I came across CalyxVPN while browsing through F-droid, it seems to be offered by the same people who make CalyxOS. I couldn’t find much discourse about it online, is it reputable enough to use?

My use case would be to hide whatever I do online from my ISP (I’m not torrenting, just browsing).

And yes, I know free VPNs are untrustworthy in most cases but this seems to come from a somewhat privacy respecting background so I was curious.

    I’m not familiar with it, but proton has a free plan where you can’t choose servers yourself but are assigned one at random. If all you care for is browsing protection and not bypassing geoblocked content or torrenting, that’s all you need really. And they are very trusted.

      I already use proton on PC, I needed one for mobile as well hence Calyx caught my eye.

      (ProtonVPN’s free plan is limited to one device at a time, that’s why)
