Title: Has anyone tried Riseup VPN?
I’ve been experimenting with some free VPNs, and it looks like Riseup is legit. I’m able to torrent on it without issue and the speeds are acceptable for my connection.
How come we don’t recommend this more? Everyone is always saying “no free vpns,” but how many of you have actually tried them? I feel like I’ve been wasting money on my VPN ever since I found Riseup.
Are we just being hustled by the viral marketers and their useful idiots?

Why did this post get removed for spam, but the post about a paid VPN stays up?
Are the mods just removing posts that get reported, regardless of if rules are being broken? If so, they should consider how most people paying for a product will get very defensive whenever someone mentions they could be getting that product for free.
Free VPNs are simply a bad idea.
What are they getting from you that allows them to pay for the ‘free’ service? It certainly isn’t a monthly sub, and there is only one other thing you are sending them…your data.
For some people it’s not always about the money.
The powers that be want to make sure that us workers never see value in those people.
This is FUD that’s peddled to consumers so you don’t feel bad about spending money on something you could be getting for free.
Try to see things from a practical perspective, instead of parroting “sayings” as though they are absolute fact.
You could save some money for it!
How do they pay for the service?
Grannyporn.
On their website it’s said they’re funded by donations.
You would be wise to, you know, at least check out their website before making up your own nonsense.
