Lol. There you guys go making up bullshit again!

Taken straight from their website: “This is an experiment to see if we can create a VPN service that is easy enough for everyone to use and that people will donate enough to sustain.”

Can you show me where it says they don’t want people using it for torrenting? Or are you just making it up to fit in with all the other people who don’t want to admit they’re wasting money?

Uhh, no. I’m calling out censorship for what it is.

If the mods didn’t want their abuse of power to be criticized, they shouldn’t have abused it in the first place.

No. People just said it’s not designed for torrenting even though that’s not true.

From their website: “This is an experiment to see if we can create a VPN service that is easy enough for everyone to use and that people will donate enough to sustain.”

They make no mention of discouraging use by torrenters. That was completely made up by people on this forum who don’t want to admit they’re collectively wasting money.

If the VPN is free, then you are the product.

How about you actually think about what this means instead of regurgitating it as though it’s a law of the universe?

Practically speaking, how am I the product? Practically speaking, why does it matter? Practically speaking, you’re just regurgitating bullshit you’ve been conditioned to accept by other proud consumers to justify why you’re wasting money and avoid looking for better options.

I don’t expect more from any of you at this point.

It’s like they want for people to respond with their consumerist nonsense, then remove/lock the thread so I can’t say anything back!

Really scummy behavior, but I honestly don’t expect more. Something fishy is going on for sure!

Yeah, and torrenting is an activist solution.

Yeah, that’s a lie suckers believe to justify wasting money.

Try to see things from a practical perspective instead of what will get you internet points from useful idiots.

Hey man, you’re arguing with yourself at this point.

Trying to convince yourself why you’re not wasting money.

Thanks for the informative response. I don’t have a fast internet connection and have to throttle my torrents anyways, so I’ve never reached the speed limit although I’m sure it’s there.

Thank you for the informative answer. I just came across it recently, so it’s nice to know some people have experience with it.

I wish I had found it sooner!

The fuck? The commenter was saying they don’t want people using their service, and now you’re saying we shouldn’t trust them when they say why they provide it?

At some point, it’s easier to acknowledge that most of you don’t want to admit you’re paying for something that you could be getting for free.

It’s okay, I see it all the time and don’t expect more from the average internet user at this point.

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

That’s a bummer.

At least we have Riseup to fill the void.

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

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

Yikes. Are you upset because you’re paying for something you could be getting for free?

I see this kind of response all the time whenever I point out how people are wasting money.

Correct, but you get what you pay for.

That’s not true from what I’m experiencing with Riseup.

Do you have any experience with it?

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

Those aren’t free, to the best of my knowledge.

Ethical concerns? Lmao. Are you trying to argue they don’t want people using their service?

Have you even read anything about them?

Edit for the useful idiots (of which there are a lot of you): “At Riseup, we believe it is important for everyone to use some technology like VPN or Tor to encrypt their internet traffic. Why? Because the internet is being broken by governments, internet service providers (ISPs), and corporations. RiseupVPN will fight that”
