I've already tried How can I add map from website maps-for-free.com as my base map on QGIS 2.10.1-Pisa? with the adjusted filepath for the metadata.ini file but it didn't work. The FreeMap option doesn't show up in the dropdown menu.

Am I missing something or is this service not available anymore for QGS 3.4?

    Please edit your post for add more information and context, not in comments. And please add the content of your metadata.ini and a list of what you have already done.

You can add it as XYZ tiles very easily.
1. right click XYZ Tiles
2. New Connection
3. connaction url is https://maps-for-free.com/layer/relief/z{z}/row{y}/{z}_{x}-{y}.jpg
4. click OK.

You can then add it to QGIS from the browser whenever you want.

I would recommend setting the Max Zoom Level to 11 just like in their site.
