This vpn is one of those rare vpns which offer free service without selling user data. So its worth supporting by donations

This VPN is free and works with P2P communications, making it perfect for torrenting. I highly recommend this VPN.

I contributed the 60 dollars for a year of services. I am supporting Riseups cause and get the vpn service along with it.

No complaints from me. Works well for downloading torrents and everything else. Surely the lack of a sign-up is a good thing, boosting anonymity.
Cost is by donation. They ask for $60 which is reasonable but as a one off payment. My conscience tells me to contribute once I have the $60 to .
Riseup take security very seriously and are not a commercial enterprise. Their various services are used and trusted by many discrete and antiauthoritarian actors. They are serious and sincere.
I think you need an invite for the email service they offer but not for vpn.
Riseup are well worth supporting.

No complaints, fast vpn with no signup. Probably shouldn't be trusted for this reason either though.

this vpn provider riseup vpn does only offer free services, do your research!
on linux you can simply install it through software then make a starter
by finding the file in /snap/bin/ riseup vpn. launcher
SWITCH IT ON BEFORE USING THE BROWSER !
if it shows a green icon it works, and in the browser you will see different
ips than your used to see from your location.
use it with tor browser to completely get anonymous

It’s an open source VPN that I use on my Linux mint 19.1. No cost but they do ask for donations. If you want to you can. They will send a pop up now and then. Let your conscience be your guide.
