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.
How authoritarian we talking? China?
Yes, so I am preparing a collection of VPN…
I don’t understand what they’re thinking.
In the beginning it was just blocking Facebook& Twitter so it wasn’t a big issue. Now it’s almost completely isolated.
At this level is just self harm, as a VPN is no more optional but is mandatory for everyone.
Even the director of the gfw program was spotted with some VPN icons on his desktop during a PowerPoint presentation from his laptop
This allows for easy supply chain attacks to companies because when employees need to download huge packages from the internet like xcode, they a presented with a choice: download from official website at 5 kb/s and finish next week or download an hacked version laced with malware from a shady website at 5 megabytes/s? Even Tencent was hacked in this way…
Well, I believe you have to just set up your own shadowsocks/vmess/vless/trojan/etc server instead of collecting VPNs, since they are often useless in authoritarian countries nowadays.
