What is Riseup email?
Riseup is a volunteer-run collective providing secure email, email lists, a VPN service, online chat, and other online services. This organization was launched by activists in Seattle with borrowed equipment and a few users in 1999 or 2000, and quickly grew to millions of accounts.
Is Riseup open source?
RiseupVPN doesn't log any user data and doesn't require registration. The software is based on LEAP VPN, an open source VPN solution, and is run by the Riseup collective which has been offering privacy-preserving online services for activists for more than 20 years.
Is RiseupVPN good?
The RiseUp VPN services are slow when compared to commercial VPNs, probably down to the fact that many people are probably using this service without donating. This makes them good for basic internet use, but not so good for the likes of video streaming. If you want a 'leisure VPN' for streaming video etc.
