I love Riseup. They have the only truly-free VPN that I was able to find after lots of digging. (it sucks how all the paid ones and scams show up first, making people think there are no viable free VPNs.)

I signed up with disroot a while back but haven’t really used them extensively. I’m thinking of moving some of my stuff there. Anyone know of any issues with them in particular?

Not specific to Disroot, but since they are based in the Netherlands, you should be aware of Nine Eyes and always use end-to-end encryption. I know someone who avoids Disroot specifically but has not stated a reason for it... He uses envs.net though.
