Okay, a lot of red flags. Thanks for pointing it out to me.
TOR traffic is actively monitored in my country. So if I browse the internet via TOR I’ll stand out. Most just use VPNs here. I’m not sure if my government is actively monitoring who’s traffic goes through VPN tunnels but even if they do I can easily mingle as theres tons and tons of VPN users in my country.
Do you know if Tor Snowflake bridges are monitored as well?
You might want to use the proton VPN from F-Droid then. I remember reading that when India was going to ban VPN usage in the past that proton moved their servers to Singapore and used VPS to make it available in India.
Note that I have used proton previously but no longer do.
I am not sure about this. I’ll have to do some research on this.
I am not really comfortable using Proton VPN. Atleast not while I’m residing in my country. Is there no other free VPN which the privacy community wholely agrees to be safe?
There is https://f-droid.org/packages/se.leap.riseupvpn/
And
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.vpnhood.client.android.web
You can look at those. I personally would rate them as safe, I previously used both. I found rise up to be faster, though neither was ‘fast’, but it’s been awhile since I used them.
Thanks for recommending vpnhood! I’ll try it!
I hope it works out for you, please report back
vpnhood connect works fine for me. Thanks for the recommendation. But… information about it so low on the internet. Is it reliable?
