It’s so difficult with so many options and all these bullshit “discounts”, coupled with the fact that different VPNs charge different prices based on what country you’re connecting from…
What is the cheapest functional VPN you’ve come across? Bonus points if it supports IPv6.
Most VPN software is free. OpenVPN is FOSS and a popular product.
What are you trying to achieve?
Excuse me for digressing, but I think it’s no coincidence that the OP wanted a “cheap” VPN, not a “free” one. If the OP wanted something like privacy. If so, then a free VPN is a bad choice.
Honestly, I don’t believe that free VPNs will protect your privacy. If you just need something like unblocking websites, you can use a free VPN. If you care about privacy, do the opposite—pay for a VPN.
Tor. Or use gnunet’s ‘vpn’ function with friends in other countries.
Tailscale.
I’m surprised too. Since it’s a mesh VPN, you can set up your exit node anywhere you like.
I assume you need to pay for exit node hosting + traffic, right? Which would be comparable to the price of a classic VPN.
Mullvad. Supports IPv6, €5/month no matter how long you pay for or from what country.
AirVPN has a pretty good reputation AKAIK, and their 2-year plans are cheaper than Mullvad and Proton.
