Free VPN Slovakia from UrbanVPN

Slovakia has one of the highest Internet penetration rates in the world, with over 80 percent of the population using the internet. There are no official government restrictions on internet access, and no recent reports of unlawful monitoring of online activity.



Slovakia has a stable parliamentary system, under which civil rights and liberties are respected. The country's constitution protects freedom of speech and press, although in some cases the government limits these rights aiming to limit extremist groups. It is legal and common practice for Slovakian authorities to monitor websites known to contain hate speech.

New legislation was made back in 2011, allowing the Slovakian tax office to block servers providing international online gambling. Additionally, a revision of a communication law was suggested, looking to create a list of banned websites to be blocked by Internet service providers in Slovakia. Simply put, this revision will give the tax office the power to decide and order which websites will be blocked.



Critics of these proposals have argued that this step is being taken as an attempt to prevent citizens from gambling on international websites, aiming to maintain the spending and tax payments in the Slovak republic. Moreover, the opposers fear this may lead to the blocking of social media sites like Twitter, since it provides a partial platform for online roulette and poker games. Using a VPN to switch to a non-Slovak IP address can help internet users avoid government online filters and blocking.



Urban VPN abides by a complete no-logging policy, allowing you to access all websites, social media platforms, and apps with no restrictions and without tracing your activity. Urban VPN encrypts your connection and allows you to replace your IP address with an IP address from the geolocation of your choice, so you can securely browse the internet without any concern that the government, your internet service provider, or any prying third party can monitor your online activities.
