Is there a free VPN for Android?

Is there any Free Android VPN that I can download that will work perfectly with the Google Play Music? I see this article: But NordVPN was not listed there. Is there another out there I can use? There are several VPNs that claims to be "free" but it means "free for trial": Nord, SurfEasy, VPNArea, etc. They all use the same core and have different skins, so you don't end up using the original program on your device. I personally like Nord, in my opinion it has the most solid free version. It's a little heavy (the client) but if you're willing to invest a little time, you'll like it.

It can also access files of your device, if you have them in a location accessible from the app: you go to the folder containing them, find the file and then select it from the app. There is no password or anything though, and if you want to keep them private, I suggest you upload them on DropBox or something similar (Google Drive also allows it).

Does Android have built-in VPN?

I'm curious if Android has some sort of built-in VPN that works with your standard 3G or WiFi data connection? I know it can do VPN, but is there an option to just use standard data and Wi-Fi connectivity? From what I can tell, you'd just connect via Wi-Fi to your VPN server, and then connect to your device via the provided mobile network. Is there really no way to have a direct connection between the Android device and the VPN server? I don't know about other VPNs, but I've used Private Internet Access (PIA). PIA isn't really a proxy service, rather it uses OpenVPN to provide a secure tunnel through whatever network(s) you need to reach.

It appears you might be looking for something similar, or at least able to communicate over the internet for whatever purpose you may have. If you need help setting it up, feel free to give me a shout and I can go into more detail. Android doesn't come with pre-installed VPN software, and probably won't for some time yet (it's probably on people's wish lists for the next Ice Cream Sandwich release). If you need something that's already pre-installed, there are a number of VPN apps that should get you going in about 3 minutes, including the new Google IO VPN app.
