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

    I like ProtonVPN, it’s by ProtonMail so some opsec conscious people here might be more critical of it than others, but I’ve had a good experience with both services. The VPN has a free version that you can upgrade later, so there’s limited features, but importantly no ads or insane data tracking. For any normal web surfing, I find it more than enough.

      My comrades if a Swiss VPN company is offering you a free version, your data is being tracked.

        Believe me I know, Swiss banks even make you pay a fee to open an account it’s insane. But given the free restriction it’s the best one I’ve seen.
