Has anyone tried Riseup VPN? (riseup.net)

I’ve been experimenting with some free VPNs, and it looks like Riseup is legit. I’m able to torrent on it without issue and the speeds are acceptable for my connection.

How come we don’t recommend this more? Everyone is always saying “no free vpns,” but how many of you have actually tried them? I feel like I’ve been wasting money on my VPN ever since I found Riseup.

Are we just being hustled by the viral marketers and their useful idiots?

Do they support port forwarding?

No, unfortunately (at least to the best of my knowledge.)

This is the one advantage the paid VPN I was using has over Riseup.
