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.
ProtonVPN (Free plan) is in my opinion the only true free VPN out there. It’s owned by the reputable company of Protonmail. The free plan is paid for by paid subscribers (not your data), they keep no logs and impose no bandwidth limits. There are of course a few limitations such as slower speeds, no P2P activities, no geo unblocking. Overall, it’s a great service for being truly free.
