Free trial with limitations is a classic method that has worked well
I’m saying it’s literally a free VPN. But they’re q company. If they’re offering you free shit, you’re the product.

Proton isn't.
Didn’t even know they offered a free vpn. I thought it was only on paid plans. Shrugs, I already use mullvad

Unless you sign up for a VPS free trial yourself and set it up. I have two Oracle always free instances running right now
Ya if you are hosting it yourself then pretty different. I use them for a basic Nextcloud server myself. Their ARM servers are dirt cheap even when you have to go above their free generous cores and ram.

is ProtonVPN a scam then? no.
Most are, but not necessarily
Honestly I thought their vpn was only on paid plans. Kinda impressed they offer it free. I assume it’s a way to get people into the ecosystem and also use their email and etc

The dingy color scheme gives it away immediately. AI thinks comics should look dingy. Are all LLMs trained on comics printed on old newspaper or something?
It's similar to something we'd do on purpose in the mid 2010's, deep frying, when people made satirical MLG compilations they would throw memes in as many filters as possible, making a piss yellow slowly cover the meme the more filters you used.

Most people turn to a VPN for one reason: privacy. And with its verified badge, featured placement, and 100k+ installs, FreeVPN.One looked like a safe choice. But once it’s in your browser, it’s not working to keep you safe, it’s continuously watching you.
There's no such thing as free vpn. Any idiot who falls for this quite frankly deserves it.

You can't trust extensions these days. Granted if you are using a "free" vpn, you are the product.
