This is great. Now all I need is a directory for the Dark Web.

FR access is good and fast now. Timed out every time, unless TOR was being used with the same browser but slow.

Those of us using real computers known as desktops are notably ignored by this statement.

I changed from the “Free” VPN article to the paid VPN article mid-post.

Admin, could you remove the word “FREE” from the title. My error may lead FReepers to check out products beleiving they are free and later discover these are paid versions.

Firefox has something new that is supposed to be almost as good as MacBook

When I started posting the article above, I started with the "FREE" versions but then read:

"If your only need for a VPN is to keep you encrypted when using public Wi-Fi and streaming a little overseas television, then grabbing a free VPN can pay dividends."

I didn't see reviews for the firefox VPN, but here's the link for anyone who might be interested to the (other) best free VPNs:

WireGuard was pulled into the Linux kernel 5.6 source tree so it's only a matter of time before after-market VPN providers aren't even really needed anymore.

I used to follow Downloads.com or Cnet for years on free computer programs and information. https://download.cnet.com/s/firefox-vpn/

I also think encryption will be in most computers soon.

There are no truly free services. To provide you with maximum privacy, a VPN provider has to pay lots of money to provide strong encryption and be up and running.

Best ones aren’t expensive but if you need to surf securely online, they’re your best bet.

Just a sidenote:
I think CNET.com downloads gave me cyber PTSD. Ha! Downloaded from them for years and then one day downloaded from them on a high availability work computer. Now, that of course is not good practice. TOok that computer down so hard it took everything I’d learned in my life about computers to get it back! So now I’m skeerd of CNET.com downloads and try to find other sources. *shudder* :)

TOok that computer down so hard ....

Heard that they did some stuff but nothing that severe. I usually run a virus check after downloading something. They do have good info on electronic stuff.

I had a phone call and no one was here but there was a strange beep. When I went back to my MacBook the camera was on. I even got hacked by my landline. My personnel records, equafax, and my health insurance got hacked. I feel safer on the dark web than the “safe” stuff.

After getting my credit cards hacked twice, I tried to put the screws down anywhere I could, and VPN was one of them.

I have been using Express VPN for several years now, and I really like it. Well worth the money paid for the incremental effort towards some peace of mind on the Internet.

Not one option on that list is free. What’s up with the title?
