## Free through sharing.

$0 subscription charges. Review the terms in the app. Decide whether sharing idle bandwidth works for you.

Windows and Android APK. [Read the sharing terms](https://zenshield.com/bandwidth-sharing-policy).

## More privacy for your everyday internet.

A few useful things a VPN can do on the connection you already have.

### Keep your own IP out of sight

For browsing routed through the VPN, websites see its server’s IP instead of your connection’s IP.

### Add privacy on shared Wi-Fi

An encrypted connection between your device and the VPN adds a layer of privacy. Keep using HTTPS and your device’s security features.

### Choose a different IP location

Choose from the available locations in the app. A VPN can change your IP-based location; it does not change your GPS location.

## A free VPN. A clear exchange.

Zenshield has no subscription charge. Free access is funded by opt-in idle bandwidth sharing. You review the terms and give consent in the app.

### You choose during setup

Downloading the app does not start bandwidth sharing. Read the terms and give consent in the app before participating.

### You can stop sharing

You can opt out at any time. Sharing is required for free VPN access, so Zenshield is for people who are comfortable with that exchange. [How sharing works](https://zenshield.com/why-free).

## Using a free VPN in Mali.

A free VPN does not replace an internet plan. Here is what to check on the connection you use in Mali.

### Check the plan at each border

If your journey continues beyond Mali, check each destination in your mobile package. Roaming, hotspot use and idle bandwidth sharing draw on the connection you actually use; a free VPN does not remove the provider’s data charges.

## Need an IP address in Mali?

Using a VPN while you are in Mali and choosing a VPN exit there are different things. We have not published verified Zenshield exit locations for Mali. Check the current location choices in the app before relying on a specific IP location.

## Questions about Zenshield

[Ask the team](https://zenshield.com/contact)

### Is Zenshield free to use in Mali?

Zenshield does not charge a subscription. Free access requires opt-in idle bandwidth sharing, and your internet provider’s data charges still apply. App access and network rules can vary, so check the connection you intend to use.

### Does Zenshield have VPN servers in Mali?

We have not confirmed which Zenshield server locations are available in Mali. Check the app’s available locations before depending on a local IP address.

### Can I use it on an iPhone or Mac?

Windows and Android are the available apps. iOS, macOS and other platforms are forthcoming, with no announced release date. [Check platform availability](https://zenshield.com/devices).

### What happens after I download?

Install the app, sign in or create an account, then read the sharing terms during onboarding. Consent is required before participation. Use the [Windows instructions](https://zenshield.com/help/install-windows) or [Android instructions](https://zenshield.com/help/install-android) for help.

### Will a VPN give me free mobile data?

No. A VPN uses an existing internet connection. Downloading, VPN use and idle bandwidth sharing can use your data allowance. Check your plan before participating on mobile data or roaming.
