WARSAW ENDPOINTFree VPN for Poland
VPNmine's Warsaw server gives any VPNmine app a Polish IP address for free, over a WireGuard tunnel encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305. We record which server you used and when, never the sites, lookups or content. For Polish banks and services from abroad, and the closest EU address for most of Ukraine and Belarus.
What people use it for
- Reach Polish banks, broadcasters and public services while abroad
- An EU exit within 25 ms of Berlin, Prague, Vilnius and Kyiv
- Encrypt everything you send over public and hotel Wi-Fi
- Keep your browsing out of the twelve months of records Polish providers keep
Estimated round trip
- Poland2-15 ms
- Berlin, Prague or Vilnius10-20 ms
- Kyiv or Frankfurt15-30 ms
Estimates from route distance, not measurements. Your provider's routing decides the real figure, and our speed test measures it in about twenty seconds.
Why Warsaw
Warsaw is where central and eastern Europe interconnect: several large exchanges are in the city, the terrestrial routes from Germany fan out from here to the Baltics, Ukraine and beyond, and a lot of Ukraine's traffic to the west has passed through Poland since 2022. Berlin is 10 to 15 ms away, Prague and Vilnius 10 to 20, Kyiv 15 to 25, Frankfurt 20 to 30. Poland is also the largest economy in the region, so a Polish address is the one most services in the area expect.
Retention, and the Pegasus affair
Polish law requires providers to keep connection data for twelve months, reduced from two years in 2013, and the Constitutional Tribunal has upheld retention while narrowing access. The more consequential story is the use of Pegasus spyware against opposition politicians and prosecutors between 2017 and 2021 under the previous government, confirmed by a parliamentary commission in 2024 and now the subject of prosecutions. It is a reminder that the risk to a phone is often the phone itself, which no VPN addresses. The GDPR applies as elsewhere in the EU, enforced by UODO.
What this changes about your connection
With the tunnel up, your provider sees encrypted traffic to one VPNmine address in Warsaw, so the twelve months of records it keeps show a connection to that address rather than the sites behind it. Sites see the Warsaw server, which reads as Poland and as the European Union. For anyone in Ukraine or Belarus who needs an EU address, Warsaw is usually the closest one.
Confirm it rather than assume it
Connect to Warsaw, then check what changed. Our IP checker shows the address and country sites now see. The DNS leak test shows whether your domain lookups are still going to your own provider, which is the most common way a tunnel protects less than it appears to. The WebRTC leak test catches the browser handing out your real address through an API the VPN never sees.
What we store while you are connected is the same in Poland as everywhere else: which server the session used and when, and nothing about the traffic. The full list is in the privacy policy.
Poland VPN questions
How do I get a Polish IP address for free?
Install VPNmine on your desktop, phone, TV or browser, sign in, and choose Poland from the server list. The app opens a WireGuard tunnel to our Warsaw server, and every site you open afterwards sees that server's address instead of yours. No charge, no advertising and no card required.
Are VPNs legal in Poland?
Yes. VPN use is lawful in Poland and standard in business, there is no filtering regime that targets it, and Poland applies the GDPR as an EU member state. Providers keep twelve months of connection data under national law, and a tunnel reduces that to a record of a connection to one VPNmine address.
Is Warsaw a good exit from Ukraine?
Usually the best EU one. Kyiv to Warsaw is roughly 15 to 25 ms over the land routes, which is closer than Frankfurt or Vienna, and much of Ukraine's western traffic already passes through Poland. For a Ukrainian address itself, the Kyiv server is a few milliseconds closer still.
Does a VPN protect against spyware like Pegasus?
No. Pegasus and tools like it compromise the phone itself, and once they are on the device they read messages before they are encrypted and after they are decrypted, tunnel or no tunnel. A VPN protects traffic in transit from the network. Keeping the operating system updated and restarting the phone regularly does more against device compromise than any network tool.
