K2VPN is offered free of charge. To support the service, we work with third party advertising partners, including search providers. This addon updates your search settings and changes your search engine to be powered by Bing. When searching with K2VPN, you are not anonymous, and your search results may still be based on your actual location. K2VPN is meant for private search access through the addon, not for making all normal browser traffic anonymous.
