Doesn't proton offer a free vpn with limits?

Also, a vpn is pretty cheap. I wouldn't say that it's kids that would be using it, it would be adults who don;t want to upload their picture.

Yeah it's pretty good, you just can't torrent with the free tier and sometimes it's slow because a lot of people are using it.

But it's very useful for the short time I use it.

Yes however they are literally move all their infrastructure to the UK so they won’t be an option soon.

Windscribe is a thin too, but since they are Canadian and Canada is making stupid political deals with the US lately, it can’t be relied on either.
