I’m a total noob about VPNs, but I’d like to beat my service provider’s data throttling. I need to do a lot of downloading and uploading of large files, and am running into my deadline, but I don’t have any disposable income to put into a paid VPN. Do Y’all have suggestions?
For people telling me to pay for one; if I had the money I would have just done that and wouldn’t have needed to ask. But as it stands, I can barely make enough money to feed myself, it’s pretty hard to justify the cost of a decent VPN (even if it seems cheap to you). I don’t really care about privacy or companies selling my data, I just want to upload what needs to be uploaded in a timely manner, as it’s already taken three days of shit internet, and it’s still 22% done.
This, and if your goal is only geoblock bypassing and not wanting anonymity, please use Windscribe VPN addon (with throwaway temp email for 10GB/mo) over the above essential/critical free resources. Windscribe offers 20-30 country servers for free and can be used safely for watching Netflix, anime shows and accessing torrent sites.
RiseUp works hard to do what it does, and only 89 donators help donate and run it. Please do not waste their resources if you just want mere geoblock bypassing. Donate to them.
