I’m a total noob about VPNs, but I’d like to beat my service provider’s data throttling. I need to do a lot of downloading and uploading of large files, and am running into my deadline, but I don’t have any disposable income to put into a paid VPN. Do Y’all have suggestions?

For people telling me to pay for one; if I had the money I would have just done that and wouldn’t have needed to ask. But as it stands, I can barely make enough money to feed myself, it’s pretty hard to justify the cost of a decent VPN (even if it seems cheap to you). I don’t really care about privacy or companies selling my data, I just want to upload what needs to be uploaded in a timely manner, as it’s already taken three days of shit internet, and it’s still 22% done.

    This is one of few answers that’s actually helpful, thank you.

    I couldn’t quite understand the site you provided though, I couldn’t find a download link. That could just be me being blind, I’ve decided to go with Windscribe because I’ve used it before, but I’d much rather use something else.

        Thank you for pointing.

        I want address them to the possibility of the GUI integrations in NetworkManager in KDE and GNOME if he used GNU/Linux as well as configure the CLI client to start with a config file or the OpenVPN client in other OS.

      The first is knowing your operating system to adapt a little tutorial.

      BackplaneDNS needs OpenVPN client and Riseup VPN has its own one I will link in a little.
