Free Tools: AI Network Repair and Network Test
Both tools are free and work without signing in, subscribing or connecting.
- AI Network Repair: when websites will not load, the connection fails or another VPN gets in the way, start a check. FreeGuard tests your network step by step, finds the likely cause and suggests a fix, such as refreshing the DNS cache, restoring automatic DNS or turning off a broken system proxy. It explains each change and asks for your approval before making it. It is a guided repair tool, not a chat assistant.
- Network Test: checks 12 services through your current network: Apple, Google, Bing, Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, YouTube Premium, Netflix, Disney+, X, Instagram (licensed audio) and TikTok. See which ones are reachable, the region each service reports and where access is restricted. The checks are read-only and change no settings, and they check access, not speed.
Everything Else in the Windows App
With a subscription, the Windows app adds Choose a service, whole-PC protection and region routing.
- Choose a service: filter servers for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Netflix, Disney+ or TikTok; servers show Unlocked services tags for the services they passed in recent checks
- TUN mode: routes the whole PC’s traffic through the VPN; System Proxy mode covers programs that follow the system proxy setting
- GeoIP Region: pick CN, US, JP, KR, RU, IR, ID or AE, and traffic to that region goes direct while everything else stays on the VPN
- Allow LAN Access: share the VPN with a TV or tablet on your network by pointing its proxy setting at this computer
- Optimize node after connecting: optional; if your server becomes unavailable or its latency goes above 500 ms, FreeGuard moves you to a server with the same unlocked services
- Built-in kill switch: if the VPN connection drops, apps’ connections fail instead of using your regular network until FreeGuard reconnects
- Everyday extras: hysteria2, AnyTLS or Trojan; a tray icon to open the app and connect; Start on System Boot with Auto-connect on Start; signed in-app updates
Choosing individual apps, called per-app proxy, is available in FreeGuard for Android. On Windows, GeoIP Region and System Proxy mode are the routing controls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the FreeGuard Windows app free?
Downloading and installing it is free, and so are AI Network Repair and Network Test. Connecting to FreeGuard’s VPN servers requires a subscription.
Does AI Network Repair need an account?
No. AI Network Repair works without signing in, subscribing or connecting to FreeGuard. It checks your network, explains what it found and asks for your approval before changing anything.
What does Network Test check?
Whether 12 services are reachable through your current network: Apple, Google, Bing, Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, YouTube Premium, Netflix, Disney+, X, Instagram (licensed audio) and TikTok, plus the region each service reports. It needs no sign-in and changes no settings. A passed check shows that the service responded as expected at that moment; it does not confirm sign-in or playback.
Is FreeGuard on the Microsoft Store?
No. Download it from freeguardvpn.com, the official source.
Can I choose which apps use the VPN on Windows?
No, not app by app. Per-app proxy is available in FreeGuard for Android. On Windows, GeoIP Region sends one region’s traffic direct, and System Proxy mode routes only the programs that follow the system proxy setting.
Does FreeGuard start automatically with Windows?
Yes. Turn on Start on System Boot in Settings, and add Auto-connect on Start so the VPN connects as soon as FreeGuard opens.
Does FreeGuard have a kill switch on Windows?
Yes, built in. If the VPN connection drops, apps’ connections fail instead of using your regular network until FreeGuard reconnects. There is nothing to set up.
How do I uninstall FreeGuard on Windows?
Open Windows Settings, go to Apps, select FreeGuard VPN and choose Uninstall. The uninstaller removes the app and its network components.
