I want to do occasional torrenting to catch the few things I can’t get from Usenet. I don’t need a lot of quota. Any free VPNs worth considering?
Nope, if you aren’t paying for it. You’re the product. Your better off not even using a VPN rather than a free one as you wouldn’t have someone monetarily invested in selling your data so hard verses just getting the DMCA notices etc.
Look at some cheap options like Private Internet Access, Torguard and if you want to dabble in the ONLY semi free/bare bones trial offering then I would look at Tunnelbear but you’re not going to get any amount of bandwidth allowance that would be good for torrenting linux iso file sizes etc.
Windscribe has a 10 GB free plan that renews every month.
And you can get a plan with unlimited data for 2 bucks a month
You’re getting torrents from Usenet?
Why?
Cryptostorm’s cryptofree has unlimited free server in France. The only downside is that it’s a VPN for techies so you’ll have to download WireGuard / OpenVPN client and import configurations rather than just downloading their own app.
Proton VPN is the only free I would use.
Free VPN is like free cheese, and free cheese is for little mouses.
Ive been using Betternet for free all ts years. It works grt. get it from chrome extension.
Nope vpn’s are stupid cheap though. Check out mullvad and private internet access. Both around like $5 a month
Well, it depends. Most are not to be honest, because people have been using free providers like HSS and Browsec for ages and their free versions offer a limited number of IPs so those servers and IPs get all the load. If you just want to unblock a website in like a week or two, it’s okay to not spend anything on a VPN. But if you’re constantly in the need of a VPN, it’s better to invest a little in it. I know Ivacy VPN has recently gone the freemium route meaning they’re offering a limited number of servers for the free user and they’re not as popular as HSS so if you’re thinking of a free thing, you can try that out. Only commit if you think the service quality is good enough.
Thanks for your detailed answer. I was considering windscribe as I am in Canada, but you only get 10gb per month.
I pay 15 bucks every 6 months for Torguard
But is torguard still good after the recently Earn it act?
yep, just started using 3 days ago loooove it
I don’t think he has the money for it if he asks about free vpns
I didn’t know it was that cheap. Do you know if they are any good.
You can’t read?
Why?
No. I get most of the stuff I need from Usenet but when something is not available there I’d like to try via torrents.
Thx. It might be above my pay grade although using Ubuntu 20 probably makes it easier as I believe it’s built in. Coming from Canada and having no experience with VPNs, I don’t know if France would be ok or not.
Their free option doesn’t allow torrents.
