- Amnezia VPN Free is now officially available for users in Brazil
- The free version only tunnels traffic to specific blocked websites and apps
- The launch comes as Brazil has enforced new mandatory age checks
Open source privacy provider Amnezia VPN has announced that its free VPN service is now officially available for users in Brazil. The launch aims to provide an accessible, zero-cost solution for citizens navigating changes in the country’s internet landscape.
Announced via the company’s official X account, the rollout is specifically tailored for the Brazilian market. Unlike the full-service Amnezia Premium, which encrypts all device traffic and allows users to spoof their location across 20 global locations, Amnezia Free takes a highly targeted approach. The free tier uses split tunneling to route only specific, socially important websites and apps through the encrypted tunnel. All other Internet traffic remains on the user’s regular connection, using their actual IP address.
The expansion into South America comes at a critical time for digital rights in the region. Demand for best VPN services have skyrocketed locally this week as Brazil’s mandatory age verification law went into effect.

Targeted access for blocked platforms
By focusing its server resources strictly on limited platforms, Amnezia Free offers unlimited bandwidth and high-speed performance without charging a subscription fee or requiring user registration. The application is completely ad-free and relies on the provider’s customized AmneziaWG protocol.
Built as an open source offshoot of WireGuard, the AmneziaWG protocol is explicitly designed to resist network blocking. It dynamically changes the appearance of traffic, making it highly resistant to deep packet inspection (DPI) techniques often used by ISPs and government censors to detect and block VPN use.

Because the free version is designed solely as an anti-censorship tool, it does not hide a user’s IP address on standard websites. If a Brazilian user discovers that an important site is blocked and currently not supported by the free tier, they can request its inclusion by emailing Amnezia’s support team.
However, the company’s policy explicitly states that it will not unblock resources that contain “immoral, potentially dangerous or inappropriate content.”
For users who require system-wide encryption, the ability to bypass geo-blocks to streaming libraries or support for P2P downloading, the provider notes that a classic premium VPN is still required.
A growing reputation for anti-censorship
Amnesia has steadily built a strong reputation within the cybersecurity community as a reliable tool for bypassing internet restrictions. The open source nature of the project means its code is publicly available for independent experts to review, ensuring transparency.
Its effectiveness in hostile network environments has even caught the attention of major global technology platforms. Recently, Meta’s messaging giant WhatsApp was officially called Mullvad and Amnezia VPN as a tool to bypass censorship, and recommends the service to users who are suddenly cut off from the communication app.
With its arrival in Brazil, Amnezia Free is positioning itself as a safe option for those concerned about the privacy implications of sharing their sensitive data to access age-appropriate content.
By keeping the service completely free and easy to operate, requiring only a single tap to connect, the provider cements its core mission – promoting a free and open Internet for all.
