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.
Not everyone is getting their paycheck as $$
Those who downvote me probably thinks the whole world is either US or Canada. Sorry pals, it is not.
I’m from the US, but I’ve worked in freelance for most of my adult career - and have been out of work since shortly before the pandemic hit, my income is pitiful and far below minimum wage. I simply can’t afford $5 a month, unless I start surviving on bread and water alone.
First class citizen* is more generic for every country.
You could find people in poor countries saying they can afford it and generalize that other can too (being a lie but destroying your point) and similar in rich countries with poor people.
