Question 1

Is FreeGuard's free VPN compatible with both Windows 10 and Windows 11 including the latest updates and what are the key considerations and potential limitations that I should be aware of before proceeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FreeGuard supports Windows 10 (version 1903 and later) and all versions of Windows 11. We test compatibility with each major Windows update.

Question 2

Does the Windows version of FreeGuard VPN include a kill switch that works at the system firewall level and what should I expect in terms of performance and reliability?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FreeGuard uses the Windows Filtering Platform to implement a system-level kill switch that blocks all traffic if the VPN drops, including traffic from all applications.

Question 3

How do I prevent Windows DNS leaks when using FreeGuard VPN with Smart Multi-Homed Name Resolution enabled and what are the most important things I should know about this?

Accepted Answer

FreeGuard automatically disables Smart Multi-Homed Name Resolution when connected and routes all DNS through the VPN tunnel. No manual configuration is needed.

Question 4

Can I set FreeGuard VPN to start automatically when my Windows computer boots up each morning and what are the key considerations and potential limitations that I should be aware of before proceeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enable 'Launch at startup' and 'Auto-connect' in Settings. FreeGuard will start minimized and connect to your preferred server automatically when Windows starts.

Question 5

Does FreeGuard VPN for Windows work with the built-in Windows Defender antivirus without creating any conflicts and what are the key considerations and potential limitations that I should be aware of before proceeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FreeGuard is compatible with Windows Defender and all major antivirus software. The installer configures firewall exceptions automatically to prevent conflicts.

Question 6

How much disk space and system resources does FreeGuard VPN use while running in the background on Windows and what are the most important things I should know about this?

Accepted Answer

FreeGuard uses approximately 50 MB of disk space and 30-60 MB of RAM while running. CPU usage is minimal (under 1%) thanks to hysteria2's kernel-level processing.

Question 7

Can I use FreeGuard VPN alongside other networking software like Hyper-V virtual machines or WSL on Windows and what are the most important things I should know about this?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FreeGuard is compatible with Hyper-V, WSL 2, and virtual machine software. The VPN tunnel protects traffic from virtual machines when they use the host's network adapter.

Question 8

How do I completely uninstall FreeGuard VPN from my Windows computer if I no longer need the free tier and what are the most important things I should know about this?

Accepted Answer

Use Windows Settings → Apps → FreeGuard VPN → Uninstall. This removes the application, tunnel adapter, and firewall rules. No residual files or registry entries remain.
