Like this article says towards the end, I would just recommend ProtonVPN for anyone looking for a casual free VPN service. None of the free services is going to be enough for fast streaming or downloads anyway.
For those who trust the "cloud" and just want (only) a VPN service under their control are capable of logging in to servers and running some commands, I'd recommend Algo [1] with WireGuard.

- GekkePrutser 6y agoIt depends what you're using a VPN for. If you're looking for anonimity, using a VPS with Algo is counterproductive as you now have a single IP you're always using and that only you yourself is using. This is worse than your Dynamic IP on your home/phone connection. For this purpose commercial providers are better because you're hiding in a crowd. If you're just looking to encrypt your traffic on an untrusted wifi or trying to connect to your own services, then Algo is great. I use it too for that purpose.
- newscracker 6y agoI agree. But the simplicity of deploying Algo (for those who can) means that you can always spin up a new instance, use it and trash it regularly to avoid being tied to a single IP (though I'm not convinced that hiding in a crowd based on IP address is going to be of help; it would still require several other mitigating measures in place against tracking).
