    And sure as fuck never use a free one for anything remotely sensitive.

    I think ProtonVPN might might be an exception here. They’re pretty trustworthy as far as I know, and have some free servers.

    But my go-to is Mullvad, mainly for the flat pricing. I hate how most only have good prices if you buy a full year or so.

      I used Anonine (Sweden based) for 10yrs and never had a single problem visiting any site… I use a VPN 24/7 because I value my privacy and don’t want every fucker tracking my everymove and that includes my ISP.

      Recently switched to Proton because streaming from legal sites like iplayer and netflix had become impossible unless it was turned off. Proton actually works with them.

      proton was the only good free VPN, but apparently the CEO was recently praising trump and shit so that’s obviously caused a lot of users to stop using it and telling others to not use it.
