depends, why do you want vpn in the first place?

proton free isn't bad

[-] goofsqueak@lemdro.id 1 points 1 day ago

privacy mainly, lowkey why im posting it here

[-] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago

imo it's good enough especially when you don't trust your isp/gov

[-] goofsqueak@lemdro.id 3 points 1 day ago

i dont really trust them but i also don't think they're untrustworthy

i just like the extra layer of privacy

I think they pay mullvad. It has a no logs policy. Better than most. I currently use Mullvad but maybe will try proton when it expires as they've had some missteps, but they ain't funding Nazi parties.

Set up DoH globally for your devices if you need privacy. Something like Adguard DNS.

i use nextdns, its good right?

[-] pixeldaemon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago

I don't know. Probably not bad. Large DNS providers tend to be OK unless specifically known to be not OK. Just make sure you really use DoH

I use the free version on mozilla, it gets the job done. Better than no vpn

[-] goofsqueak@lemdro.id 1 points 1 day ago

ouu shii mozilla has a vpn?

[-] Crumpled6273@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Btw, Mozilla has its own VPN, and I don't recommend using it.

Because Mozilla VPN is a paid service. But actually there are more well-maintained VPN providers available for a decent price with a strict no-log policy. for example, IVPN, Mullvad, Windscribe, Proton, etc., so there is no need to use the Mozilla VPN. Also, Mozilla VPN is based on Mullvad.

It's a add on like a addblocker

[-] goofsqueak@lemdro.id 1 points 1 day ago

ah so theres no system wide app or something?

[-] itsoveranakin_@piefed.zip 1 points 1 day ago

There is a system wide app, but it's only for the paid versions.

[-] goofsqueak@lemdro.id 1 points 1 day ago
[-] Umay@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

No unfortunately.

[-] hneerqe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

If you're gonna use a free one, might aswell. It's just their barebones service with 3 countries. I don't see why it would be any different from the paid option within the same company. There's no different TOS afaik.
