Every proxy provider page, ours included, is built from advertised prices and claimed pool sizes. Those two materials cannot tell you what you actually need to know, so this page spends most of its length on what they leave out.
Why a proxy company is writing about VPNBook
We should be straight before you spend time here. VPNBook is a VPN and HProxy is a proxy network, and they solve different problems even though both change the address a site sees.
A VPN takes all of your device's traffic, encrypts it and pushes it down one tunnel. A proxy takes the traffic you point at it, one app or one request at a time, and sends it from an address you picked, with no encryption of its own.
The reason a proxy company has a page about a VPN is that a real share of people leaving one are leaving because they were trying to do something a VPN was never built for: run many requests, hold a session on one address, or appear in a specific city. If that is you, this page helps. If it is not, buy another VPN.
What is on file for VPNBook
You will find them at vpnbook.com.
We price the providers we can source and date, and VPNBook is not currently one of them. The rest of this page is about what to check when you read their pricing yourself.
Find the rate available with no commitment, then find the cheapest rate and what it costs to reach. The distance between those two tells you what kind of vendor you are dealing with.
Their own description, read this week
On 9 September 2026 the site introduced itself as "Free VPN Servers , OpenVPN and WireGuard, No Signup, VPNBook". The blurb under their search result reads: "Connect to free VPN servers in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France and Poland. Server address, username and password included , no signup, no bandwidth limits."
What else that page states, without interpretation:
Payment methods mentioned: crypto and cards. We found no separate pricing page linked from the homepage, which usually means the price arrives by quotation.
Those are claims, and claims are free. They earn their place here only because the date makes them checkable later.
How long VPNBook has been trading
The domain was registered on 9 August 2012, through NameCheap, Inc, which makes it about 14 years old. We pulled that from the registry on 23 April 2026. The Internet Archive holds 171 snapshots of the site, the earliest from July 2009. The current registration term ends 9 August 2029.
None of it predicts success rate. It is here because domain age and archive depth are free to check, and a provider whose public record starts last quarter deserves a smaller first order.
What people actually search about VPNBook
Worldwide, the brand carries about 100 searches a month: 70 a month for an alternative to them and 30 a month for a review of them. Figures read from Google Keyword Planner on 9 September 2026.
The largest share is people looking for a way out, which is the honest starting point for a page like this one.
What a pricing page leaves out
Shared or dedicated changes everything
An address you share carries the reputation of everyone else on it. That is acceptable for some work and fatal for anything involving a login. The price difference between shared and dedicated usually reflects exactly this.
Who pays for the requests that fail
On a hard target, failures are the majority of your traffic. Whether those failures are billed decides the real cost, and the clause covering it is rarely on the pricing page.
The limit that stops the job
Rate limits are often enforced per account rather than per plan, which means buying more traffic does not raise them. Confirm how yours scales before you assume a bigger plan runs faster.
The rows that decide it
Compare on these rows and ignore the feature lists on both sites:
| Question to ask | VPNBook | HProxy |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | Not verified by us, read their page | From $0.44/GB, pay as you go |
| Does unused balance expire? | Their terms page answers this | Never |
| Minimum commitment | Worth confirming in writing before you commit | None |
| Identity checks | Read their current terms | Card orders are screened, and verification is sometimes requested |
| Targeting | On their own terms page | Country, city and ISP |
| Free way to evaluate | Not published clearly, ask before paying | Free proxy list and proxy checker |
A table like this can rank the things that are written down. It cannot rank the thing that matters most, which is how the network behaves against the site you care about.
The test that beats this page
It is a small amount of money for an answer that is actually about your target.
- Take the smallest paid unit each provider will sell you. A free trial works for a first pass, though trials sometimes ride better pools than paid plans do.
- Fire the same batch through both on one afternoon. Different days are different conditions, and that ruins the comparison.
- Write down two numbers per provider: the share of requests that succeeded, and the traffic it cost.
- Take a handful of the addresses you were given and verify their country and type against a checker you do not control.
- Choose on the measurement, not the marketing, and expect the answer to change within a year.
Where else buyers look
If this one does not fit, these are the nearest comparable providers we have written up, each on the same terms as this page.
- Httptunnel alternatives
- Hypeproxies alternatives
- Hypeproxy alternatives
- Ibvpn alternatives
- Iced Out Proxies alternatives
- Illusory alternatives
The disclaimer at the top stands at the bottom too. We are not the answer to "which VPN next". We are the answer to "I need requests to come from somewhere specific, reliably".
What we sell, stated plainly
If you want our side of it: $0.44 per GB for residential, pay as you go, nothing expires, and the free tools stay free. We would rather you measured than believed us, which is why the test comes before this paragraph rather than after it.
