In order to use the Your Freedom client, you need to create an account on this web site first. It only takes a minute!

Please find the YF client version that suits your requirements most from the table below. If you are an unexperienced user or would just like to get going as quickly as possible, then use one of the installer versions. Note however that they may not be the latest releases. The most current version is always the Java archive version. If you are using Vista, please have a look at our FAQ as well.

Note: If your admin has blocked download of .exe files, then modify the link to end in .txt instead.

You should not use older client versions unless you suspect that something has changed for the worse with a new client release and you would like to try a previous version to determine if it's true. Old client versions can be found here.

In order to unleash the full functionality of the Your Freedom client, OpenVPN needs to be installed on your computer as well. You do not need to configure it (which is a bit obscure), you only need to install it with default options (which is simple).

Download OpenVPN from the OpenVPN download page.

Note: It is stronglyrecommended that you use a 2.1 version of OpenVPN for best performance, even if it's still beta -- it's stable enough for us to run it on the servers too!

If you don't want to (or can't) use OpenVPN mode and your application/game does not support connecting through a web or SOCKS proxy, you need a "socksifier". A "socksisier" sits in the middle between your application/game and the network and makes the application/game believe that is connecting normally while it is actually connecting through a proxy (the Your Freedom client in this case). There are several available, some for free, some for a donation, some for a more or less reasonable license fee, and some may work better for your application than others. The choice is yours. The list below is our choice of the available offerings. Some more details and configuration information can be found in our SOCKS howto.

• FreeCap

  FreeCap is, as the name suggests, freeware. The author asks for a small donation if you like it. Download FreeCap from the author's download page. We like this best because it's free and easy to use, and it's good enough for many (but not all) applications.

• SocksCap

  SocksCap used to be distributed for free (non-commercial use) by Permeo but is no longer available from their web page. There are loads of copies on the Internet though, just google for "sc32r240.exe download". The latest release is 2.40.

• ProxyCap

  ProxyCap is a highly sophisticated (and somewhat difficult to use) socksifier. It comes with a 30 day free trial period. A license costs USD 30. Download it from the PROXYLABS home page.

• Proxifier

  Proxifier is also a very clever piece of software. Testing for 31 days is free, a license costs USD 40. Plus it's also available for Mac OS X. Check it out on the Proxifier home page.

• Hummingbird Socks

  The Hummingbird suite contains a socksifier as well. It can be found on the Hummingbird web site.

• Dante

  Dante is the de-facto standard in the Unix/Linux world. It's free. Download it from Inferno Nettverk's web site or just install it as part of your distribution (it's probably called "dante-client").

• tsocks

  tsocks is another Unix/Linux world socksification tool, also free. It can be found on Sourceforge. There is a Mac OS X version as well.
