Free VPN on FDroid Anonymous 15-04-25 18:56:56 No.29009

What is your opinion on these free VPNs on FDroid? I'm currently testing Calyx VPN. How is it possible, that there are so many free VPNs out there? This is cool but also kinda sus…

IIRC this is just a cool non-profit, similar to riseup there.
My guess is that most rely on advertizements/sell data.

The thing is, riseup is funded by mozilla and mozilla is funded by Google. This is why I'm very sceptical of "non-profit" organizations.

Mozilla apparently made a big donation, but not sure this is a reason to be worried.
Imagine they're still mostly user-funded, so users are unlikely to be their product.

If you're that worried just use Tor at this point.

I think I will just use X-VPN. I trust the chinese glowies more, than these "non-profit" VPNs on Fdroid.

calyx vpn is nice, it's hosted by a non-profit
