Is there a free VPN for PC?

Yes. You can use NordVPN free for 30 days after signing up for an account. If you cancel within 29 days of signing up you’ll receive a full refund as part of our free 30-day trial. Never use a VPN advertised as free, they make their money from selling your data to third-parties, and use subpar encryption, risking your privacy and security.

Yes, Windows 10 does have the ability to function as a virtual private network. However, it does require some manual configuration and technical know-how to set it up on your PC.
