What is best free VPN?

VPN
1

Hello There new linux user here i need a free VPN on fedora with no data limit

2

It isn’t exactly a vpn, but you can use the tor browser

3

It’s said that if it’s free, you’re the product. That likely spoils your (unspecified) use case for the VPN.

The more appropriate subreddit, as a VPN is not specific to Fedora: r/vpn.

Also, see this respected resource: https://www.privacyguides.org/vpn/#privacy and its companion subreddit: /r/PrivacyGuides

Good luck

  1. Acquire free VPS from cloud provider (AWS,GCloud,Oracle etc)
  2. Install Algo VPN GitHub - trailofbits/algo: Set up a personal VPN in the cloud
  3. !???
  4. Profit

I guess you are new to both Linux, privacy and stuff. So it’s better you use Tor Browser for private web browsing which already comes with secure configuration for noobs.

Free VPNs are mostly shady or slow and I wouldn’t recommend a newbie to configure it in Linux. Because even expert users usually forget about DNS leaks, IPv6 leaks etc associated with configuring a VPN.

Just go with Tor Browser until you figure out everything.

7

yes.

protonvpn is pretty nice

8

I need a vpn to use it with other apps not just browsing

9

It’s not free right ?

10

I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted.

11

They even support wireguard.

12

Possibly more work than you want to put in, but if you run /r/Whonix you can install any app you like on the (Debian-based) workstation VM, and it will automatically go over Tor.

Total cost: free-as-in-beer

13

No, is not, but is cheap. One flat fee.

14

I guess people don’t like best in class, open source, privacy respecting software (“,)/

Like it’s literally free, has no data limit, uses wireguard.

Idk man

15

Why am I only seeing a 5 pound a month subscription

16

I didn’t downvote, but:

  • more work than most people want to do

  • lose some of the key benefits of a commercial VPN: mix traffic with that of thousands of other users, vary location at will

  • I doubt it stays free; at some point you will have to start paying for VPS

I see your points.

  1. More work is negligible, running the ansible script is as hard as using dnf to install a package. It’s legit that automated. Just supply it creds and answer the installer quiz and it does the rest.

  2. You can assign your vps a static , which is good for reasons. You could also put in extra work to egress traffic through a socks proxy (which is also easy). Or just spin up a vm in another data center wherever you want to exit from.

  3. Nope it’s free, been doing this for two years on a T2 micro instance, it’s in AWS free tier. If you want more than one exit node you’d need more instances, which are about half a cent an hour.

Other benefit is since you control the infrastructure you can ensure there are no logs kept in case the feds decide to come knocking.

The problem with public VPNs, especially the ‘good’ ones is that they get flagged for abuse more often. With this setup it’s just an ephemeral IP address in an AWS IP block, looks totally legit to most WAFs

More work as in signing up for an account with AWS or whoever, putting in payment details, getting the settings right, etc.

just spin up a vm in another data center wherever you want to exit from.

Now you’re making your own VPN network.

Okay, thanks, cool.

you can ensure there are no logs kept

The data center / AWS / etc could be logging your activity.

True, that is a big advantage.
