SoftEther VPN is a free, open-source, and powerful VPN solution. Unlike browser extensions or simple apps, SoftEther acts like a network adapter on your computer, routing all internet traffic (from your browser, games, email client, etc.) through the VPN.

For free public servers, search "Free SoftEther VPN Gate" – but use them only for low-risk activity, as they are run by volunteers. Note: SoftEther is legal to use, but using it to violate terms of service, commit fraud, or bypass national firewalls may be illegal in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for compliance.
