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.

Edit: We have confirmation. Mods will delete posts that aren’t breaking rules just because they’re downvoted too much. Great censorship by proud consumers. Enjoy wasting your money.

He also tried to spread lies about Riseup requiring an invite code, which it does not. He also tried to spread lies about it not being for torrenting. Sharing information freely is activism and you don’t get to decide it’s not.

He then tried to make the discussion private, which I refuse to do because there is no reason to do so and it only serves to aid in censorship.
