VPN with a server in France, from abroad or on hotel Wi-Fi

The France location in Ben's VPN shows French sites a French address while you are abroad. On hotel or café Wi-Fi in France, the hotspot does not see which sites you open. French sites still treat you as a local visitor.

Public Wi-Fi, French apps and overseas France

  • Hotel, café and train Wi-Fi

    The owner of a public hotspot can see which sites you visit. Through the VPN, the hotspot sees only traffic to our server. French sites still show you local search results and maps in French.

  • French apps from abroad

    Some French TV, radio and news apps keep part of their content for viewers in France. A French address makes you one of those viewers. This works when the app checks only your IP address.

  • Overseas France

    Réunion, Guadeloupe, French Guiana and New Caledonia are separate locations. A service for one of them needs that location, not France.

France on public Wi-Fi in 4 steps

  1. Download the app

    The buttons at the top download the version for this device. Other devices have their own builds in the list of Ben's VPN apps.

  2. Join the Wi-Fi first

    Complete the sign-in or terms page of the hotspot first, if it shows one. The app cannot reach our server until the network lets you online.

  3. Choose France

    Press Location, expand the list, type “France” in Find location and choose France. You are connected right away when your subscription is active. If it is not, Connect shows the Buy Ben's VPN window. On our countries page, France is labelled Marseille.

  4. Check the tunnel mode

    Press Tunnel and check that Off is selected. In other modes, some sites bypass the VPN, and the hotspot sees them.

France and hotspot questions

Support 24/7: the chat on this site, Telegram @bensvpn and [email protected].

The hotel’s sign-in page does not open while the VPN is on. What should I do?

Press Disconnect, complete the sign-in page and connect again.

Do I need France on a hotspot if French sites do not matter to me?

No. Any location hides the sites you open from the hotspot. For a nearby one, press the Fastest tile.

Will the VPN make slow train Wi-Fi faster?

No. A VPN cannot add bandwidth that the hotspot does not have. Pages that load slowly without the VPN also load slowly with it.

Can I pay with a French bank card?

Yes. Our website accepts Visa and Mastercard, French cards included. In the App Store and Google Play versions of the app, the store handles the payment.
