VPN.lat has free servers in Latvia. No account, no email, no card, no data cap.
Latvia has better internet infrastructure than its size suggests: Riga is a Baltic node with a considerable web hosting industry, and the country regularly appears near the top of European consumer connection-speed rankings.

What a Latvian IP is actually for
Reaching Latvian services from abroad. The most everyday use: residents travelling, or emigrants, whose banking, administrative portals or broadcast services block them on detecting a foreign IP. Latvia has substantial emigration to the UK, Ireland and Germany, so this case is common.
Baltic routing. If you're in the region, measure Latvia alongside Sweden, Estonia and Lithuania: depending on your provider the spread between them can be notable, and the nearest doesn't always win.
A European IP with good capacity. Because of the country's hosting industry, the infrastructure is solid.
Geolocation testing from the Baltic — a region services frequently treat as one market when the three countries have distinct catalogues, currencies histories and languages.
What to know about the jurisdiction
Latvia is an EU member, so it applies the European data protection standard, including the obligations that framework places on telecommunications providers. It isn't an exotic privacy jurisdiction and we won't sell it as one.
What actually matters: what protects you isn't the jurisdiction of the server, it's that the service keeps no records. We keep no activity logs, here and anywhere else we operate. If the records don't exist, it doesn't matter who asks for them or under which law.
What a VPN protects, and what it doesn't
What it does:
Your internet provider stops seeing what you visit. It sees an encrypted connection to a server, and nothing else. Not the sites, not the searches, not the apps.
Websites stop seeing your real IP. They see the server's, shared by many users at once.
Public Wi-Fi stops being a problem. Nobody else on the network can read your traffic.
What it doesn't do:
It doesn't make you anonymous once you log in. Open your email or your social accounts and those services know exactly who you are. The IP changes; your account doesn't.
It doesn't clear cookies or browser fingerprints. That's what private mode and clearing site data are for.
It doesn't protect you from downloading something malicious. It encrypts the road; it doesn't inspect the traffic on it.
It doesn't substitute for the electronic identification that public and banking services in the region generally require.
Public Wi-Fi and travel
On the Wi-Fi at a hotel, an airport, a café or a shopping centre, anyone else connected is in a position to see a good deal of your traffic, and an open network can be misconfigured or simply fake.
If you're about to open your bank or your email on a network that isn't yours, turn the VPN on first. This is the least arguable thing a VPN does.
And if you're Latvian living abroad and what's blocking you is your Latvian bank, this is exactly the server that fixes it.
