    Didn’t even know they offered a free vpn. I thought it was only on paid plans. Shrugs, I already use mullvad

  Most are, but not necessarily

    Honestly I thought their vpn was only on paid plans. Kinda impressed they offer it free. I assume it’s a way to get people into the ecosystem and also use their email and etc

      I believe windscribe also has a nice free plan

  Unless you sign up for a VPS free trial yourself and set it up. I have two Oracle always free instances running right now

    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

    Ya if you are hosting it yourself then pretty different. I use them for a basic Nextcloud server myself. Their ARM servers are dirt cheap even when you have to go above their free generous cores and ram.

    What’s the point of setting up a VPN like that?

      You can get around the censorship of the country you’re in
