- Amnezia VPN Free is now officially available for users located in Brazil
- The free version only channels traffic to specific blocked websites and apps.
- The launch comes as Brazil has implemented new mandatory age controls.
Open source privacy provider Amnezia VPN has announced that its free VPN service is now officially available for users in Brazil. The launch aims to provide an accessible, zero-cost alternative solution for citizens facing changes in the country's internet landscape.
Announced through the company's official X account, the launch is designed specifically for the Brazilian market. Unlike the full Amnezia Premium service, which encrypts all device traffic and allows users to spoof their location across 20 global locations, Amnezia Free uses a highly targeted approach. The free tier uses split tunneling to route only specific, socially important websites and applications through the encrypted tunnel. All other Internet traffic remains on the user's regular connection, using their real IP address.
The expansion into South America comes at a critical time for digital rights in the region. Lawsuit for the The best VPN services have soared locally this week as Brazil's mandatory age verification law came into effect.

Targeted access to blocked platforms
By focusing its server resources strictly on restricted platforms, Amnezia Free offers unlimited bandwidth and high-speed performance without charging a subscription fee or requiring user registration. The app is completely ad-free and is based on the provider's custom AmneziaWG protocol.
Built as an open source branch of WireGuard, the AmneziaWG protocol, is explicitly designed to resist network blocking. It dynamically alters the appearance of traffic, making it highly resistant to deep packet inspection (DPI) techniques typically used by Internet service providers and government censors to detect and block VPN use.

Because the free version is designed exclusively as an anti-censorship tool, it will not hide the user's IP address on standard websites. If a Brazilian user discovers that a vital website is blocked and is not currently supported in the free tier, they can request its inclusion by emailing the Amnezia support team.
However, the company's policy explicitly states that it will not unblock resources that contain “immoral, potentially dangerous, or inappropriate content.”
For users who require system-wide encryption, the ability to bypass geoblocks for streaming libraries, or support for P2P downloads, the provider notes that a classic premium VPN is still required.
A growing reputation for fighting censorship
Amnezia has steadily earned a strong reputation within the cybersecurity community as a reliable tool for bypassing internet restrictions. The open source nature of the project means its code is publicly available for independent expert review, ensuring transparency.
Its effectiveness in hostile network environments has even caught the attention of major global technology platforms. Recently, Meta messaging giant WhatsApp officially appointed Mullvad and Amnezia VPN as a reference tool to bypass censorship, recommending the service to users who find themselves abruptly disconnected from the communication application.
With its arrival in Brazil, Amnezia Free is positioned as a safe option for those who are concerned about the privacy implications of sharing their confidential data to access age-restricted content.
By keeping the service completely free and easy to operate, requiring just one touch to connect, the provider is cementing its core mission: promoting a free and open Internet for all.
