I know it’s not recommended to use a free VPN provider and that they’re based in the US. However based on Lavabit’s history and that the VPN requires no signup or personal information I’m curious how this community interprets this utility.

    There’s nothing on the Lavabit website (or elsewhere that I could reliably confirm) that say they (Lavabit) have a VPN. I could always be cautious when using a new VPN (including one that is free) or one that isn’t listed on the company website.

      If you click the link I provided it takes you to the app on the google play store which also links to their website and is registered under Lavabit LLC. Additionally if you search for the app it is open source and attached to their GitHub account.

        Anybody can create a Google Play Store account like that (and link to any website and say it’s registered under a company), many Chinese companies do it.

        Regarding searching for the app, I did search for lavabit vpn and duckduckgo didn’t show a github account.
