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?

    Hey man, you’re arguing with yourself at this point.

    Trying to convince yourself why you’re not wasting money.

      While you’re using no evidence whatsoever to convince people they’re wasting your money. I know which one of these requires less mental gymnastics. What I don’t understand is what you’re getting out of your little campaign if you expect nothing out of the average internet-goer? Are you one of the Riseup leads looking for suckers to steal the data of? One of their advertising partners who farm that data? You clearly have some kind of incentive for all the bullshit you’re spewing. What I gain is making sure the less savvy don’t fall for it.
