There have been many vpn giveaways during the covid era but honestly, I prefer to buy subscriptions. Yeah, I understand that people from non-developed countries with evil governments don't have money to pay for such services but I have nothing against them.
In order to support the developers, I always buy their products on the internet. However, sometimes is hard to choose the best VPN to use so I frequently read some useful reviews. The one I really liked was made by guys from
pinpointvpn.com who described almost every positive and negative aspect of modern VPN products.
