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?

Do they support port forwarding?

No, unfortunately (at least to the best of my knowledge.)

This is the one advantage the paid VPN I was using has over Riseup.

their useful idiots

looks like this service has one in you

Yeah, saving money totally makes me a useful idiot.

Defending spending money on something you could be getting for free doesn’t make you one.

How much did this VPN pay you to spam it on lemmy?

2 week old account blathering as per usual in the OP

I’m able to torrent on it without issue

Proceeds to comment that it doesn’t have port forwarding

No, unfortunately (at least to the best of my knowledge.)

OP doesn’t even realise that I and others use torrents from public trackers and don’t need me no third party VPN because I use my domestic ISP w/ external IP address and, throughly ignored the two emails they sent me saying I was “bad” downloading Animal Kingdom in around 2016? I should print them out and use them as shit roll.

Fucking noobies trying to shill some bait if you ask me.

Nothing.

Bro stop spamming to other subs
