Hello
It is necessary for me to tell you that no free VPN is secure. We have different conversations on the forum about that, so there is no way you can be 100% sure (nor 50%, honestly) using VPN with whatever mail.

To contact any site on the Internet, including the portals used by a proxy or a VPN provider, it's necessary to include that site's IP number in the data headers - either directly or via a DNS lookup. Hence, it's a rather simple matter for a censor to simply add the IP numbers of known proxy and VPN portals to their block lists, particularly in the case of the more well-known or popular proxies/VPNs. In the case of those few (and costly) VPNs or proxies that have a wide range of IPs they supply, the blocking task is somewhat more difficult, but certainly not impossible for a determined censor. The net result is that a VPN or proxy offers only limited or temporary hope of success in bypassing regional censorship to access forbidden sites.
A very real danger (especially in certain locales) is where even the use or connection to a proxy or VPN is forbidden by law. In those cases, unaware users may expose themselves to serious sanctions by simply employing such tools. Users should always inform themselves of the risks involved locally before embarking on attempts to use them.
