If you're using a free proxy, I have some RAM for you to download

[–] limerod@reddthat.com 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Free "VPN" app: look at me. You're the VPN now.

The only 3 good free unlimited options out there are ProtonVPN, RiseupVPN and BrightVPN(only for windows), limited ones Windscribe and PrivadoVPN(10GB per month).

These are the only good free options anything else it's a scam(you are the product) or you have to pay.

Another option maybe could be self-hosting in Oracle Cloud but it will not be anonymous at all, secure maybe but definitely not anonymous.

Where did you get this idea?

Mullvad, IVPN, Perfect Privacy, and a few others have had independent audits of their no-log behavior and in some cases, law enforcement audits. They sure as hell don't proxy your traffic. They all accept Monero and cash. They all have multihop.

Edit: I see you said free. Yeah, I wouldn't trust a free VPN, regardless. If you're not paying for the product, you are the product.

[–] PoliticallyIncorrect@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah I'm talking about free options. πŸ‘πŸ‘

[–] trolololol@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I agree,

However I got to a point that I'm skeptical even with paid, well established products. I don't need VPN but if I did I'd try something based on onion routing.

I just entered fake name and paid with crypto for my VPS.

Then you will be OK πŸ‘πŸ‘
