It is 1.85 dollars a month if one pays for 3 years. I am looking into ways of saving money so I was thinking into switching. However, I am a bit worried since 3 years ago I did the same with Nord VPN and it is sooo buggy. It rarely ever works for me. I had to switch to ProtonVPN after paying for 3 years for Nord 💀.

Why not use free VPN? Theres plenty of obscure ones out there.

No VPN service is free. If you’re not paying them, they’re profiting off of you having their VPN service in some other way (like Onavo, which sold your VPN traffic).

I don’t trust a VPN provider that I have not given a reason to not sell my data.

Well they usually have a small selection of slower free servers and a lot of faster ones locked behind a premium wall. Does this not substitute as profit for them?

Depends on the provider, but probably they would be analyzing the traffic of the free users the very most to profit off of them. Maybe they’re trying to convert them to paying users, maybe they’re selling the data, and it could be tricky to figure out which.

The “free” servers aren’t free, they have some specific reason why it’s profitable for them to run servers where users aren’t paying with money. They’re capitalists.
