Any free VPNs which can be used immediately?

I need to run some google searches on some names but because of the EU data protection rules, some data cannot be displayed.  I need to be able to search google.com as if from outside the EU.  hidemyass dot com used to be a site anyone could go to and use their data entry box to visit a site and appear as if from another location.  Thats not available now on their web site.

Any recommendations by others of other sites that still offer this for free?

hi

they all require registration.  Are there none anymore which have their URL bar open for users to go directly to a site?
you will register but they are free. If you are trying to hire an assassin or you would like to spy some Priminister than use Tor

Try the free version of this
http://proxy.chris-pc.com/

This is also very useful http://changedns.how/

You should also research turning off cookies and google-analytics
In addition you should get a browser addon to turn off WebRTC Leaks
I would never trust a free VPN.  They're not offering that service out of my-heart-is-so-full-I-want-to-help-people goodness - they are paying cold hard cash for their ISP service somehow.  The only way they can get that cash by offering a free service is by mining your HTTP data stream and selling that information to somebody.  And for VPNs based outside the EU, the EU privacy protection rules do not hold.

I only need it for a one time search which I cannot do within the EU..... for 5 min.....to get unfiltered access from a google search.
Ah, well then that's easy.  Download a copy of the Tor browser.

As already explained, I prefer not to download anything or have to register.  There used to be many VPN websites including hidemyass in which you simply just visit the website and there is a box there to enter the URL address of the web site you want to visit.  Are there no such sites anymore?
