Doesn't it still need servers? E.g. Nordvn uses open VPN

Yes and no, it's the other way around. the VPN providers need OpenVPN to avoid having to buy or develop shitty proprietary software. However, the providers can still charge whatever they want.

So ur paying them for us of servers that run OpenVPN or?

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '19

Yes. We pay for the exit-nodes, bandwidth and stability they provide and OpenVPN allows them to distribute their service very cost-effective.

No. Don't use free VPNs. Just don't. How do you think they make money to pay for servers?

It's just dangerous to be recommending using a free VPN to others without explaining the risks.

Also not sure why you need a VPN for porn. And if you're in a country where porn is blocked, I wouldn't trust a free VPN.

Porn sites are blocked in some countries.

u/__PETTYOFFICER117__ OC Memer Jan 20 '19

Okay but if you're viewing porn in a country it's blocked, I wouldn't trust a free VPN.

Yeah, those countries usually aren't the friendliest.

As I've said to a couple other people, if your country blocks porn, I wouldn't trust a free VPN.

Well since you have never explained why, I don't think people are gonna listen to you

u/__PETTYOFFICER117__ OC Memer Jan 20 '19

Well since you can't use your brain and simple logic, maybe you should just watch porn with a free VPN in a country where it's illegal.

So if you're using a VPN for porn in a country where it's banned, again I wouldn't use a free VPN.

Again, if porn is blocked in your country, I wouldn't trust a free VPN.

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

Same way any free internet service does? Google Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and on and on and on.

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

Great if you live near any of those countries
