GreenTea VPN Surpasses 8 Million Users
GreenTea VPN Surpasses 8 Million Users
In August 2026, GreenTea VPN officially surpassed 8 million registered users — the result of nine years of product refinement and accumulated trust.
Nine years ago, GreenTea VPN launched as a small tool with a single acceleration feature and fewer than a thousand users. The free VPN market was full of shoddy products. GreenTea VPN chose a harder path: earn trust with free access, keep users with quality. Today, that path has proven right.
1. Three Key Stages
GreenTea VPN's journey divides into three stages: exploration (2017-2019), expansion (2020-2023) and maturity (2024-present).
| Stage | Period | Milestone |
|---|---|---|
| Exploration | 2017-2019 | Single platform, seed users |
| Expansion | 2020-2023 | Five platforms, 100+ nodes |
| Maturity | 2024-now | 8M+ users |
Notably, GreenTea VPN added over 4 million users in 2024-2026, more than the previous seven years combined.
2. The Logic Behind Growth
The team attributes growth to two principles: the freemium model for zero-barrier experience, and zero-log plus military-grade encryption for trust.

Used it since 2019, watched it grow — more nodes, faster speeds.
Free and stable for years, I've referred many friends.
Congrats on 8M users, hope it keeps growing and stays free.
Used it over two years, barely any issues, fast support.
8 million is a milestone and a new start. GreenTea VPN will keep investing in nodes and R&D. If you haven't tried it yet, download the Green Tea accelerator and join the 8-million family.
