Decent Free VPN? (hexbear.net)
submitted 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) by GoebbelsDeezNuts@hexbear.net to c/technology@hexbear.net

I’ve been parsing all of my monthly subscriptions because I’m broke as fuck and the only thing I’d rather not do without is a VPN. Are free VPNs a thing and are any of them worth using? I tried looking this up, but I feel like yall would know better then the normies

edit: had someone hook me up, ty goat

If you can't do without it, pay for it. Joining a "free" VPN would almost certainly open you up to all sorts of badware and surveillance. It's a lib thing to say, but if you aren't paying for it, you're the product.

Others may have opinions on VPNs generally, but I'd only trust them for piracy or something. If you are doing anything else that you want to hide, I wouldn't trust a single one in the anglosphere.

I wasn’t joking when I said I was broke. Like broke broke

If you have nothing but time then install Tor and get used to solving captcha after captcha.
