. The weird thing is... I don't know how they get any benefits from doing this since it is expensive to pay those bills, but whatever, it's doing as its told and I am happy.
It's clunky & unpredictable. I wish the smart tunnel would stay connected whilst I'm torrenting. 8^/
This is a spectacular & awesome app that allowed me to unblock all content and anonymize IP adresses The people who made this app are true geniuses❤.
A few ads but I don't mind a quick x out. Great privacy especially in public hot spots and WiFi. Great application.
The app disconnect reguraly I have to keep on connecting hence making me miss cals when its off,, can't it remain connect permanently like BBM,,,am on WiFi through out,,,am disappointed with this can't give 5star however its of great help but requires consistence

Great ad-supported no-frills simple VPN. No need to worry about connecting to open Wi-Fi if you use this app! I see comments complaining about the ads, there are only ads when connecting and IMHO a small price to pay for free protection against hackers and snoopers. Think about it, does anyone offer anything "free"? If you answered yes then you have much to learn about the world.
