get paid for using a vpn ! TGTBT ?

"getting paid" must be too good to be true (TGTBT) ? well thats what mysterium offer ! (i think i read you can get up to €50/y)

ive been using protovpn for about a year now and and was happy with them until the gnu/linux client broke

are there any other reasons (if i am happy only being able to route via US, NL or JP) to switch to mullvad or mysterium ?

As we say in Russia, "free cheese is only in mouse traps". If you're getting paid for using a VPN, that means there's a way to monetize your connection. For example, selling what sites you've visited.

nice one ! however did you note that protonvpn is free free (which is why i keep using it) their catch is you can only choose 3 access points and there are NO OTHER RESTRICTIONS !

Always remember that if something is free then you are the product

They monetize by providing additional features to paid customers. Revenue from paid customers cover free customers as well, I guess.
