Does OpenVPN give free Internet?

So I was playing with a Raspberry Pi 2 with a wifi dongle and I was doing some basic stuff like ping, wget etc.

And I found that with the Wifi Dongle, I had no problems with the internet whatsoever. It was as if I was using a wireless router.

I was wondering if OpenVPN is giving me free Internet. My internet provider says it's an IPTV provider. Is that what OpenVPN is? If not, how would one explain why it's so fast and without any problems? There is a difference between the free use of a local network and the free use of the Internet. There are many ISPs that have no problem with their subscribers running VPNs, but for most of them it's still illegal to run a VPN without the permission of the ISP. If you're using a WiFi hotspot or something like that, it's all legal, but on the Internet it's still a grey area.

The real difference between a LAN and the Internet is that while the packets from one computer in your LAN can travel through the walls of your house and reach your neighbours computer, those packets cannot travel through the walls of your house and reach computers connected to the Internet. The firewall you have at home will stop this, but even if it doesn't you're not going to be able to open up a port that would allow traffic from one computer on your LAN to go outside your house.

But if you do, it will be possible for someone else on the Internet to access your computer from outside, which is the whole point of a VPN. As far as the speed goes, it's because you're talking to a server that's on a different continent. There is an extra hop over the ocean, which is why it might take a little longer than if you were using a local server.

How do I connect to a VPN service for free? There are two main ways to connect to a VPN service. The first is to create an account and then use the website (like ours) to connect to it. The second is to use a paid VPN service (sometimes known as a premium VPN). The following guides can help you with both options.

Set up a VPN account. You can set up an account at most VPN services. This provides you with an extra layer of security when you are connected.

You can choose to either connect to a specific server or use an automatic selection process. An automatic selection process picks a random server to connect to.
