>>20953 (OP) A free VPN sounds like a honeypot

RiseUp is run by retarded communists so I wouldn't trust it either way.

>>20967 Ok but what is the worst thing that can happen? Why should I trust, let s say, Nord VPN or Proton instead?

>>20969 They are anarchists if i remember correctly. Yes anarchism is retarded but at least they wont cooperate with 14 eyes, right?

>>20973 They will. Their hatred of "nazis" is stronger than their hatred of authority.

>>20974 Well what if i use it for torrenting just to have an extra layer of security (like i said, no letters from isp here)? I don t plan to commit any serious crime anyway.

>>20976 If all your doing is torrenting your ISP wont do shit. If you're really worried about it try Cloudflare WARP, it's also free and has no throttling or restrictions on torrenting (just routing you through the same servers you use to connect to most websites anyway). For anything more serious I'd do it through TOR.

>>20971 Because they don't need retarded shills -like op- to advertise them on random imageboard. For a starter.

>>20990 Are you retarded? I found out about them today and i wanted to ask for advice. They won't get a dime out of me. Also, i don t know shit about vpn, that s why a asked you niggerfaggots for help

>>20983 Can you give me some more information about it? I wouldn't mind to try different solutions (as long as the are free)

>>20953 (OP) Try ProtonVPN, they have a free option. Don't use the account for emails or anything else, only use it for the VPN. When/if you get money, Mullvad is the best out there.

has anyone used their email service? I read somewhere that it's one of the main alternatives to cock.li right now after recent events but never looked into it

>>21054 I ve tried it but the free server is in japan/usa and my connection gets slow as shit. Riseup has a server in Paris which is pretty close to where i live and i don t see any difference in terms of speed compared to when don t use a VPN. I am in northern Italy.

>>21376 What one can reasonably expect from a free VPN service.

>>21376 They should have free ones in the Netherlands.

>>21431 Riseup is free and has servers closer to where i live. Also no login required. I know it may be a honeypot (that s why i am asking or advice here) but objectively, is better than the free version of Proton, perfomance wise. Mostly because of the closer server and no login. Also no torrenting in free Proton.That s all.

>>21475 Perhaps you could offer them some financial support and politely make a request.

>>21633 Perhaps you should learn to read. OP said he s broke. He found a free service that works well and he s asking for advice. He doesn t want to pay for shit. >B-b-but muh subscripion s-service!!! You can't get free shit on the internet!! I-it isn't fair!!! You HAVE to support the globohomo trannies! Kys

>>21634 >strawman >implying anything is free You must be young, cynicism hasn't taken hold of you yet. Time and again it's been seen that "free" means someone is making money using you rather than getting it from you. It's happened so many times it would be wrong not to bring it up if someone is looking into free options. It just do be like that. No, I'm not implying that anything paid isn't doing the same shit on top of the subscription, so don't bother. I'd second the guy saying mullvad, if OP can scrape some money together. I can't prove they are truly legit, but I do know when I use it, I can't access reddit, msn, nytimes, and timesofisrael, among others. Make of that what you will. Since OP said he's broke, oh well, he's rolling the dice and I have nothing to contribute to that, sorry.

>>21652 ok but what is the worst that can happen that couldn t happen with a paid vpn? also i am not saying that riseup is not an honeypot for sure but i am just trying to understand: why would Proton, since another anon suggested it as a (partially)free alternative, be better? what pisses me of is not that people here say it's not a good idea to trust RiseUp (i asked for advice for this very reason, i don't trust em completely either), it's the fact that (almost) nobody has explained shit and just said use niggerfaggotVPN, it's not free but just use it because it's not free and therefor it's better. so, what could go wrong by using RiseUp? why? what would they gain from fucking up their credibility by for, example,doxxing the people who trust them and use their software, since they claim to hate the government and they're trying to get new users to use their vpn?

>>21706 Free VPN services like Riseup or Calyx are generally quite slow because they lack the number of servers worldwide that paid options like Mullvad or IVPN have.

>>21738 That's it? The free server is very close to where i am and the connection is super fast. So i'm good?

>>21743 If all you're doing is torrenting and don't want you isp to know go for it Just because other anons are presenting related info does not mean you must do what we recommended Glean the info you want and thats it, no ones here to validate you being poor

>>21773 that's all i am doing. thanks for the info. even if i wasn't broke i wouldn t give money to kikes, btw. i'm not interested in getting validated by you.

>>21743 Mullvad and IVPN provide multihop support, and Mullvad also offers DAITA. >>21787 Any VPN can be used if the only requirement is a free service for torrenting purposes.

>>21811 Well, not quite, since free options like Proton free version don t allow me to torrent shit. Isn t there an alternative to Rise Up that does the same thing ( free, servers in Europe, no login, no logs) without the anarchy gay larp?

>>21821 Windscribe is free, and when your quota is exhausted, you can create another account by using a random temporary email service for registration.

>>21821 You can download torrents without port forwarding, you just can't seed or connect to other clients who also aren't using port forwarding.

>>20983 fyi cloudflare warp doesn't hide your ip if the server is using cloudflare

i2p is a good way to torrent for free. for small money... seedboxes. use the vpn and a gift card. search for gigarapid.

>>22134 >i2p is a good way to torrent for free last i tried this i got a max of around 40kb/s down, has this improved at all since?

>>22142 300-800KBps on torrents with 15+ seeds is what i've come to expect.

>>20953 (OP) Buy a proper VPN you can have my old PIA VPN account name p7839734 pass CJS74DzaUd have fun >>20953 (OP) >>20953 (OP)

>>20953 (OP) Mullvad or nothing atp

>>20983 >If all you're doing is torrenting your ISP won't do shit Extremely bad advice. In reality, it's highly dependent on which country you live in. American copyright and litigation laws are so fucked that there's a whole cottage industry of bot companies that file copyright complaints on behalf of the copyright holders, without the copyright holders even knowing about it, and make their money by getting kickbacks from the copyright holders for successful DMCA takedowns. I see no reason why these companies wouldn't be just as active patrolling public torrent trackers as they are on youtube. The worst that will probably happen, in the USA at least, is that your ISP ban you from their service, which can suck if they're the only one in your podunk village. Usually they'll first send you a threatening letter telling you to knock it off or they'll sue, so you'll (usually) have some warning. To my knowledge, they haven't actually prosecuted anyone for piracy since the Napster days. If you want to pirate in the US, either pay the $3/month for a VPN or use a direct download site with HTTPS and an alternative DNS provider.
