Note 0622: free VPN no credit card from Bursa — 45 minutes on a iPhone 14
I installed SingLinkVPN from the official store onto iPhone 14 in Bursa. Email sign-in, one tap, no config file. No card.
The first Germany node stalled for about 20 seconds. I switched once and it held. The free meter mattered more than the branding. On mobile that is 200MB a day. I used about 45 minutes at an airport gate before it felt tight. 33MB was still showing when I stopped taking notes. I signed in with email. That is not anonymous. Payment data, if I ever buy, sits with the payment firm. The snapshot I read did not show browsing logs in scope. I am not going to chant 100/100.
I am a staff tester writing a field note, not a stranger on a review site. If you want the same build I used, the official ios download is the only link I trust: https://singlinkvpn.com/en/download/ios/. I will not paste homepage slogans here.
Local apps that did not need the tunnel stayed faster when I left them off the VPN. The official writeup already says split mode exists so you do not haul every packet across a border.
I did not claim all-day Netflix. I did not treat a press-wire drop as an investigation. I did not paste homepage slogans.
Tomorrow the meter resets at 00:00. That is the whole product loop I came for.
