Cloudflare announced it will offer an OHTTP Gateway as a paid add-on for customers' zones, allowing businesses to receive Oblivious HTTP traffic without seeing users' IP addresses. The product complements Cloudflare's existing Privacy Gateway relay service, launched in 2022, and is open for waitlist registration ahead of its fall release.

Free VPN services aren't simply schemes to sell user data; some reputable providers offer limited free tiers hoping users will upgrade, while others monetize through ads or unclear data practices. A VPN encrypts traffic between your device and its server, hiding your destinations from your ISP, but it doesn't make you anonymous since sites can still track you via accounts and cookies. Choosing a free VPN means evaluating the provider's business model and privacy tradeoffs, not just the lack of a price tag.
