kinda, but you have to pay for access to more than 3 servers. protonvpn has a paid tier (faster speeds, more servers, p2p support) – which people do pay for – putting them in the ‘okay’ category.

also, it’s a general rule that all ‘completely free!’ vpns sell your data, keep and sell logs(thats why they can afford to be free), have really slow speeds due to user overloads etc.

you must be accepted after filling out an application, then you’ll get your ssh key validated and only then can you tunnel in and join properly
