Over 15 free VPN apps on Google Play were found using a malicious software development kit that turned Android devices into unwitting residential proxies, likely used for cybercrime and shopping bots.

    The only 3 good free unlimited options out there are ProtonVPN, RiseupVPN and BrightVPN(only for windows), limited ones Windscribe and PrivadoVPN(10GB per month).

    These are the only good free options anything else it’s a scam(you are the product) or you have to pay.

    Another option maybe could be self-hosting in Oracle Cloud but it will not be anonymous at all, secure maybe but definitely not anonymous.

      Where did you get this idea?

      Mullvad, IVPN, Perfect Privacy, and a few others have had independent audits of their no-log behavior and in some cases, law enforcement audits. They sure as hell don’t proxy your traffic. They all accept Monero and cash. They all have multihop.

      Edit: I see you said free. Yeah, I wouldn’t trust a free VPN, regardless. If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.

        I agree,

        However I got to a point that I’m skeptical even with paid, well established products. I don’t need VPN but if I did I’d try something based on onion routing.
