    If you are not paying for it, you’re not the customer; you’re the product being sold.

      Handy rule of thumb I guess but I really don’t think that applies to riseup in a meaningful way

    Riseup is run by activists entirely on donations, so I don’t think that ‘you are the product’ really applies. Be a bit cautious anyway though, because they have given info to the FBI before. Of course Proton has handed over IP logs to Swiss law enforcewent too. There’s only so far you can really trust any VPN. I still think they’re more trustworthy than most other ‘free’ VPNs though.

      Totally agreed. As much as I don’t like them handing over that sort of data, its hard to justify demanding they accept facing prison time for some dipshit on their service.

      Well at the very minimum all vpns have your IP, so it’s not a big deal if proton complys with the law, Don’t understand why we expect corporations to break the law

    I’ve been using Proton VPN for years and I’ve never had problem with speed.

    I’ve always found Riseup to be super slow and Proton VPN to be fast. Maybe try changing your protocol to WireGuard in the Proton VPN settings?

    I generally trust riseup, but there’s no guarantee. if you want a guarantee you have to pay for it (after doing proper research).
