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?

Yes they’re an OG private mail provider who then started offering VPN. I have mixed feelings about their service. It’s average imo. But yes if you’re really wanting free then either Proton or AdGuard are probably somewhat trustworthy-ish.

I’ve tried Proton, but torrenting doesn’t work with the free option for some reason.
