I’m a total noob about VPNs, but I’d like to beat my service provider’s data throttling. I need to do a lot of downloading and uploading of large files, and am running into my deadline, but I don’t have any disposable income to put into a paid VPN. Do Y’all have suggestions?

For people telling me to pay for one; if I had the money I would have just done that and wouldn’t have needed to ask. But as it stands, I can barely make enough money to feed myself, it’s pretty hard to justify the cost of a decent VPN (even if it seems cheap to you). I don’t really care about privacy or companies selling my data, I just want to upload what needs to be uploaded in a timely manner, as it’s already taken three days of shit internet, and it’s still 22% done.

    I wouldnt trust any free one. The good ones are less than 5 dollars a month. if you’re paying for internet already, its not much more to pay for privacy.

      That is pretty weird. In my case my family is the one paying but even when they want to see more films in the TV they don’t pay for Netflix or similar which can be easily put :) (I would not accept it an would try replacements but it is an example).

      My economy is measured at all.
