Fake email and vpn = Free private connection

You dont even have to type a real email it doesn't verify anything. Just something@somewhere.xxx

The amount of success I’ve had with optout@businessdomain.tld is unreal

I personally use .@dot.com or dot@dot.com because it's fast to type lol

[–] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I usually do thepresident@whitehouse.gov

Works most of the time.

Pedantic but

vpn free

Boy I hope not

I’d like to hope they mean the VPN they pay for for other… uses. So it’s no extra money, cuz they already are using it at home to download Overwatch VR Porn.

There was an equal sign in between those words. Idk if it's visible on your end but I see it on mine. That being said, the only free vpn I would use is protonvpn. Downside is it's slow and unstable due to using a free plan.

Yeah I use simplelogin but for stuff I don't care about like this I'd probably use that or spam keyboard for fake email
