Riseup vpn is a free, donations based VPN, that doesn’t require an account and has no logs policey. They doesn’t have lots of serves like Protonvpn for example but they’re running for years and support P2P, so if someone is too short for paying for a VPN, I think its a pretty good for some use cases.

    Seems like a few people here have clearly never heard of Riseup: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riseup

    It’s a volunteer and donation run anarchist collective that has been around since 1999. They have fought a number of legal battles against governments to varying degrees of success.

    The people involved have close ties to basically everyone involved in Tor and should be regarded with the same level of trust (what ever that means for you). There’s also a lot of overlap with some core Debian contributors.

    That said, I wouldn’t use them for P2P other than occasional use. Or if you do, consider making a substantial monthly donation. It’s a lot of resources to pull from a small organisation at the expense of people who need their services for political organizing, which is their primary focus.

      Yeah that’s fair, I hope people realize I meant that you don’t have to pay to use the service, and not that I’m discouraging donations in any way. They deserve every penny!
