    Q: What free no-account no-registration cross-platform VPN do you use?
    A: ?

    Slowly the free cross-platform VPNs that don't require payment or registration account are dwindling, which is too bad because the instant
    you pay for anything or the instant you create an account, your privacy is toast since everything you do is logged to that transaction forever.

    Mullvad is not free (it's a flat EUR5 per month) but allows you to pay by sending cash in the mail. You just send a random ID token generated on
    their website (no account possible). They don't log. When the cash runs
    out, send them another letter with cash and a new ID token and repeat - they have no way to connect your previous token with the new one (in fact, they don't allow token reuse).

    They support Wireguard, optional content blocking, and selection of location via different endpoint IPs.

    1. CalyxVPN (wireguard, free, no account)

    Requires registration. Is your information outdated?

    2. RiseupVPN (wireguard, free, no account)

    Looks free, but I don't see any list of servers?

    3. VPNGate (openvpn.exe, free, no account)

    I already have it bookmarked. It's still free. No registration.

    4. ? any others ?

    For true VPN, none yet from me.

    Note that Psiphon, Tor, Snowflake, Warp, etc., are different things, but
    note that if anything requires an account, then it's worthless for privacy.

    While it has its own advantages, Tor can't be used as true VPN, since it
    only support TCP.


    Also note that CloudflareWarp (free, no account) is not a privacy VPN.

    It requires registration.
