I’ve been experimenting with some free VPNs, and it looks like Riseup is legit. I’m able to torrent on it without issue and the speeds are acceptable for my connection.
How come we don’t recommend this more? Everyone is always saying “no free vpns,” but how many of you have actually tried them? I feel like I’ve been wasting money on my VPN ever since I found Riseup.
Are we just being hustled by the viral marketers and their useful idiots?
It’s a pairing of the old batch of free ones being garbage and the addage “If it’s free, you’re the product”. Running a VPN at scale isn’t a cheap affair so you should ask where they’re making the money. Are they a proven no-logs VPN or are you operating under a ‘Trust me bro’?
