I know it’s not recommended to use a free VPN provider and that they’re based in the US. However based on Lavabit’s history and that the VPN requires no signup or personal information I’m curious how this community interprets this utility.

    If you click the link I provided it takes you to the app on the google play store which also links to their website and is registered under Lavabit LLC. Additionally if you search for the app it is open source and attached to their GitHub account.

      Anybody can create a Google Play Store account like that (and link to any website and say it’s registered under a company), many Chinese companies do it.

      Regarding searching for the app, it did show up on Github, but the last release was in 2021.

      Free VPN’s should also not be trusted because every person and company has to make money to pay for their servers.
