Didn't even know they had a free tier until yesterday. Is it any good? I've been using it with no issue on low data situations.

Yes, I know about the original dev political issues.

I heard good things about mullvad. I will get a paid version when I have more need for it. I had thought free versions didn't exist previously . But I don't trust it fully

If you're into torrenting, paid Proton VPN is one of the best.

I used to be, I kind of do want to get back into it. I worry more about malware and viruses now though.

Well, not torrenting games and software and you're pretty sure to stay virus free.

For games you'd have to find some uploader who you trust.
