CENO (short for censorship.no!) is the world’s first mobile browser that side-steps current Internet censorship methods. Its peer-to-peer backbone allows people to access and share web information in and across regions where connectivity has been interrupted or compromised.

Free and Open Source

CENO is based on Firefox for Android, extended to make use of the Ouinet library - enabling third party developers to incorporate the CENO network into their apps for P2P connectivity.

Browsec VPN Version 3.70.0 Updated March 28, 2023 Size 3.34 MiB

 

I'm not quite familiar with the others, but browsec is a well-known KGB data mining tool.

Browsec logs your data, and it’s based in Russia.

Besides , even in paid version !: It doesn’t support P2P,

It doesn’t support Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney+

EDIT:

Maybe the other suggested VPN providers need a proper research too ?

And looks like this one is also russian ! Unfortunately I'm quite busy lately and I have no time to do a proper research, so please go ahead and prove otherwise .

[D.Draker]

First and foremost - start looking for VPN with NO-logging policies and (obviously) outside of russia, cuba , etc.

Then look who is the owner and where it is registered. Off-shore islands are the best. 

Do not use German VPN, from what I read, they are demanded to write and store logs by the German law !

Don't get me wrong though, I love Germans !

It's up to you to choose the software that works the way you want. I give you some tips to find the one you might like... My schedule is limited, I don't have time to take care of all aspects... So it would be nice to see your (all) precious help in this task, surely...Thank you very much in advance!

 

Browsec logs your data - like all other VPNs: "it can hand over if required by the law. That’s the case with many VPNs, even more expensive ones."

Unfortunately "Browsec is blocked in China. Like most VPNs, Browsec, too, won't be able to bypass the "Great Firewall." A Hong Kong server may allow some local coverage, but it is unlikely to work smoothly." Here: https://www.vpnmentor.com/reviews/browsec/

From FAQs on Browsec VPN:

"Is Browsec safe? Yes, Browsec is safe to use and install. I ran many tests, and Browsec didn’t leak any data."

User review: 

"Not So Bad!

I used Browsec before, and I got the chrome extension, it was pretty good for a free VPN, then I started using Browsec more and more of the time, this was the only free VPN with 256-aes-bit encryption and it was good, better than hola! VPN"

What do you think about ProtonVPN?
As per Wikipedia, they are a Swiss company with a clear no-log policy. I have started using it after reading this review for streaming.
Is it safe to use ProtonVPN?

To use Proton VPN you have to create an account as usual.

Thanks! Nothing good comes for free, eh? I assume this means logging and collecting, reporting. Did you try it? I'm looking for a decent VPN to bypass cloudfare, in crx format. I don't want them to log my IP.
