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?

Proton and Astrill are very good as well.

I’ve tried proton, but torrenting doesn’t seem to work with it for some reason.

They have servers tagged as p2p enabled, those work fine. Only in the paid plan though, free is not meant for that.

That’s a bummer.

At least we have Riseup to fill the void.

im fairly happy with windscribe, they give 10gb a month for freemium

I’ve used windscribe, and their free option is great for evasion.

However the 10gb limit makes it worse than Riseup for torrenting.
