I know it’s not recommended to use a free VPN provider and that they’re based in the US. However based on Lavabit’s history and that the VPN requires no signup or personal information I’m curious how this community interprets this utility.

    No reason to use it based on the ones you gave. ProtonVPN has a free tier but the other recommended VPNs (Mullvad, IVPN) are just $5/mo

    There’s nothing on the Lavabit website (or elsewhere that I could reliably confirm) that say they (Lavabit) have a VPN. I could always be cautious when using a new VPN (including one that is free) or one that isn’t listed on the company website.

      If you click the link I provided it takes you to the app on the google play store which also links to their website. It’s registered to Lavabit LLC. Additionally if you search for the app it is open source and attached to their GitHub account.
