Didn't even know they had a free tier until yesterday. Is it any good? I've been using it with no issue on low data situations.

Yes, I know about the original dev political issues.

The do traffic analysis and will block you if you do something scummy.

Not that they shouldn't. But keep in mind.

If they can still block you, how does anyone torrent?

On the free-tier torrenting is not allowed, on the payed vpn its ok
