Most people turn to a VPN for one reason: privacy. And with its verified badge, featured placement, and 100k+ installs, FreeVPN.One looked like a safe choice. But once it’s in your browser, it’s not working to keep you safe, it’s continuously watching you.
Unless you sign up for a VPS free trial yourself and set it up. I have two Oracle always free instances running right now
Ya if you are hosting it yourself then pretty different. I use them for a basic Nextcloud server myself. Their ARM servers are dirt cheap even when you have to go above their free generous cores and ram.
be forewarned, oracle is known to randomly just delete free VPSs out of nowhere with no warning.
Yes, that’s why I upgraded to a paid account even though my VPSes are free
What’s the point of setting up a VPN like that?
You can get around the censorship of the country you’re in
