Davkaus Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 (edited) What kind of threat are you worried about to require a VPN? They have some very useful purposes, and I use one myself, but they're certainly not a replacement for endpoint protection and some common sense when using the internet. This is a great site for VPN comparisons https://thatoneprivacysite.net/ One thing to consider if that while VPNs have their uses (especially in the tory surveillance age), you have to trust the VPN provider as much as you'd trust someone on public wifi. They can see everything you're doing, and probably know who you are. It's a good tool for bypassing ISP surveillance/traffic shaping, and protecting yourself on public wifi, but you are exposing yourself if the VPN provider is either dishonorable or incompetent.

mykeyb Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 You can try Windscribe which if you google you will find a code which gives you 50gb of free data a month which for browsing and emails should be plenty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Can you trust a free one. I wouldn't.

More and more VPN providers are promising an “anonymous” or “no logging” VPN service while providing minimal, or zero, transparency about how they actually handle your data. These so called “anonymous” VPN providers fall into two categories: https://www.goldenfrog.com/blog/myths-about-vpn-logging-and-anonymity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Depends what you are doing and how paranoid you are. Is a free VPN worse than no VPN at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Quite true. If people are downloading films and music on torrents then they would be bonkers not too use a vpn. Edited May 16, 2017 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
