Most people turn to a VPN for one reason: privacy. And with its verified badge, featured placement, and 100k+ installs, FreeVPN.One looked like a safe choice. But once it’s in your browser, it’s not working to keep you safe, it’s continuously watching you.
Any free VPN is a scam.
is ProtonVPN a scam then? no.
Most are, but not necessarily
Proton isn’t.
andy yen is a pro big tech fash so yeah it is
Unless you sign up for a VPS free trial yourself and set it up. I have two Oracle always free instances running right now
What’s the point of setting up a VPN like that?
You can get around the censorship of the country you’re in
be forewarned, oracle is known to randomly just delete free VPSs out of nowhere with no warning.
Yes, that’s why I upgraded to a paid account even though my VPSes are free
