So a friend of mine is looking for a VPN to get round some region restrictions and for some additional privacy on a shared connection. They were using Hola but it's gone down.

Can anyone recommend a free/cheap VPN that they can use?

Use Private Internet Access. They walk the walk about not keeping logs, and it is very cheap.

Most VPNs have extremely low data allowance for the free version.

Best option nowadays is to use opera browser which comes with built-in free VPN navigation.

Mostly I use it to get around the annoying HBO policy of not working outside of my home country, your friend might have different needs though as this is just browser only.
