Who Owns Turbo VPN

Turbo VPN's site names its operator as Innovative Connecting Pte. Ltd., a company registered in Singapore with a Singapore business number and a Marina View address. Taken alone, that reads as a straightforward Singaporean app developer.

Corporate filings extend the chain. Singapore records list Innovative Connecting's shareholder as Lemon Seed Technology Ltd., registered in the Cayman Islands. The Chinese security company Qihoo 360 reported in its 2019 annual report that it had acquired Lemon Seed together with two related Singapore entities, one of which develops a second VPN app sharing directors and site assets with Turbo VPN.

Two later events are matters of public record rather than interpretation. The US Commerce Department added Qihoo 360 to a restricted entity list in 2020 on national security grounds, and the US Department of Defense listed the company among Chinese military-linked companies operating in the US in 2022. None of that describes what the Turbo VPN app does on your phone. It does describe who is in a position to decide what it does, which is the question a VPN's ownership is asked to answer.

Protocols and Encryption

Turbo VPN's site lists IKEv2, OpenVPN UDP and L2TP-IPsec. That is a serviceable set, and OpenVPN in particular is a properly reviewed protocol. It is also a conservative one: WireGuard, which most of the providers above it in these rankings have run for years, is not among the protocols it advertises, and the spec table above now reflects that.

There is no published independent audit of the no-log claim. For a provider whose ownership question is the main thing readers arrive with, an audit is exactly the evidence that would help, and its absence is the reason the privacy score sits where it does. See our scoring methodology for how that is weighed.

The Free Version and the Paid Tiers

The free tier is where nearly all of Turbo VPN's install base sits. It restricts you to a limited set of servers and is funded by advertising, which is the same structural tension every ad-supported VPN carries: the product's stated purpose is to reduce what can be learned about you, and its business model depends on the opposite.

The paid plans are sold in tiers that differ by device allowance, with the higher tier covering roughly twice as many devices as the standard one, on multi-year terms with a money-back guarantee. Pricing and tier structure have moved since our last full pricing pass, so check the current figures on Turbo VPN's own site rather than the table above.

Server Network

Turbo VPN advertises a very large server count spread across a bit over a hundred locations. On raw numbers that is among the biggest networks in these rankings, and for a mobile-first free app it is a real engineering investment rather than marketing.

The figure it publishes is a location count rather than a country count, and those two are not the same measure. Check the current list against the countries you actually need rather than reading the headline number as coverage.

Who Turbo VPN Is For

We do not recommend Turbo VPN. The app is competent and the network is genuinely large, and neither of those answers the question that its ownership chain raises: a VPN sees all of your traffic, so who ultimately controls it is not a detail.

If what you need is a free VPN on a phone, our best free VPNs guide covers providers whose ownership is public, uncomplicated and audited.
